The official announcement of the fight is expected today, June 26
Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KO) And Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KO) had their first battle of views.
The British Derby will be held as Dubois’s first title defense: today Daniel became a full-fledged IBF heavyweight world champion after Ukrainian Alexander Usik renounced his belt.
The head of the promotion company Queensberry Promotions, Frank Warren, reported that the Dubois and Joshua teams are negotiating a fight. The official announcement of the agreement is planned for today, June 26.
It was reported that the fight between Daniel and Anthony will take place on September 21. The arena for the event will be Wembley Stadium.
Dubois finished the fight with Filip Hrgovic in the eighth round. The fight took place as part of the “5 on 5” event in Riyadh. The British heavyweight won the title of “interim” IBF champion in a fight with the Croatian.
Joshua defeated former UFC world champion Francis Ngannou in his last fight. After the fight, Eddie Hearn named Anthony the No. 1 heavyweight boxer in the world. Joshua himself spoke about his desire to fight the next fight in June, but he was offered to postpone the fight to September.
