Joshua and Dubois clash in heavyweight title fight at Wembley – live
The trailer for the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight, directed by Guy Ritchie, has been released.
Tonight, Anthony Joshua is set to face Daniel Dubois in a highly anticipated all-British heavyweight championship match, and a record-breaking crowd of fans is expected to pack Wembley Stadium.
It's expected that 96,000 spectators will be in attendance for Joshua's fight against Dubois for the IBF heavyweight championship, as "AJ" aims to secure his third world title.
The 34-year-old fighter dropped his unified titles to Oleksandr Usyk by decision in 2021 and was unable to reclaim them in their rematch the following year. However, he has bounced back with four consecutive wins since then. This winning streak includes a decision win against Jermaine Franklin, as well as knockouts of Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and most recently, UFC star Francis Ngannou in March.
In the meantime, Dubois was unable to beat Usyk, getting stopped by the Ukrainian fighter last year. After that match, Usyk went on to claim the undisputed championship by defeating Tyson Fury in May. Since then, though, Dubois has achieved knockout victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, with his victory against Hrgovic earning him the interim IBF title.
Dubois, 27, became the official champion after Usyk gave up the title. The victor tonight at Wembley might have a chance for revenge against Usyk if the undefeated left-handed fighter manages to beat Fury again in December.
Stay tuned for real-time updates on the Joshua vs. Dubois fight and the undercard action right here.

Joshua Shares How Stranger Sparked Dubois Clash
Anthony Joshua has a low tolerance for disrespect nowadays. The two-time world heavyweight champion has been vocal about this in recent weeks, warning that there will be serious consequences for anyone who tries to challenge him.
The British heavyweights will clash in the ring this Saturday evening at Wembley Stadium, where an astonishing 96,000 passionate fans are eager for another spectacular event in the golden era of British boxing—a time when AJ has consistently been at the forefront.
Joshua takes a moment to clarify what triggered his reaction after Dubois exclaimed, “Let’s do it now.” He mentions that he had been at the pub the previous week.
He mentions, "Clearly, I'm not around as frequently anymore, with a new generation emerging. There was this young kid—well, I’m 34, and he was likely in his thirties—who thought he could talk to me a certain way. That made me realize... it's important to establish boundaries and not allow anyone to think they can talk to you however they want."
"In the pub, there are others watching how this person speaks to me. Forget about boxing; you know who I am and what I stand for, so don't even think about disrespecting me – it won't turn out well for you."

Joshua Vs Dubois Live: Kelly Vs Davis Fight
Kelly is really finding his rhythm right now and is delivering some amazing shots.
Davis is experiencing some success with his sporadic counterattacks, like the one he landed with less than 40 seconds remaining. However, a recurring problem throughout the fight is that he isn’t capitalizing on these opportunities as he should, missing chances to make a stronger impact.
Last round. Davis definitely needs a decisive victory to prevent Kelly from having his hand lifted in triumph.

Daniel Dubois Weighs In, But Joshua Holds Edge
Daniel Dubois weighed in at a personal best of 17 stone 10 pounds for his first title defense of the IBF world heavyweight championship against Anthony Joshua at Wembley this Saturday.
Dubois weighed in 3 pounds more than he did for his last win, where he secured an eighth-round stoppage due to cuts against Croatian fighter Filip Hrgovic in June. Meanwhile, Joshua came in at 4 pounds heavier, weighing 18 stones.
The weigh-in took place under the watchful eye of ring announcer Michael Buffer, drawing a large crowd to Trafalgar Square in London. However, the event lacked the usual fireworks between the British competitors.
