Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois to be held on September 21
Coach of the former world champion Deontay Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) Malik Scott shared his opinion regarding the upcoming fight between the former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KO) and the IBF heavyweight belt holder Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KO).
“Joshua has a solid base, excellent boxing skills and a great coach. This guy is very motivated and dangerous right now. At the same time, I think Dubois has problems with defense.”
“Of course, Dubois has surprised me lately. He weathered the storm from Hrgovic and Miller, but Joshua is on another level. If I were a gambling man, I would bet on AJ. I think Joshua will stop Dubois between the third and seventh rounds.”
The Dubois-Joshua 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 gave up his 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 Cacace 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.
