Anthony Joshua faces IBF champion Daniel Dubois this Saturday with a chance to become a three-time world heavyweight champion. The two will square off in the main event of a pay-per-view event at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Dubois claimed the IBF interim title in his last fight, securing an eighth-round TKO victory over Filip Hrgovic. He was later promoted to full champion status after the IBF stripped Oleksandr Usyk for prioritizing his contractually obligated rematch with Tyson Fury over facing a mandatory challenger.
As a result, many fans see this bout with Joshua as more of a contest for a symbolic title, with Usyk still regarded as the true heavyweight champion.
