The highly anticipated Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois showdown is set for Sept. 21 at the Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom. 'Dynamite' is slated to put his IBF heavyweight title on the line in a 12-round all-British clash against Joshua.
Joshua has reignited his career after suffering back-to-back decision losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022. With emphatic stoppage victories over Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin last year, 'AJ' continued his resurgence, delivering a thunderous second-round knockout of former UFC champion Francis Ngannou this past March.
Meanwhile, Dubois secured the IBF interim title with a dominant eighth-round TKO victory over Filip Hrgovic in June. He was later promoted to full champion status after Usyk vacated the belt. However, the 27-year-old Greenwich native faced a controversial setback in August 2023, losing by a ninth-round knockout to 'The Cat'. Despite this, Dubois has previously demonstrated remarkable resilience, bouncing back after his 10-round stoppage loss to Joe Joyce in 2020.
