Battle followers who both attend the September twenty first struggle between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois (and a document 96,000 paid gate is ready to shatter Wembley information) or tune in at dwelling are nearly sure to be handled to a giant KO – whoever wins. Not too many individuals assume this all-British battle of punchers will go the gap. Joshua, 28-3(25), is coming off a destruct and destroy job on Francis Ngannoul, whereas Dubois, 21-2(20), is coming off a career-best win, a stoppage win over Filip Hrgovic.
AJ, the much more skilled fighter of the 2, is the favourite to win on the evening, however “DDD” has his supporters. Certainly one of these folks is heavyweight contender Zhilei Zhang. Zhang, who feels Joshua is reluctant, even scared to struggle him (in a professional rematch, the 2 having boxed as amateurs at London 2012, with AJ profitable in factors), says Dubois will “shock the world” by upsetting Joshua later this month.
“I personally favor Daniel Dubois to tug this off as a result of he’s on the surge,” Zhang advised BoxNation. “He’s hungry, he’s younger and he has the hearth in him. He had a extremely stunning knockout victory over Filip Hrgovic final time so I actually have my religion within the underdog. We are actually three weeks away and I consider he’ll shock the world. I look ahead to that struggle and it could finish with a knockout. Joshua’s chin is at all times a query mark in my humble opinion. We are going to see what occurs.”
Whereas a Dubois win over Joshua wouldn’t fairly be “shock the world” materials, it could be an upset for certain, and a win over the previous two-time heavyweight champ would put Dubois, the defending IBF heavyweight champ, in an excellent place. Dubois has truly stated that he goals to beat Joshua after which “reign for a very long time.”
If Dubois can defeat AJ, the 26 yr previous (Dubois turns 27 this week) shall be smack, bang in line for nothing however large fights. Possibly Dubois may struggle Zhang sooner or later? At the moment, Dubois is claimed to be present process intense coaching and prep, particularly engaged on his psychological energy and focus. It may show to be a slugfest in three weeks, or possibly the struggle shall be over inside a veritable flash.
Both manner, not many individuals assume Joshua-Dubois goes anyplace close to the gap. If Zhang is correct, although, will Dubois pull it off?
