Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois could collide on September 21st at Wembley Stadium but former world champion, Tony Bellew doesn’t think it will last long.
Both of the British heavyweights have bounced back from defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua has won four in a row including knockouts of Robert Helenius and last time out Francis Ngannou.

Dubois, meanwhile, shocked many when he defeated Filip Hrgovic to line himself up for a clash with Joshua.

Looking ahead to the potential showdown, Tony Bellew was asked if Dubois possesses any attributes that could trouble Joshua.
Bellew speaking to Lucky Block Casino said: “Of course, he can punch.
“But AJ’s technically better than him, more fluid than him, quicker than him, hits harder than him
“Everything Dubois is good at, AJ is a bit better at. And he also has a defence.
“Dubois is good at front-foot pressure, powerful, with reasonable speed for someone his size.
“AJ’s a freak. AJ’s the best athlete the heavyweight division’s probably ever had as an athletic specimen.
“If you put AJ in a 100m race [against the other heavyweights], lifting weights, how far he can jump, how high he can jump – I promise you he’d win the lot.
“It’s just getting all that package put into one.
“As for AJ vs Dubois, I think if that fight gets made it’s over inside two rounds.
“I think he won’t miss him. As long as Joshua goes in with the same attitude that he went in with against Francis Ngannou, it’s over in two rounds.
“I don’t see any other outcome.”
