Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua should be focused on Daniel Dubois ahead of September 21 fight, not Oleksandr Usyk.

Even if it means facing Oleksandr Usyk a third time, Anthony Joshua will want to pursue his aim of winning the heavyweight belt again.

Joshua's primary goal is to overcome Daniel Dubois in order to win the IBF title and become one of the few heavyweight world champions to win three titles.

Joshua vs. Dubois is set for September 21 in front of over 100,000 thousand at Wembley Stadium, London.

Next, the focus will shift to Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, who will square off again in Riyadh on December 21.

In May, the Ukrainian defeated Fury by a unanimous decision to become undisputed at heavyweight.

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn stated that even if Joshua won the world heavyweight championship on September 21, his focus is clearly on Dubois, and the only matchup he would desire after that is the Usyk-Fury winner.

Joshua was defeated by Usyk in 2021 and was unable to improve on his performance in a rematch the following year.

But after his initial defeat by Usyk, his training group has changed, and under new coach Ben Davison, he has found success.

Hearn is optimistic that in the third and final installment of a trilogy, Joshua will defeat Dubois and maybe even Usyk.

If Joshua wins his rematch with Usyk, he would almost certainly face his fierce foe Tyson Fury.
