Anthony Joshua will challenge Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title on Saturday, bidding to become a three-time world champion.
Joshua, 34, previously held the unified titles twice, with his second reign ended by Oleksandr Usyk in 2022. Usyk then beat Tyson Fury this May to become undisputed champion, before vacating the IBF belt ahead of a rematch with the “Gypsy King” in December.
Before Usyk gave up the IBF title, Dubois stopped Filip Hrgovic to win the interim belt, and the 26-year-old has now been upgraded to regular champion. And “Dynamite” puts the title on the line for the first time when he faces Joshua – who threatened to “put a chair across” his fellow Briton’s face in June.
The undercard at Wembley features a number of high-profile names, too, including Joshua Buatsi, Josh Warrington, Liam Smith and Hamzah Sheeraz. That is due to Saudi investment, with this event representing the Gulf state’s second boxing card on foreign soil – and first in the UK.
