Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are getting ready for a big fight next month. The two British heavyweights will face each other at Wembley Stadium, and Dubois' IBF World Title will be on the line.

This fight's got a lot of people talking. Dubois just got his hands on the IBF belt after Oleksandr Usyk gave it up. For Joshua, it's a chance to become a three-time champion.

Both fighters have been on a roll lately. Joshua's won his last three fights, taking out Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou before the final bell. Dubois has been busy too, stopping Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic - both guys who hadn't lost before.

These two have something else in common - they've both fought Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua lost to him twice, going the distance both times. Dubois didn't last as long, with Usyk stopping him.

Prince Naseem Hamed, the former champion, thinks he knows how this fight will end. He told Pro Boxing Fans:

"I think AJ wins, to be honest. By KO."

Hamed's not alone in thinking this fight won't go all 12 rounds. With 45 knockouts between them, and both having been stopped before, a lot of people are expecting fireworks.

Frank Warren, one of the big names in boxing promotion, sees the fight a bit differently. He told the Express that he thinks it'll be a "battle of the jabs". Warren praised Dubois' jab, calling it "stellar".

Joshua's team has their own thoughts. They're worried Dubois can't take the kind of hits he did against Croatia's Hrgovic when he's facing a puncher like Joshua.

This fight's not just about next month. The winner could be in line for an even bigger fight. Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to have a rematch in December. Whoever wins between Joshua and Dubois might get a shot at becoming the undisputed champion early next year.
