Oleksandr Usyk Predicts Anthony Joshua Vs Daniel Dubois Clash
Unified boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has shared his prediction for the upcoming IBF heavyweight world title fight between British boxers Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
At 11 p.m. later tonight, September 21, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will clash at Wembley Stadium in London for an all-British heavyweight title bout.
Usyk, who voluntarily vacated the IBF belt for Dubois, expressed his belief that Joshua will emerge victorious against the 27-year-old.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Usyk said, “I think it’s AJ. I respect both of these guys, but I predict Anthony.”
He also emphasized the significance of developing the sport of boxing, saying, “It’s good. IBF did not take my belt, I gave my belt to Anthony Joshua and Dubois. Because for me, my sport of boxing must develop.”
Note that the winner of the bout between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will walk away with the IBF world title. The winner will also be entitled to challenge for the unification championship title against either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk in 2025.
Note that Fury and Usyk have a rematch on December 21 in Riyadh. Fury is looking forward to beating the Ukrainian heavyweight boxer after losing to him in May via a split decision.
