Joshua vs Dubois LIVE: Fight start time and undercard results as heavyweights clash at Wembley tonight

Follow live as Anthony Joshua challenges Daniel Dubois for the IBF belt, in front of a record crowd of 96,000

Guy Ritchie-directed trailer for Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois is released

Anthony Joshua will box Daniel Dubois in an all-British heavyweight title fight tonight, with a domestic-record crowd expected to fill out Wembley Stadium.

It is believed that 96,000 fans will be present to see Joshua challenge Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title, as “AJ” bids to become a three-time world champion.

The 34-year-old lost the unified belts to Oleksandr Usyk on points in 2021 and failed to regain them in a rematch in 2022, but he has since won four straight fights. That run consisted of a decision victory over Jermaine Franklin plus knockouts of Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and – most recently – UFC star Francis Ngannou in March.

Meanwhile, Dubois also failed to overcome Usyk, losing to the Ukrainian via stoppage last year, before Usyk became undisputed champion against Tyson Fury in May. Since then, however, Dubois has stopped Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, with his win over the latter bringing the interim IBF title. Dubois, 27, was then elevated to regular champion when Usyk vacated the official belt. And tonight’s winner at Wembley could get a shot at redemption against Usyk, if the unbeaten southpaw defeats Fury again in December.

Anthony Joshua reveals how ‘mouthy’ stranger in pub provoked Daniel Dubois row

Anthony Joshua does not take kindly to being disrespected. At least not anymore. The two-time world heavyweight champion has made that very clear in recent weeks, with the threat of severe repercussions should anyone dare to provoke him.

With a steely focus and deadly serious tone, Joshua vowed to put a chair across his rival Daniel Dubois’ face during a promotional event in June.

The British heavyweights square off in the ring on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium, with a record 96,000 fervent fans hungry for another glorious occasion in British boxing’s golden age – a period in which AJ himself has always been front and centre.
