Anthony Joshua Vs. Daniel Dubois: Date, Time, And How To Watch For $20
by Brian Mazique · ForbesAnthony Joshua will attempt to become a three-time heavyweight world champion on Saturday, September 21, when he challenges IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
The event, boasting a solid undercard of fights, is expected to sell out the 96,000-seat stadium.
Here’s how you can watch it at home with a decreased price point, thanks to Turki Alalshikh’s attempt to make pay-per-view boxing less expensive for fans.
The Full Card for September 21 at Wembley Stadium
- Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois (IBF World Heavyweight Title)
- Tyler Denny vs. Hamzah Sheeraz (EBU European Middleweight Title)
- Joshua Buatsi vs. Willy Hutchinson (Interim WBO Light Heavyweight Title)
- Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington (Super Featherweight)
- Mark Chamberlain vs. Josh Padley (Lightweight)
- Josh Kelly vs. Ishmael Davis (Welterweight)
There are championship-level fights throughout this card, with high stakes everywhere.
Pay particular attention to the Joshua Buatsi vs. Willy Hutchinson fight, as the two have exchanged a few barbs, and the former told me during an exclusive interview that this is “an important fight.”
While it is for an interim title, the winner will be positioned to challenge for the undisputed crown, a high-profile fight with Anthony Yarde, or possibly a shot at Canelo Alvarez in 2025. There are mounds of opportunities.

Joshua’s Big Plans
If Joshua wins, he can challenge the rematch winner between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
In addition to continued generational wealth, Joshua would be on the cusp of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. Should Joshua succeed in this monumental task, it would not only cement his spot as one of the greatest heavyweights in history but also arguably the best of his era.
Joshua has two significant impediments in his way. The winner of the Fury-Usyk rematch will be one of the world’s best fighters, and Dubois is not coming to London to lay down.
Dubois’ Quest For Respect
One common thread when Dubois has spoken to the media about his fight with Joshua is respect.
He seems keen on earning Joshua’s respect, which suggests he believes his opponent does not already hold that for him. Perhaps this feeling of disrespect is present because Dubois didn’t win his title; he was awarded it after the belt was vacated when Usyk didn’t fight Filip Hrgovic before signing up for the Fury rematch.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, even said Dubois doesn’t deserve to be champion and feels Saturday’s fight should be for the vacant title. In any case, the winner will emerge as the champion, and their next step should be a challenge for the undisputed crown.
Be on the lookout for weigh-in and post-fight coverage on Friday and Saturday, respectively. On a weekend with no UFC event, AJ-Dubois will sit at the center of the stage in combat sports.
