JAKARTA - Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois will duel at Wembley Stadium, England, on September 21, 2024, local time.

Dubois, who currently controls the IBF heavyweight interim belt, is eyeing a win over Joshua in order to legitimize the full world title.

It's just that, ahead of the fight, predictions leading to Anthony Joshua starting to flow.

For example, Darch. He is Anthony Joshua's fourth professional rival in boxing. They had a duel in February 2014.

Joshua beat the Wales boxer at the Cardiff International Arena with an incredible second round of knockouts.

Darch's prediction is arguably objective considering he also fought Dubois in 2017. At that time, Darch defeated Dubois with a second round of knockouts.

"To be honest, Dubois, since Joe Joyce's fight, he has become much more resilient. I think he gave up a little bit in that fight."

"However, against Filip Hrgovic, he continued to fight even though Hrgovic attacked him with a lot of right hit."

"It's just that you can't take so many right hits from Joshua. He (Joshua) will put you to sleep."

"AJ had a knockout force with one hit. Dubois, when he hit me, I had seen him beat other people."

"He (Dubois) hit me until he fell, but the blow didn't shake, just knocked me down. While AJ hit me on the temple, I lost balance, my feet were lost (equilibrium)," Darch said as reported by The Sun.

Similar favoriteism also emerged from Daniel Dubois' teammate, Johnny Fisher.

He did seed Joshua in the duel later, but he warned the Great British boxer would not win easily.

Fisher said Dubois had a strong blow that would make it difficult for Joshua. In addition, Dubois is also much younger than AJ, which is 26 years compared to 34 years.

"I clearly support Anthony Joshua, but not with the margins people expect. I think it's like 55/60 compared to 40/45 in favor of Anthony Joshua."

"Dubiis can really hit. I've practiced a lot of fighting with him. His right hand can shake your whole body."

"I remember when I was hit, it felt like an electric shock that spread all over my body."

"While I can't talk about sparring with Anthony Joshua, I know that Dubois is not an easy opponent."

"He has won big over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, who have been a scourge for the past two or three years," Fisher told Seconds Out.

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will compete on September 21, 2024 to compete for the IBF heavyweight title. The duel winner will also be given the opportunity to fight the winner of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury.

Joshua has the experience of winning the championship belt, having won the world twice.

Dubois is holding the current interim IBF belt after Usyk let him go to approve a rematch against Fury.

However, earlier this week Dubois revealed that he was eyeing a win that made him the legitimate world champion.

Dubois lost in his bid to win an integrated world title when Oleksandr Usyk stopped him in nine rounds last year.

The London boxer came back after that to beat Jarrell Miller and then win the interim IBF belt with his win over Filip Hrgovic.
