Just when it appeared that Anthony Joshua was about to make an epic comeback, Daniel Dubois catches him with a perfect counter that puts him down for good. I could never really understand why AJ was so favored among fans and experts when he gets hurt so easily and has awful stamina. Dubois is a monster puncher, he is faster and younger. It should be no surprise that he made it look easy against Joshua who is damaged goods.
Since Joshua was considered the A-side, of course Matchroom demanded a rematch clause, which Eddie Hearn intends to enforce. A rematch is pointless. Dubois was the defending champion and demonstrated an overwhelming superiority. The only thing AJ gains is more brain damage and it holds up a unification against the winner of Fury vs. Usyk 2.
With the confidence Dubois gained, he will be a dangerous fighter who could possibly take the crown as best heavyweight for several years to come, considering that Usyk and Fury are in the final stage of their illustrious careers.

Anthony Joshua here in a decision. I think they younger fella has enough to stay with Joshua but can't see him losing. With that being said I wouldn't be shocked if it was the other way around. I usually throw a couple bones on title fights to make them more interesting to watch I'm gonna go light on this one because I think it's too close to lay too much down. Should be a good fight either way.

He is in the stadium. He was just interviewed and asked about his opinion on who would win the fight and he opted for Joshua because they knew each other from their amateur days. Everybody knows Dubois takes a lot of punches but when he responds by throwing powerful left and right hooks, he can tilt any fight in his favour but Haney (and I think all others interviewed) went for Joshua to win.
I am still convinced Dubois will win by knockout in a similar way to how Ruiz knocked out Joshua within six rounds.

Devin Haney lashing out on Eddie Hearn as the later won't give him tickets, Lol. But I guess the hype for this fight is real, as everyone wanted to watch this fight.
I'm going with the "Will The Fight Go The Distance" bet here.

At the weigh-in and face-off, Joshua seemed worried and anxious. I think he was scared because the pressure of what it at stake. What he knows is that of he loses he will probably retire and that cannot be an easy fear to live with. As for Dubois, he was definitely in his element enjoying the moment and just wants to get in the ring.
In the press conference on Thursday, Dubois stated "I'm ready to fight" three times. He is desperate to beat Joshua and I think he will do it in style by knockout within two rounds with heavy hitting and if that did not happen, I anticipate he will win by knockout within six rounds.
Today at 06:55:59 AM
I'll say Dubois has more on the line in this fight and needs to defeat Joshua to keep getting more high profile championship matches, Joshua can get those off his reputation. I'm expecting Joshua to win.
Nope, I think Joshua is the one who has more on the line and I'm rooting for him to take out Dubois on TKO. I watched their pre-match talks and I think Dubois deserves to be punched in the mouth for talking down on him. It's not only lawyers or doctors who deserve respect. Every sportsman deserves to be treated with respect by their fellow contenders.As for Joshua, I saw a little bit of bravado but he seemed worried because he 34 years old but Dubois is 27 years old and is the IBF champion that won 20 of his 21 fights. I am convinced Dubois will win by knockout when they fight this evening.
Well, if we talk of age; I don't think seven years in between them should be anything to worry about for AJ. The age difference isn't like the double up on age (so to say) we've between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. AJ should be able to win this one. He shouldn't stretch it to make the judges decide the outcome. He should make Dubois kiss the canvass on time.I sincerely hope AJ will be in his element tonight as he was with Francis Ngannou.

The poll in the thread is far too one-sided in favour of Joshua but after just 9 votes it still tells a story. The poll should have had many more votes.
When they had their weigh-in, to be completely honest Dubois looked as though he wanted to get in the ring and just win the fight. As for Joshua, I saw a little bit of bravado but he seemed worried because he 34 years old but Dubois is 27 years old and is the IBF champion that won 20 of his 21 fights.

Joshua yesterday claimed he had no plans to retire soon because he started boxing late in life but that does not matter because age is the determining factor here. Dubois is younger and clearly wants to win the fight more, he is the IBF champion and will probably ensure Joshua will retire after he wins.

Boxing between Joshua vs. Dubois has been talked about a lot lately by boxing fans, I hear them often talking about Joshua being the favorite, but unlike me, to be honest I'm not sure Joshua can beat Dubois this time.
This time I don't have the slightest doubt that Dubois has the iron fist to beat Joshua. For the IBF class champion, I'm pretty sure Dubois is superior, even though many people idolize Joshua, but in heavyweight boxing one punch can change everything, Dubois is young and tough he will do anything to beat his opponent, I'm sure Dubois' punch will change everything, just like OP's retirement prediction.
Whatever the risks that occur on 09/21/24, my choice is still to.

Dana White promoting this fight? LOL. And as what others said in the comment, it seems that Dana White is not working with HE Turki here.
Well it make sense, the Saudi has a lot of money, and as a businessman, Dana will do anything to please Turki here as he has a vested interest. Joshua though still the huge favorite here, but I think Dubois is a live underdog.

