Anthony Joshua Set to Face Daniel Dubois for IBF Heavyweight Title in September Showdown
In a highly anticipated showdown, former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is set to face off against Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title on September 21 at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London. The announcement comes after Oleksandr Usyk, the current undisputed heavyweight champion, vacated the IBF title, allowing Dubois, the interim champion, to be elevated to full champion status.
The fight, which is expected to draw a massive crowd of 90,000 fans, marks Joshua's return to the ring after his impressive victory over Otto Wallin in December. Joshua, with a record of 28 wins and 3 losses, will be looking to reclaim the heavyweight title and solidify his position as one of the top fighters in the division.
On the other hand, Dubois, who boasts a record of 21 wins and 2 losses, will be defending his newly acquired title for the first time. The 26-year-old British boxer earned his shot at the title after defeating Filip Hrgovic in June, setting the stage for a thrilling clash with Joshua.
