Daniel Dubois now has a target on his back following his destructive five-round demolition over Anthony Joshua to retain his IBF world heavyweight title.
The 27-year-old fought like a man possessed on Saturday night, landing several devastating right hands to floor his opponent four times in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
Immediately after Anthony Joshua suffered his fourth professional defeat, his promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that they could trigger their rematch clause with Daniel Dubois.
While that remains a potential option for the two Brits, another heavyweight has emerged to present an alternative option for the newly-crowned champion.
Daniel Dubois could face Joseph Parker next according to David Higgins
Former heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker has catapulted himself into the mix off the back of his recent victories against Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.
His promoter, David Higgins, has expressed a desire to secure a colossal showdown for the New Zealander, suggesting that a possible career-defining clash could arrive in the not too distant future.
Speaking with Sky Sports, he said: “Whenever, anywhere, anytime,” Higgins told Sky Sports. “Joseph would love to fight Daniel Dubois next, he’s chomping at the bit.
“Parker is on a roll and has surprised people and I think you could say the same about Daniel Dubois.
“Styles make fights and I think the fans would love to see Joseph Parker versus Daniel Dubois, so if the powers that be are willing to make that fight, that would be a wonderful thing.
“He has no fear of Daniel Dubois. He’d fight him anywhere, anytime and back himself to beat and knock out Daniel Dubois.”
Could Daniel Dubois face the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury?
While a collision with Parker could make for a fascinating spectacle, Dubois seemingly has his eyes fixed on the acquisition of more jewellery instead.
On December 21, a mouth-watering rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following their eagerly-anticipated encounter in May.
After 12 thrilling rounds, it was Usyk who had done enough to claim perhaps the most significant win of his career and become the undisputed heavyweight champion, with Fury now looking to exact revenge on the Ukrainian.
And yet, regardless of who emerges victorious in their fiercely-awaited rematch, Dubois will no doubt be itching to get his hands on the three remaining world titles in his division.
