Daniel Dubois defends his IBF heavyweight title for the first time on September 21st against Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois was upgraded to full champion from interim champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.
But, former cruiserweight world champion, Tony Bellew, doesn’t believe he will be retaining the belt and expects a brutal ending to the fight with Joshua.

He told Coin Poker: “I think Anthony Joshua knocks Daniel Dubois out inside three rounds. Everything that Daniel Dubois does well, Anthony Joshua does better.
“Daniel Dubois is a strong puncher, he’s heavy handed but Anthony Joshua is stronger and faster. He got hit with 45 right hands in four rounds against Filip Hrgovic.
“He’ll get hit with three against Anthony Joshua and he’ll wake up in an ambulance. Anthony Joshua has dynamite in his gloves.
“Don’t get me wrong, Daniel Dubois is a puncher too, so he does have a puncher’s chance, but I rate it at 70-30, 80-20 in Joshua’s favour.”
How do you see the fight playing out? Let us know in the comments.
This is heavyweight boxing where one lucky punch can turn the table in a split second. Daniel Dubois should not be dismissed as an inconsequential entity in this bout, I am sure he is fully aware of the dangerous and destructive power of Anthony Joshua. If his team works out a smart game plan, DDD may do something surprising and commendable.
