AJ benefits from experience in such confrontations.
British boxer Fabio Wardley commented on the upcoming fight between the former world champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KO) and the IBF heavyweight belt holder Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KO).
“I think AJ will win. I think Joshua will stop Dubois. Why? Who knows, but I think he’s big and strong. I’m not saying Daniel has no chance at all, but I just think AJ is a little sharper, he’s been in this game longer, he’s more used to the big stage.”
“Again, I’m not taking anything away from Daniel, he’s had some big fights. But in terms of comfort level right now, I think AJ is going to take advantage of his opportunity.”
The fight will take place on September 21. The arena for the event will be London’s Wembley Stadium. There, Dubois will defend his IBF heavyweight title, which he received after Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk renounced the belt.
The fight will be the headliner of a big night of boxing. The undercard will feature fights such as Tyler Denny vs. Hamza Shiraz, Anthony Kasame vs. Josh Warrington, Liam Smith vs. Josh Kelly, Joshua Buatsi vs. Willie Hutchinson and Mark Chamberlain vs. Josh Pudley.
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 the fight with the Croatian.
Joshua won his last fight against former UFC world champion Francis Ngannou. After the fight, Eddie Hearn called Anthony the number 1 heavyweight boxer in the world. Joshua himself spoke about his desire to hold his next fight in June, but he was offered to postpone the fight until September.
