Joshua and Dubois clash for IBF title at Wembley on September 21

In a highly anticipated boxing match, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are set to face off at Wembley Stadium on September 21. This fight marks Dubois's first defense of the IBF title, which he claimed after defeating Filip Hrgovic. Joshua, a former two-time unified champion, is looking to reclaim his status and become a three-time world champion following two consecutive decision losses to Oleksandr Usyk. During a recent joint interview, both fighters addressed their past sparring sessions, with Joshua mentioning that Dubois 'apparently took my lights out.' Dubois, however, emphasized that their previous encounters are irrelevant to the upcoming fight, stating, 'I’m not here to spar, I’m here to fight.' The conversation highlighted the tension and competitive spirit between the two heavyweights. Promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren also weighed in on the fighters' past performances, with Hearn referencing Dubois's impressive stoppage win over Hrgovic. Warren noted that the sparring stories are outdated, as both fighters have evolved since then. The focus is now on the upcoming bout, which is expected to draw a record-breaking crowd. The fight is anticipated to break the all-time attendance record for a British boxing event, currently held by Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte, which attracted 94,000 fans. With ticket sales already exceeding expectations, the event is poised to be a significant moment in British boxing history.
