Joshua expresses a tough fight against Dubois.
Anthony Joshua says he anticipates a Daniel Dubois tough challenge in their IBF heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium on September 21.
“It’s going to be a tough fight for sure,” Joshua said when discussing the fight against Dubois.
The two-time former world champion commended Dubois’ close-knit family unit, recognising it as a strength that has benefitted the 27-year-old’s career.
“I look at the pros in people, and I like the family, the synergy he has with his family,” Joshua said. “It plays a part; it plays a massive part in the influence a family has in a fighter’s career. I think that is helping Daniel along the way.”
The highly expected clash will see 96,000 fans create an electric atmosphere at Wembley Stadium, a venue familiar to Joshua but a new territory for Dubois.
As Joshua has fought several times under the iconic Wembley arch, this will be Dubois’ first venture into England’s national stadium.

The pressure will be on Dubois’ team, led by trainer Don Charles, to keep emotions in check ahead of what is undoubtedly the biggest fight of his career.
The British-Nigerian currently refuted claims Dubois nearly knocked him out during a sparring session in 2016, saying, “He just cracked me with a good shot. I stood on my feet. I don’t know where this whole narrative of someone turning my lights off came from.”
“Joshua been the king for a long time, and on the night, I need to become a king slayer. That’s my goal; that’s the mission at hand,” Dubois said.
The boxing fans are divided on the possible outcome of the fight. While some former world champions like Liam Smith and Josh Warrington back Joshua, others, including Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang, believe Dubois has what it takes to shock the world.
While September 21 showdown approaches, both fighters are in top form and hungry for victory, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated heavyweight clashes of the
year.
