Anthony Joshua is looking to reclaim his position at the top of the heavyweight division as he prepares to face Daniel Dubois in a highly anticipated showdown at Wembley Stadium on September 21. The two heavyweights will battle for the IBF title, a coveted prize that was recently vacated by Oleksandr Usyk, who chose to pursue a rematch with Tyson Fury instead.

As the fight date approaches, Joshua has been putting in intense training sessions, and his recent posts on social media showcase the impressive shape he is in. In a video uploaded to his X/Twitter account, Joshua is seen delivering powerful punches during a pad session, captioned, “In an industry where respect is earned and not given.” The video quickly went viral, with fans expressing awe at the sheer power of Joshua’s punches.

One fan commented, “That hurt even through Twitter!” while another remarked, “Damn!! Those sound like pain.” A third follower wrote, “Great to see this. I almost feel the punches,” highlighting the impact of Joshua’s power even through the screen. The two-time world champion’s display of strength has clearly struck a chord with boxing fans, many of whom are eagerly anticipating his bout against Dubois.

Dubois, who was promoted from ‘interim’ to full world champion after Usyk vacated the title, will be making his first defense against Joshua. The bout promises to be a thrilling clash, with both fighters eager to prove themselves on the grand stage. Joshua, who is aiming to become a three-time heavyweight world champion, is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation for this fight, fully aware of the challenge that Dubois presents.

The fight is set to take place at Wembley Stadium, and it is already on track to break attendance records for British boxing. Currently, Tyson Fury’s bout against Dillian Whyte holds the record, with 94,000 fans in attendance. However, with 90,000 tickets already sold for Joshua vs. Dubois, and an additional 6,000 tickets set to go on sale, this fight could very well surpass that number.

The local authority has granted a special dispensation to extend the stadium’s capacity to 96,000, following a request from Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority’s chairman, HE Turki Alalshikh, in collaboration with promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. The additional tickets are expected to sell out quickly, as fans are eager to witness what could be one of the biggest nights in British boxing history.

With both fighters bringing their best to the ring, and the stakes higher than ever, the clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois is shaping up to be an unforgettable showdown. Fans are eagerly awaiting fight night, with many wondering if Joshua’s ‘scary power’ will be enough to reclaim the heavyweight crown or if Dubois will successfully defend his title and solidify his place at the top of the division.
