Get ready for a showdown at Wembley Stadium this Saturday. The former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is set to clash with IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in a match that's been eagerly anticipated by boxing fans.
On Thursday evening, Michael Benson reported that His Excellency Turki Alashikh stated that tickets to the event were sold out and that the crowd of 96,000 fans would break the British boxing record.
" I have never seen AJ so pumped for a fight. {He's} Nice and chilled. But he's actually talking about how badly he wants to win, which he never actually does." - Eddie Hearn told Derek Chisora during a Wednesday interview.
This is a career-defining fight for Anthony Joshua. A win against Dubious would make Anthony Joshua only the sixth-ever three-time heavyweight champion, joining the ranks of Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield, Michael Moorer, Lennox Lewis, and Vitali Klitschko.
Despite the enormity of the opportunity, Anthony Joshua appears remarkably composed. His calm and collected demeanor, even under such immense pressure, speaks volumes about his confidence and readiness. "Life goes on. Life continues. So I do not put too much pressure on the moment ahead of me. I live in the present. When that moment comes on Saturday, I will be present, and then we will move on to the next challenge. I do not want to overcomplicate the situation anymore." Anthony Joshua told Ariel Helwani on Friday.
In his way stands the future of the heavyweight division, 27-year-old IBF champion Daniel Dubious, who is 21-2 with 20 knockouts. This is a dangerous fight between two of the hardest punchers in the world.
"It could be the greatest night ever," Eddie Hearn emphatically stated in an interview on Friday evening with TNT Sports.
Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions, who promotes Daniel Dubious, feels the same way.
"Bombs away. That is what it is going to be. These two guys are going to throw bombs at each other, and you are going to see something extra special." Warren exclaimed in his TNT Sports Interview on Friday.
The most exciting part? The PPV for this event is $19.99 with a free 7-day subscription to DAZN, making it one of the most affordable PPVs in combat sports this year.
The upcoming heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium promises to be a historic event. Joshua aims to become a three-time champion while facing a formidable opponent in Dubois. With a sold-out crowd and high expectations from both fighters, this match is poised to be a significant moment in boxing history.
