Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois: where to watch boxing in London

This will be Joshua’s fourth attempt at the title, succeeding twice in the past when he was world champion from 2016 to 2019 and again from 2019 to 2021.

But in 2022, the IBF title was out of the question when Joshua lost to Oleksandr Usyk, who went on to defend his belt against Fury earlier this year to become the world’s first heavyweight champion in 24 years.

Daniel Dubois currently holds the IBF World Heavyweight belt, having been removed from the secondary belt earlier this year in June when Usyk vacated the title.

The fight promises a lot: Anthony Joshua is on his fourth win since Usyk lost two years ago, defeating Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou along the way, with Dubois most recently stopping Filip Hrgović in Riyadh to set up the fight.

The fight card starts at 4pm, and includes some star fights (Joshua Buatsi vs Willie Hutchinson for one WBO Interim light-heavyweight title, Anthony Cacace vs Josh Warrington for the other IBF super-featherweight title). But for the main event, the ring walk is scheduled for around 10pm.
