ANTHONY JOSHUA has been called out by one of his old rivals for a rematch following his loss to Daniel Dubois.

Dubois knocked AJ out four times in the fifth round in front of a British record 98,000 fans.

The historic crowd also included Dillian Whyte, who has a longstanding rivalry with Joshua.

And White wants to settle the British dispute once and for all.

he told talkSPORT“I saw Dubois-Agee and I thought to myself, ‘I can beat these guys.’

“I’m perfectly capable of beating him. I didn’t see anything in particular that would make me say, ‘Okay, the legs were great or the movement was great’.”

“Obviously, I saw a lot of power and aggression that they both bring.

“So I’m very motivated. I can’t wait to get back and compete in the big matches. So hopefully in November and then in December.”

Whyte, 36, beat Joshua, 34, as an amateur but lost when they fought again professionally in 2015.

Their fight was scheduled for August 2023, but White received an “adverse finding” in a drug test prior to the bout.

It was later determined that a contaminated supplement had caused the finding, after which White was allowed to be retested.

The heavyweight picked up a win over 36-year-old Christian Hammer in March and is looking to fight two more times this year.

Meanwhile AJ has refused to retire and has been in talks with promoter Eddie Hearn and Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh.

And the money-rich Alalshikh has given Joshua the green light to pursue a rematch with the 27-year-old Dubois, likely in February.
