Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois Fight Preview and Prediction

Heavyweight boxing is often considered to be the pinnacle of the sport and both Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will aim to showcase that when they meet at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Joshua has the opportunity to become a three-time heavyweight world champion, as Dubois is putting his IBF belt on the line here.

Dubois was awarded the title after it was vacated by Oleksandr Usyk and he will be keen to prove it was no act of charity, and earn it fair and square by defeating Joshua.

Can he do it? Or will the far more fancied AJ flex his experience and power to claim the win and the title?

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois Fight Preview

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois is shaping up to be one of the biggest fights in British history, with these men two of the world's top-tier heavyweights who are more than ready to throw leather.

Anthony Joshua is currently in a bit of a career renaissance. He has bounced back spectacularly from his back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk with dominant wins over the likes of Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, Jermain Franklin and Francis Ngannou.

With each passing fight he appears to be becoming more and more confident and comfortable under new coach Ben Davison.

Daniel Dubois on the other hand, is the young up and comer who has grinded his way through an equally impressive (arguably better) roster of fighters to find himself here.

With very impressive wins over the likes of Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller preceded by a controversial loss to the man who vacated the heavyweight title – Usyk.

Looking at this from a style perspective, both fighters possess lights out power in both hands, great chins and solid stamina

AJ at 35 is in his absolute fighting prime with Dubois still on his ascent at 27 years of age.

All things considered, this should be AJ's night, he has the all-round better boxing skills in terms of footwork, combinations, patience, ring IQ and has looked great under new mentor Ben Davison.

That being said, Dubois is as tough as nails and certainly has the tools to trouble AJ. However, it just doesn’t feel like he's quite there defensively yes and seems far too comfortable with taking one to give one at the moment.

This strategy may have worked against lesser fighters, but against someone with AJ's power, you may not get the chance to give one after taking.

Prediction: Anthony Joshua by knockout in round 6.
