The highly awaited boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois on September 21 will take place at Wembley Stadium in London. This match is gearing up to potentially break the record for the largest boxing crowd ever at the venue. The current record, set by the Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte fight in April 2022, stands at 94,000. However, thanks to a recent capacity extension approved by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the Anthony Joshua vs. Dubois event is expected to draw an even larger crowd of 96,000.
The Stakes For Anthony Joshua
This fight is crucial for Anthony Joshua, the 34-year-old former two-time heavyweight champion with a record of 28-3, 25 KOs. The match is expected to be a straightforward win for Joshua, who is up against the less experienced 26-year-old Daniel Dubois. Dubois has a record of 21-2, 20 KOs, with his two losses coming against Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk. However, if Anthony Joshua were to lose, especially by knockout, it would be a significant setback for him and his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Dubois: A Different Fighter Now
What many fans and experts seem to overlook is the growth Dubois has undergone since his losses. Dubois is not the same fighter who lost to Joyce and Usyk. His fight against Usyk was controversial because Dubois knocked Usyk down with a body shot in the fifth round, but the referee ruled it a low blow. Many believe he should have won that fight, which would have made his record 22-1 with 21 knockouts.
He also lost to Joyce due to an eye injury but some argue that if he did a rematch with him Dubois would have a potential win over him. His youth, power, and renewed self-belief make him a more dangerous opponent than people realize.
Although much focus is on the main event, the undercard has not impressed some fans. Most of the fighters, who are expected to perform are local and people have said that the card lacks glamour. Probably one of the most criticized matchups is Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington. Warrington on the other hand, having been participating in the last two fights and has performed dismally is set to fight Cacace for the IBF super featherweight title. Some think that Warrington has no right for the title shot because of his recent performances and wondered why he is present on that card.
In Conclusion
Anthony Joshua joining forces with Dubois may culminate in one of the biggest nights in sports history if they host it at Wembley Stadium, the fight is going to be very significant for both competitors. Although Anthony Joshua would enter the fight as a heavy favorite, Dubois has everything needed to give him the fight of his life. But recently the quality of the undercard has become questionable or unsatisfactory to some of the fans as you can see all eyes will shift to Wembley on the upcoming September 21st to see how this event takes twist.
