Daniel Dubois is set to defend his IBF heavyweight title against former champion Anthony Joshua this weekend in an eagerly anticipated all-British showdown at Wembley Stadium. With a record crowd of 96,000 expected, the fight promises to be one of the most significant events in British boxing history.
At 34, Joshua is looking to reclaim his status as a three-time world champion after experiencing three defeats in his professional career, though he boasts an impressive record of 28 wins, 25 of which have come by knockout. Meanwhile, 27-year-old Dubois, who claimed the interim IBF title earlier this year, was elevated to full champion status following Oleksandr Usyk’s decision to vacate the belt. Dubois enters the ring with 21 victories, including 20 stoppages, and only two losses.
Boxing enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement, anticipating an explosive encounter between the two heavyweights. Both fighters are known for their knockout power, making this clash a potential highlight for fans.
For those unable to attend, live text and radio commentary of the Dubois-Joshua fight will be available from 19:00 BST on the BBC Sport website and app, allowing fans to stay updated on the action as it unfolds.
As fight night approaches, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both athletes, each aiming to secure their place in boxing history.
