Anthony Joshua WILL attend Daniel Dubois vs Filip Hrgovic the fight ‘whole world would love to see’: Date, UK start time, undercard and how to follow
ANTHONY JOSHUA will attend Daniel Dubois’ fight with Filip Hrgovic as part of a night of scouting.
Dubois faces Hrgovic on Saturday night as part of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren’s series of 5v5 matchups.
Also on the card is Deontay Wilder’s return against Zhilei Zhang, which AJ will too have an eye on.
Joshua was invited as a ringside guest to watch Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed title win over Tyson Fury earlier in May.
But with his next opponent likely in action over the weekend, AJ has taken it upon himself to get a closer look.
Eddie Hearn told Queensberry Promotions: “AJ is coming this week and this is really off his own back.
“He was invited to Fury-Usyk and obviously it’s a massive fight. But he loves this concept and knows a lot of the fighters on the card.
“The frontrunner to fight AJ next is the winner of Hrgovic and Dubois and likely to be for the world title.
“But at the same time, if Deontay Wilder comes and looks sensational maybe it reignites Joshua against Wilder.”
Usyk faced a fight to keep hold of his IBF belt due to being unable to face mandatory challenger Hrgovic, 31, as he is contracted to rematch Fury.
