Anthony Joshua has his likelihood to grow to be world champion once more.
The British star challenges Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London, and each fighters efficiently made weight at Friday’s official weigh-ins. Joshua weighed in at 252.7 kilos, only a few kilos heavier than Dubois.
Joshua (28-3) enters Saturday’s contest on a four-fight win streak. He has bounced again impressively following a pair of title struggle losses to Oleksandr Usyk and now has his likelihood to regain the IBF title that he dropped to Usyk in 2021.
In his most up-to-date outing this previous March, Joshua defeated former UFC champion and present PFL fighter Francis Ngannou by way of highlight-reel knockout.
“I have a look at myself as a gladiator and I’m about to step into an enviornment tomorrow to carry out for the individuals who like to see blood, guts, and glory,” Joshua stated in his post-weigh-in interview. “I’m pumped and I’m able to carry out for the individuals.”
Dubois (21-2) scored an eighth-round TKO victory over the beforehand undefeated Filip Hrgovic this previous June to seize an interim IBF heavyweight championship. That very same month, Dubois was elevated to undisputed standing when Usyk vacated his share of the title.
