A real throwback in this heavyweight clash, as we see another boxing classic under the Wembley Arch, with Daniel Dubois defending his IBF belt against a man who knows a thing or two about winning at Wembley, Anthony Joshua.
Many saw Dubois as the heir to Joshua’s heavyweight throne and with a record of 20-2, he is certainly living up to hopes.
After his quick dismissal of MMA juggernaut Francis Ngannou back in March, Anthony Joshua now has his sights set on regaining the heavyweight belts once again.

Anthony Joshua v Daniel Dubois Best Bets & Predictions
👑 NAP: A Knockdown in any of Rounds 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12
📈
Odds: 1.53
- Both fighters have a tremendous knockout record spanning throughout their career.
- Joshua has 25 KOs in 31 fights, while Dubois has 20 knockouts in 23 fights.
- Betfair have 1+ knockdown priced as short as 2/9 at any point in the fight.
- Dubois has shown a tendency to dig deep in his most recent fights, with his last three going past the start of the 8th round.
Joshua is a heavily priced favourite here, and may well have to get Dubois out of there later in the fight if he is to win by KO. - Both of Dubois’ losses have come in the 9th and 10th rounds.
Joshua managed three knockdowns in just two rounds against Francis Ngannou, and given the step-up in competition here, a knockdown between rounds 7-12 seems a solid choice.
🥊 Level 1 Prediction: Joshua to Win by Dec/Tec Dec
📈
Odds: 6.00
- AJ is priced generously at 5/1 for him to take the victory via the judges’ scorecards.
- As mentioned before, Dubois has proven difficult to knockout in the early stages of fights.
- His shock loss to Joe Joyce came in the 10th round, while his loss to P4P #1 Oleksandr Usyk came in the 9th round.
- Despite his sensational KO record, three of Joshua’s last six fights have gone the distance, two of those decision losses to the aforementioned Usyk.
- Joshua is the more polished boxer here and with the IBF Champion Dubois making his first defence of the title, it could very well go the distance with AJ taking the spoils.
🥊 Level 2 Prediction: Anthony Joshua to Win in Round 8 and Daniel Dubois to be Knocked down in the 1st Minute of Round 8
📈
Odds: 26.0
- A longer odds value pick coming in at 25/1, we have Joshua to win in the 8th round, and Dubois to be knocked down in the first minute of the 8th.
- Even in victory, Dubois has shown a tendency to go longer in his more recent fights, with his last three going past the start of the 8th round.
- Dubois will have the bit between his teeth making his first IBF title defece since stepping up from interim champion, following Oleksandr Usyk’s vacation of the title.
- Dubois suffered a knockdown in the first minute of the 10th round during his first professional loss, which resulted in a shock defeat to Joe Joyce.
- If AJ is to get Dubois out of there by KO, don’t expect it to be in the early rounds.
- Round 8 seems a good value pick, especially at odds of 25/1.
