When the two square up in the ring on September 21, Anthony Joshua hopes to overthrow Daniel Dubois. At Wembley Stadium in London, England, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion will square off against another British fighter for the IBF championship in the main event.
Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs), who is now on a four-fight winning streak, is sure of his victory and hopes to win the world title once more. The Watford, England, native, 34, claimed he could win “in a variety of ways” and wasn’t just depending on his punching strength.
“It’s a blessing to be back again and to show my team and everyone that I’ve done the right things in camp,” Anthony Joshua declared during the last prefight news conference from Guild Hall in London. It feels nice to be back. I’m prepared to rumble and show everyone my strength.
“We’ll discover [what Dubois offers the ring].” “I’m not sure. Daniel is not me. I’m limited to concentrating on myself.
“Through fight camp, I treated Daniel and his team with the respect they deserve, and that will serve me well on Saturday.”
Both of us are difficult. May the victor be the finest man. I hope Daniel and his group have success.
“I believe I’ve succeeded in bringing back British heavyweight boxing, which is something I stated when I first started boxing.”On the rumors of a sparring match between Joshua and Dubois, Joshua remarked, “He cracked me with a great shot and it’s my chance to get him back on Saturday.” “I’m excited about it. After hundreds of rounds of sparring,
I have multiple means to win. I’m not reliant on my strength of blow. But to be a great boxer, you need much more than that. I’ll break him down with my spirit because I have a fighting spirit.
“Acclaim arrives later. On Sunday, I’ll be returning home, eating the same breakfast, loading the laundry into the laundry basket, and visiting the same neighborhood gym.
“I have competition to deal with on Saturday because I’m a competitive person.”
“You know what I mean, Dan? You should never let anyone take an inch because they’ll end up taking a mile.”
“I’ll feel like everyone else because the undercard will walk it, and many greats have walked it before.” I turn on and get ready the moment I go into the ring. I merely need to go to the place in order to do my work; I have no interest in the ringwalk. I’ll be prepared once I get into the ring. 110%.”I need to win this fight in order to legitimize myself.”Two-time world champion Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) puts his IBF title on the line. The forthcoming bout, according to the 27-year-old Londoner, is “a resurrection story” for him professionally.
“As long as he’s in my corner on fight night then I’ll be alright,” Daniel Dubois said when asked about a rumoured issue with his coach Don Charles who has been absent during fight week. “Everything is going well.”
“Everything’s gone well, training camp’s gone brilliant. Let’s go!”