If I based on the result on the poll right now, Joshua has the leading score and I believed he got the best odds. But, what if the situation goes in reverse I think it might give me a luck in the first place then I'll take the big wins. Sometimes, surveys isn't technically reliable to consider so it's always essential to know what the capabilities of a boxer was. It's hard to trust based on analysis these days, so it's better to study and research briefly on the sport that you really wanted to play on betting.
We don't know who will be beatin up during the fight, but I have a big trust om Dubois that he could withstand against Joshua.

I am still very confident Dubois will win and Joshua will contemplate retirement.

It's already fight week, for sure fans of this fighters are excited. Although Dubois is still a huge almost 4:1 underdog against Joshua. But this could be a great fight that we can see the underdog might pull it off, just saying.

It seems Wembley Stadium has a 90,000 capacity but it was increased to 94,000 for the Fury vs Whyte fight in 2022. Now it is being increased to 96,000 for the Dubois vs Joshua fight. Momentum and interest is slowly increasing in this fight because it is an all-British title fight (Dubois is the IBF champion) and not only that, the winner will probably face the winner of the Fury vs Usyk December 2024 rematch for a unification fight.
I am still very confident Dubois will win and Joshua will contemplate retirement.

It was announced today that the Dubois vs Joshua fight at Wembley Stadium has been completely sold out.
I think the majority will favour Joshua to win the fight and it is difficult to argue against that view. Having said that, I previously stated support for Dubois to win against Joshua because I think he will avoid the jab and get close enough to Joshua to hurt him. Also, in my opinion Joshua dismissed a below par Ngannou on the night with that punch and has since become far too overconfident of his limited abilities.
Basically, I see this as a career ending fight for Joshua and for that it is a must-win for him whereas Dubois will still have time to try another time for a title fight even if he loses on 21st September.

I don't know if he will do it in three but I think AJ should get a KO or stoppage. AJ went the distance twice against Usyk whereas Dubois went out in the 9th. Whilst Dubois has won his last two with great performances I just think AJ is gonna be too good for him. Hopefully whoever wins this fight gets Fury or Usyk next, though everyone wants to see Fury/AJ and it looks like Turki wants that fight so it will probably happen.

Tony Bellew stated in an interview he believes Joshua will win the fight against Dubois by knocking him out in three rounds. He claimed Dubois was was hit 45 times by Filip Hrgovic with his right hand in four rounds in his previous fight and stated Joshua was faster therefore concluded Joshua would win.

Dubois is the IBF heavyweight world champion and he will not surrender the belt. I think he will beat Joshua and after that will fight the winner of the Fury vs Usyk rematch.

We are now two months away from this all British IBF heavyweight clash. I still believe that Dubois will win the fight in part because he the IBF heavyweight champion and is also the younger and seems more eager. As for Joshua, I think he should retire if he loses the fight because he had his time and opportunities but failed to capitalise on them. Now he should move aside with dignity if he does not win.
July 13, 2024, 12:58:08 PM
It did seem as though Joshua was trying to bully Dubois in a way that was supposed to demonstrate he was allowed to say and do what he wanted yet Dubois was supposed to sit there and accept it without responding. Anyway, the poll is far wider of the mark than I anticipated at this point. Seven votes have been case with five in favour of Joshua and only two in favour of Dubois. I hope we see more votes in the poll.

Usually when one person gets bullied he his the perpetrator and the one getting bullied when they respond they are usually not called a bully. I am glad Dubois stood up to Joshua but he should not have backed down, he should have made sure the bully Joshua did not have the last word. The best thing Dubois can do is let his hands to the talking in the ring, I hope he wins by a clear KO.
As for the winner facing Fury or Usyk, it will be another unification fight because Usyk holds all the heavyweight belts except one and that one is held by Dubois. Interesting boxing happening in September and December

Both are bullies as far as I know, or at least based on that video. Both of them are trying to intimidate each one so I will say that it's not like Dubois has disrespect him first or what. This is boxing match fueled with testosterone level and so they both wanted to win at least in psyche war and no one wanted to give an inch.
For sure AJ will think this as a personal fight because he wanted to win and continue with his comeback and of course the biggest fight as the winner is supposedly going to fight the winner of Fury vs Usyk. So that stakes are high and so are the emotions of this boxers.

Exactly, if he doesn't like how Joshua conduct himself, he should stand up and that's what he did here, he never back down from that kind of intimidation and then Joshua doesn't like it and then play victim.
Anyhow, I would like to see how Dubois will carry himself moving forward, he could take this as motivation and let his hands do the talking and give AJ the beating and to humble him. Unification fights are now common and again we should thank Saudi for being the power broker in boxing so that we see this kind of great fights.

Here is the face-off and it seems that they are building the hype already,
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1hu0Y0TBPx4
Dubois very aggressive but Joshua tries to be cool. However, AJ can't stand Dubois disrespecting him and so they almost got it during their sit down interview. And it could be dangerous for Dubois as he wake up the fire in AJ here and so I'm thinking that AJ is taking this fight very personal and so might go and look for early knockout to silence Dubois here.
