Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will clash for the vacant IBF heavyweight title on September 21st at Wembley Stadium in London.
Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt, paving the way for interim champion Dubois to be elevated to full champion status.
Both fighters are coming off winning streaks. Joshua, a two-time champion, has won his last four fights with three knockouts. Dubois has won his last two, including victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, which earned him the interim title.
This fight comes after Usyk’s request to keep the IBF belt for his upcoming December rematch against Tyson Fury was denied.
Dubois will be looking for revenge after a controversial loss to Usyk in their first encounter.
The winner will be in a prime position to challenge the victor of the Usyk-Fury rematch, making this an important fight for both boxers.
This marks a significant event for British boxing, with Wembley Stadium hosting its first major fight since Fury’s win in December 2022.
Joshua will be making his fourth appearance there, while Dubois will experience his first main event in a large stadium.
