Dubois is making the first defence of his IBF heavyweight title after he was upgraded from the interim champion to full holder of the belt.
The Brits are set to collide at Wembley Stadium on September 21st and Tony Bellew has made a brutal prediction.

Speaking to Instant Casino the former cruiserweight world champion said: “There’s no way of dressing this up – he quit against Joe Joyce and he quit against Oleksandr Usyk as well. There’s no other way of getting around that but the fact that he’s been able to take them losses, take them Ls and come back, it speaks volumes.
“Going to Don Charles helped reset his mentality. So I give Don Charles all the credit in the world and I give Daniel Dubois all the credit in the world.”
“Daniel must think I don’t like him. I think he’s a lovely kid and I think he’s a vastly improved fighter. The only thing is that everything he’s good at, Anthony Joshua is better. I’ll be amazed if it gets to round three, I’ll be shocked if it gets past three rounds but if it does go past three then Daniel’s durability, endurance and fitness will really test Joshua. Make no mistake, Anthony Joshua is a better athlete, a better boxer, all that. In every department, he’s a little bit better.
“The only thing we are yet to see is, can he endure the punishment Daniel Dubois can? We haven’t seen that because no one’s been able to give that punishment out to Anthony Joshua without receiving something back. Daniel Dubois is going to be there in the firing line, he’s going to be there to be hit and I think Anthony Joshua will show him.”
