Anthony Joshua Responds After Tyson Fury Predicts Daniel Dubois Will Beat Him
As Wembley Stadium prepares to host the highly anticipated heavyweight clash this weekend, Anthony Joshua has delivered his response to Tyson Fury's prediction that Daniel Dubois will retain his IBF heavyweight title against him.
In a gripping all-British heavyweight showdown, Joshua is aiming to become boxing’s fifth three-time world champion in the division. The former unified champion faces Dubois, who recently won the IBF title by halting Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic. Despite Dubois' impressive form, Fury, his fellow heavyweight rival, has voiced confidence that Dubois will prevail.
Fury’s endorsement of Dubois’ chances came directly from an interview with Dubois' promoter, Frank Warren, who confirmed that both Fury and Warren believe Dubois will successfully defend his title. This prediction has added an extra layer of intrigue to the bout, with many questioning whether Joshua’s revamped style under trainer Ben Davison will be enough to counter Dubois’ power.
Joshua, however, appears unfazed by Fury’s prediction. In a candid interview with Sky Sports, he addressed the challenge head-on, stating, “Yeah, he is a good fighter is Dubois, so it is a 50/50. I think that certain people are going to back him and some are going to back me and I can’t take anything from it. I have just got to focus on myself and prove myself right.”
This fight marks a significant moment in Joshua’s career, especially after his recent transition to working with Davison, which has revitalized his performance and confidence. The former champion, who faced criticism following defeats to Oleksandr Usyk and underwhelming victories over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius, is now seen as a top contender once again.
As the fight week excitement builds, tonight’s undercard at Wembley Arena will feature Cameron Vuong, Chris Kongo, and Nathan Lugo, setting the stage for a thrilling main event. With a record-breaking attendance anticipated, all eyes will be on Joshua and Dubois as they prepare to settle their score in the ring.
