Daniel Dubois Tips Scales for Anthony Joshua Bout, Leaving Fans Stunned: "Never Seen Him Like This"

None

Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua stepped on the scales in Trafalgar Square, getting ready for their big fight on Saturday. They'll battle for the IBF Heavyweight World Championship at Wembley Stadium in front of 96,000 fans.

Dubois surprised everyone by weighing in at 248 pounds. It's the heaviest he's ever been for a fight. The commentary team couldn't believe it. He looked slimmer during fight week, and he was only 245 pounds in his last fight.

Joshua tipped the scales at 252 pounds, almost the same as his last fight when he weighed 252.4.

At 27 years old, Dubois stands 6'5" tall with a 78-inch reach. He's won 21 fights, with 20 knockouts, and lost twice. People think he could be the future of heavyweight boxing. He's beaten some tough guys lately, including Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, who were both undefeated.

Joshua, or "AJ" as fans call him, is 34 years old, 6'6" tall, with an 82-inch reach. He's fought 31 times, winning 28 with 25 knockouts, and losing 3. He's been on a good run lately, beating Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou.

This fight is a big deal for Joshua. If he wins, he'll be the sixth boxer ever to become a three-time heavyweight champion. Only legends like Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield have done that before.

Both fighters hit hard. Between them, they've knocked out 45 opponents. But they've both been stopped inside the distance in their losses, so anything could happen.

The boxers have been busy this week with open workouts, press conferences, and talking to the media. Now, with the weigh-in done, they're ready for the big night.

"This is going to be an all-British heavyweight world title fight in front of a record 96,000 fans at the national stadium,"
said a spokesperson for the event. It's set to be the biggest crowd ever for a British heavyweight title fight.
