With unwavering will, Daniel Dubois intends to establish himself as a formidable heavyweight contender. The young British boxer has won the interim IBF world title with a resurgence after suffering losses to Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk. It all started on September 21 at Wembley Stadium when Dubois was upgraded to Full Champion after Usyk decided to vacate the crown. Dubois would face none other than Anthony Joshua in his maiden title defense.

Boxing fans can hardly contain their excitement for the imminent confrontation between Dubois and Joshua. Fighting at peak condition, both competitors step into the ring. Former unified heavyweight champion Joshua has won three of his last four fights by knockout after suffering consecutive losses to Usyk. Dubois, meanwhile, has been outstanding, defeating Fillip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller by stoppage.

For Dubois, this fight is a watershed point in his career. He would become the undisputed champion of the world and take his position at the head of the heavyweight division, where he faces a bevy of dangerous opponents, if he were to defeat Joshua.

Martin Bakole is one of the most formidable challengers waiting in the wings. After his recent stoppage triumph over highly-rated prospect Jared Anderson, the Congolese heavyweight has been creating headlines around the world of boxing. If Dubois were to challenge Bakole in a fight, his trainer Billy Nelson is certain that the result would be quick and clear.

I can assure you they won’t fight if Daniel defeats ‘AJ,’ so have him fight Martin Bakole instead, Nelson told Seconds Out. They have already decided to oppose Martin Bakole, according to Frank Warren yesterday. That is incorrect. An argument is not something he is willing to engage in. What Anderson accomplished will be hiss in no time at all if he does this. He’s just too good for him, and he’ll knock him out in six rounds.

 

Nelson’s audacious claims have only served to heighten the anticipation of what would be a titanic heavyweight showdown between Dubois and Bakole. Nevertheless, Dubois is still intent on achieving victory over Joshua, and his future moves will most certainly be dictated by the result of that bout.

Daniel Dubois would reach new heights in the heavyweight division if he were to defeat Anthony Joshua. It would be a career-defining moment. The road to greatness, however, is not without its obstacles. Fighters like Martin Bakole are eager to seize the kingdom if he wins, so he’ll be in for a rough ride.

Even though he is one of the most dreaded heavyweights in the industry, Bakole is determined to get even with Michael Hunter, whom he lost to once in his career. With his recent performances, though, many think Bakole will eventually get his chance to compete for the world crown.

Boxing fans are in for an exciting trip as the heavyweight class keeps getting hotter. The result of Dubois vs. Joshua could pave the way for further megafights down the road; its consequences will be far-reaching.

If Anthony Joshua loses against Daniel Dubois, will Joshua restore his divisional supremacy, or will Dubois prove his mettle? If Dubois comes out on top, would he accept Martin Bakole’s challenge or go in a different direction? As another seismic upheaval is about to occur in the heavyweight landscape, the answers will be disclosed soon enough.
