Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are getting ready for a big fight at Wembley Stadium. The two heavyweights will face off for the IBF World Heavyweight Championship in front of 96,000 fans, which will break records.
Joshua, known as AJ, wants to win back a world title. If he does, he'll join a special group. Only five heavyweights have won a world title three times before. Muhammad Ali, Vitali Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, and Michael Moorer are the others who've done it.
Dubois got the IBF belt recently and will defend it for the first time. Both fighters have been knocked out before, and between them, they've knocked out 45 opponents. The fight might not last all 12 rounds. It could start slow or end quickly.
Former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs thinks Joshua will win by knockout. He shared his thoughts in an interview:
"It's gonna be a tough fight for a round or two, of course AJ has to be careful. I think it's gonna be a great fight for a couple rounds, who can establish the jab first – in this case, the jab wins the fight – and who can land that big right hand first. That's the person that's gonna win the fight."
Briggs believes Joshua has more experience and a better jab. He also thinks Joshua's right hand is straighter and more precise, while Dubois has a good overhand right. Joshua might be a bit faster too.
The fight will likely come down to who can control the jab and land their big right hand first. Dubois is known for being tough, but Joshua's experience might give him the edge.
Both fighters will need to be careful early on. The one who finds their rhythm first will have a big advantage. It's shaping up to be an exciting heavyweight clash with a lot on the line for both men.
