WILL DUBOIS DERAIL JOSHUA’S COMEBACK FIGHT?
Eddie Hearn has voiced concerns that Daniel Dubois may not handle the immense pressure of facing Anthony Joshua in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium on September 21st. With both fighters holding high stakes, Hearn wonders if Dubois’ game plan will unravel as the fight progresses. Joshua, carrying the weight of British boxing on his shoulders, cannot afford to lose this bout.
Dubois, the IBF heavyweight champion, will enter the ring as the underdog, but Hearn believes that fighting on such a massive stage may lead him to crumble under pressure. While Joshua has been in similar high-stress situations before, a loss to Dubois could spell disaster for his career. Hearn is counting on Dubois to fall apart mentally, but the same could happen to Joshua, as some feel his mental state has been shaky in recent years.
Hearn has also expressed concern about Joshua’s legacy if he loses to a fellow British fighter. Dubois has proven his ability to handle pressure in previous bouts, and if he fights the right way, he could shock the boxing world. Joshua's career has had its ups and downs, and another loss could mean the end of his time as a top contender. A knockout by Dubois, followed by a rematch loss, would be devastating for Joshua’s career.
While Hearn anticipates a tough fight for both men, he acknowledges that Dubois has shown resilience in recent bouts, having fought through tough challenges like Oleksandr Usyk. However, Hearn’s primary focus is on keeping Joshua on top, as his loss would not only affect his legacy but also impact the business side of Matchroom Boxing.
As the fight day approaches, Hearn is doing everything he can to psych out Dubois and give Joshua the edge. But if Joshua crumbles under pressure, it could be the end of his reign in the heavyweight division, and a new star in Dubois could rise.
