by · Wales Online

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are set to face off at Wembley in a heavyweight clash on Saturday evening.

'DDD' will be defending his IBF heavyweight championship when he squares off with boxing sensation AJ in the English capital, both men vying for undisputed glory with hopes of a shot at Oleksandr Usyk or Tyson Fury depending on the outcome of their upcoming rematch in December.

Dubois, 27, secured the interim IBF strap by defeating Filip Hrgovic in June, which was later upgraded to the full title when Usyk was stripped of his own belt. Joshua, on the other hand, has been without a title since losing his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles to Usyk in 2021, failing to reclaim them in their immediate rematch the following year.
