Joshua vs. Dubois Set for an Epic Showdown at Wembley
Tonight, boxing fans are in for a treat as two British heavyweights, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, face off for the IBF world title at Wembley Stadium. The excitement is palpable, and both fighters are ready to prove themselves in the ring. Joshua, the two-time unified world champion, weighed in at a solid 18 stone, slightly heavier than Dubois at 17 stone 10 pounds. Despite the difference, both fighters are bringing their best form into this highly anticipated bout.
Joshua, 34, has made it clear that he’s far from hanging up his gloves, stating that he still sees himself as a “gladiator” in the battlefield, ready to perform. His experience and power, having knocked out 25 opponents in his 28 victories, make him a formidable contender. Coming off a second-round knockout of Francis Ngannou earlier this year, Joshua is looking to become a three-time world champion. His fans have stuck with him through thick and thin, and he urged them to "pray for my success" tonight as he aims to reclaim the title.

On the other side of the ring, Daniel Dubois, 27, is no stranger to big fights, having been upgraded to the IBF world champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title. Dubois has a reputation for his knockout power, boasting 20 stoppages in 21 victories. Despite being more reserved in the lead-up to the fight, Dubois is laser-focused, repeating the words, "I'm ready to fight," showing he means business.
Wembley Stadium has already sold 96,000 tickets, surpassing the record set by Tyson Fury’s fight in 2022. This spectacle, organized with an extravagant British theme throughout fight week, even features a performance by Liam Gallagher before the main event. The stage is set, the fighters are prepped, and fans are eager for what is expected to be a knockout-heavy match.
Both Joshua and Dubois have knockout records that speak for themselves, with Joshua delivering crushing blows in his last three fights and Dubois looking to defend his title with his own knockout power. Tonight’s match could very well end in a knockout, making it one of the most electrifying showdowns in recent British boxing history.
