Heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has publicly thrown his support behind fellow British boxer Daniel Dubois in his upcoming fight against Anthony Joshua. Fury, known for his outspoken nature and mind games, took a jab at Joshua by referring to him as having a “glass chin” and confidently predicted Dubois’ victory.

In a recent interview with iFL TV, Fury did not mince words when expressing his views on the highly anticipated match between Dubois and Joshua. “Anthony Joshua has a glass chin,” Fury declared. “He can’t take a punch, and Daniel Dubois is going to show him the door. Goodbye glass chin!”

Fury’s comments have added fuel to the fire of an already intense rivalry between Joshua and himself. Known for his psychological tactics, Fury’s endorsement of Dubois and his criticism of Joshua are seen as attempts to undermine Joshua’s confidence ahead of the fight.

The showdown between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois is set to take place on September 21, 2024, at Wembley. The bout, which has been dubbed the “Big Day,” is expected to be one of the biggest boxing events of the year. Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, will face a formidable opponent in Dubois, who is known for his knockout power and aggressive style.

Joshua, who has faced criticism for his perceived vulnerability to knockouts, particularly after his losses to Andy Ruiz Jr. and Oleksandr Usyk, will be looking to silence his critics and prove his resilience in the ring. Dubois, on the other hand, is eager to make a statement by defeating a high-profile opponent and solidifying his status as a top contender in the heavyweight division.

Promoter Eddie Hearn, who manages Joshua, responded to Fury’s comments by saying, “Tyson loves to talk, but the real test will be in the ring. AJ has faced some of the toughest opponents in the world and has proven himself time and again. This fight with Dubois will be no different.”

Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis also commented, “Joshua has the skills and the heart of a champion. Sure, he’s had some tough fights, but that’s what boxing is about. Dubois is a strong contender, but I wouldn’t count Joshua out.”

As the fight date approaches, both Joshua and Dubois are focused on their training camps. Joshua has been working on his defense and conditioning, aiming to avoid any mistakes that could lead to a knockout. Dubois, meanwhile, has been honing his power punches and strategy to exploit any weaknesses in Joshua’s defense.
