Dsalita Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are reportedly in talks for a highly anticipated heavyweight bout on September 21st at Wembley Stadium in London.
Dubois, a rising star with an impressive record, will have his IBF interim heavyweight title up for grabs, potentially upgrading to the full belt if he faces Joshua. The negotiations have begun, with Dubois’ promoter Frank Warren leading the discussions.
Joshua’s decision to fight Dubois makes sense for several reasons. Firstly, holding the fight in London requires a local fighter like Dubois to attract a large crowd at Wembley. Additionally, obtaining the IBF title will strengthen Joshua’s bargaining power for future matchups, including a potential fight against the winner of Fury vs. Usyk II.
For Joshua, facing Dubois is a chance to challenge himself against quality opponents and rebuild his confidence after a series of fights against lesser competition. Dubois, coming off an impressive victory over Hrgovic, presents a tough challenge for Joshua, who has been criticized for his chin and stamina in the past.
Overall, the upcoming fight between Joshua and Dubois promises to be an exciting and pivotal moment in the world of heavyweight boxing.
