Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois: Date, UK start time, location, undercard and how to follow huge heavyweight title bout
28/06/2024 10:14
Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are now confirmed to meet for a huge heavyweight title bout at Wembley this September.
AJ has the chance to become only the sixth-ever three-time heavyweight champion as he looks to win the belt from Dubois.
'DDD' was the holder of the IBF interim strap but has now been upgraded following Oleksandr Usyk's decision to vacate his title to allow this fight to happen.
The British rivals have a combined 45 knockouts between them in their careers so it is set to be a blockbuster bout later this year.
Joshua will be making his fourth appearance at Wembley while Dubois is set to fight in front of over 80,000 people for the first time.

Joshua vs Dubois: What has been said?
Dubois’ trainer, Don Charles, has insisted he will need to absorb fewer punches than in his last fight if he is to beat Joshua.
It is a huge challenge against AJ, and his coach is planning to make defensive tweaks to prevent him from sustaining as much damage.
He said on talkSPORT Breakfast: “We have a lot of work to do.
“The defence, everyone has latched on to that and him getting with right hands. Yes we can see that and we are trying to improve.
“They say ‘he will get knocked out by AJ’ because he is leaking right hands. But in boxing when you throw a right hand, you are also in danger of being hit with one yourself.
“If they are foolish enough to bank on that, they have something else coming.
“We aren’t ignorant we are going to work on it. He took far too many against Hrgovic.
“That wasn’t the plan, but we will rectify that in the Joshua fight and we are not going to this time.”
