Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are set to clash at Wembley Stadium on September 21, drawing over 90,000 fans for a highly anticipated bout.

This fight will be for the vacant IBF heavyweight title, previously held by Oleksandr Usyk, who vacated it to focus on a rematch against Tyson Fury.

Dubois aims to legitimize his championship by defeating Joshua, motivated by a desire to earn respect he feels he lacks due to the controversial circumstances of his title win.

At 34, Joshua recognizes the stakes are high; he cannot afford another defeat, yet he remains calm and determined.

A victory for Joshua would enhance his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights, potentially marking him as the best of his era.

Conversely, a win for Dubois would signify a major shift in the heavyweight division, positioning him for lucrative future bouts against top contenders like Usyk or Fury.

Dubois, 27, brings a record of 21 wins and 2 losses, showcasing his punching power with 20 knockouts, while Joshua, with 28 wins and 3 losses, holds a height advantage.

Joshua has recently adopted a more aggressive fighting style, achieving notable stoppage victories against Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou.

Experts largely predict Joshua to win, with some suggesting he could achieve a knockout within three rounds.

The event is expected to sell out the 96,000-seat stadium and features a strong undercard, including fights with notable boxers like Mark Chamberlain and Liam Smith.

The fight is part of a broader trend, as Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund continues to finance major heavyweight boxing events, despite concerns over the country's human rights record.

Turki Alalshikh has emerged as a key figure in boxing, facilitating discussions among promoters to improve ranking systems and create significant matchups.
