### Clash of Titans: Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois Confirmed – Winner to Face Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk
In a highly anticipated announcement, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are set to clash in a blockbuster showdown on September 21 at Wembley Stadium. This fight will not only determine the new IBF heavyweight champion but also set the stage for a potential bout with either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk, offering the chance to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The matchup promises to be one of the most exciting events in recent boxing history. It will be Joshua’s fourth fight at the iconic Wembley Stadium, while Dubois will make his debut under the famous arch.
Usyk’s decision to vacate the IBF title has paved the way for this epic encounter, adding even more significance to the already high-stakes fight. Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning champion, made the surprising decision to vacate the IBF title, gifting Joshua and Dubois the opportunity to fight for the coveted belt. “Anthony and Daniel, listen, I know the IBF title is important to you. Consider it my present to you. On September 21, guys,” Usyk announced, setting the stage for an electrifying contest. Dubois, the interim IBF champion, earned his title with a TKO victory over Filip Hrgovic earlier this month. His rise in the heavyweight division has been impressive, bouncing back from defeats to Joe Joyce and Usyk with significant wins over Jarrell Miller and Hrgovic. Joshua, a former unified heavyweight champion, is eager to reclaim his status after consecutive losses to Usyk and a brief hiatus from top-tier competition.
The winner of Joshua vs. Dubois will not only claim the IBF title but also earn the right to face the victor of Usyk vs. Fury II. Usyk and Fury are scheduled for a rematch on December 21 in Saudi Arabia, following Usyk’s historic win over Fury earlier this year, handing the British heavyweight his first career defeat. The Joshua vs. Dubois fight promises to be a grand spectacle, with major musical performances and family-friendly activities planned around Wembley Stadium as part of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season. Rap star Eminem is already set to perform at the WBA super welterweight title clash between Terrence Crawford and Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles, and a similar high-profile artist is expected to join the festivities at Wembley.
Boxing purists will also be treated to a stacked undercard, featuring the light-heavyweight interim title clash between Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson, as well as the IBF super-featherweight title fight between Anthony Cacace and Josh Warrington. With so much at stake, the Joshua vs. Dubois fight is set to be a defining moment in the heavyweight division. As both fighters prepare for this monumental clash, fans around the world eagerly anticipate an unforgettable night of boxing on September 21 at Wembley Stadium. This event not only promises thrilling action in the ring but also the potential to reshape the future landscape of heavyweight boxing.
