FRANK WARREN has backed Anthony Joshua to take on Daniel Dubois following their victories during the “Day of Reckoning” on Saturday.
Deontay Wilder was next in line to face AJ – as the pair signed to fight each other – but the Bronze Bomber’s defeat against Joseph Parker blew the £100m mega-fight.
Joshua took fans back to the old days after he stopped Otto Wallin in five rounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The British fighter is now set for a thriller in 2024 as he is on the road to becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion.
But AJ needs a new opponent if he wants to continue climbing up the ranks.
And Warren thinks fellow Brit Dubois would be the perfect opponent.

He told TalkSPORT: “For me, Dubois could fight any of those guys in the top 10. Even AJ would be a good fight. I’d watch that all day long.”
The 26-year-old stopped Jarrell Miller in the tenth and final round following an impressive performance in Saudi Arabia.
And after his win, Dubois is confident the Hall of Fame boxing promoter will make the bout happen between him and British heavyweight giant AJ.
Dubois suffered a defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August, but many fans believed he deserved to win.

He could now be poised to take on the Ukrainian again while Joshua lines up another bout in a bid to take back his heavyweight title.
Meanwhile, for AJ, Filip Hrgovic, the IBF mandatory challenger, was who the Brit first mentioned in his post-fight press conference.
Fighting the Croatian would be Joshua’s quickest way back to world champion status.
Dubois however is more well-known which could be a bigger payday for AJ as he will miss out on a fight against Wilder – who suffered his third career loss.
