On Saturday night in London, UK, a domestic heavyweight title clash is expected to have over 90,000 fans in attendance at Wembley Stadium. IBF champion Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) will defend his title against former two-time unified champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs). These two have been going at it in a war of words since the fight was first announced.
The champion Dubois has been on a run since losing in August 2023 to the unified champion Oleksandr Usyk. He would finish the year with a TKO victory over Jarrell Miller and then score another TKO victory in June but this time against Filip Hrgovic for the interim IBF title. After the IBF pressured Usyk to defend against his mandatory, he vacated, making Dubois the full champion. Now Dubois will be a part of the biggest fight of his career as he defends against the UK’s darling Joshua.

The challenger, Joshua, is on a four-fight winning streak after losing to Usyk for the second time in August 2022. Joshua is still a mega star in the UK, and the 90,000 plus that will be in attendance is primarily due to his drawing power. Can Joshua beat Dubois and become a three-time heavyweight champion?
