Anthony Joshua Poised for Possible Third World Title Against Dubois
Anthony Joshua, a former two-time heavyweight boxing champion, is gearing up for a much-anticipated bout against fellow British boxer Daniel Dubois. This clash, set to unfold at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium, promises an electrifying atmosphere with approximately 96,000 fans expected to attend. Notably, this fight forms part of the Riyadh Season events.
Joshua will be seeking to reclaim the IBF World Heavyweight Championship, a title he previously lost to Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021. Since his defeat, Joshua has bounced back with four consecutive victories under the guidance of Ben Davison, Tyson Fury‘s former trainer. Dubois, on the other hand, has been elevated to full champion status following Usyk’s decision to vacate the belt, making this encounter crucial for both fighters.
Ricky Hatton, a well-known figure in the boxing community, has expressed his support for Joshua. Hatton praises Joshua for his superior boxing ability, fluency, and speed, suggesting he stands a favorable chance to land crucial punches against Dubois. According to Hatton, Joshua’s happier state of mind compared to his last fight with Usyk could be instrumental in his performance.
The event boasts an exciting undercard, featuring a fight between Anthony Cacace and Josh Warrington for the IBF super-featherweight title. Additionally, former Oasis frontman, Liam Gallagher, will entertain the crowd with a live performance.
Fans in the UK can catch the Joshua vs Dubois fight live on DAZN Pay-Per-View for £19.99. The event, scheduled for Saturday, September 21, will kick off around 7 PM BST with further details on the ringwalk times to be confirmed.
