'I genuinely believe Tyson will beat Usyk in December, 'says Warren. 'Even in losing a close first fight he proved he can outbox the master boxer Usyk and can hurt him.

'And he knows he must cut out the showboating this time and get down to business straight away.

'But if it is another defeat the Joshua fight will still be there and the Saudis would still be very keen on that.

'Then there's Daniel, matured now and ready for anyone. I would find it awkward making his fight with Tyson because they're both my fighters, have been with me ten years or more and I love them. But if they both want to do it so be it.

'Just as if Tyson suddenly says he wants to retire I would tell him to go ahead. I always say fighters are the first to know if they're in decline and the last to admit it.

'But in Tyson's case he also needs his boxing for the sake of his mental health problems.'

Warren does not anticipate a WBC title rematch between Joshua and Dubois happening and interfering with the schedule, even though it has been strongly mooted for February in Riyadh or Wembley.

'I don't believe that when it comes to it Joshua is going to risk taking that fight,' says Warren. 'Not after being knocked out like that.'

Dubois will still fight in February, perhaps in a mandatory defence of his WBC title. Warren adds: 'Then I would like to see Daniel rematch that defeat by Usyk in a fight I still believe he won with a legal body shot, not a low blow.'
