Daniel Dubois is set to defend his IBF heavyweight title against fellow Briton Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in front of a crowd of 96,000 fans, in what is expected to be one of the biggest boxing events in British history. Despite not having dethroned anyone for the title, Dubois aims to prove himself by defeating Joshua in this highly anticipated fight.
The 27-year-old Dubois was awarded the belt after former champion Oleksandr Usyk relinquished it, leading to Dubois’ current reign as champion. With a nickname like “Dynamite,” Dubois is known for his hard-hitting style and is determined to make a statement by defeating Joshua and solidifying his legacy in the sport.
Despite facing challenges in his career, including a defeat by Joe Joyce in 2020 where he took a knee and suffered a serious eye injury, Dubois has bounced back with multiple wins, including two impressive knockout victories. With 20 of his 21 wins coming by way of knockout, Dubois has established himself as a powerful force in the heavyweight division.
Dubois looks to make his family proud, as his father raised 11 children in a household focused on sports and music. His younger sister, Caroline Dubois, is also a successful professional boxer. While there may be speculation about a sparring session between Dubois and Joshua in the past, Dubois remains focused on the present and is determined to show the world his capabilities in the ring.
As he gears up to face Joshua in this pivotal match, Dubois is prepared to prove any doubters wrong and showcase his skills to both the live audience and viewers tuning in via streaming services. With aspirations for a potential rematch with Usyk and a desire to leave his mark on the sport, Dubois is poised to make a significant impact in the world of boxing.
