Daniel Dubois says he plans to knock out Anthony Joshua, make a “idiot” of him, and rework him into an “outdated man” within the ring this Saturday evening at Wembley Stadium in London. The IBF heavyweight champion Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) states that he desires
Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) is actually able to be diminished to old-man standing. He turns 35 in October, and he hasn’t fought a reside opponent since his psychological breakdown in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2022.
Joshua would clearly choose to neglect that second as a result of it was one of many lowest factors in his 11-year profession.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has gassed him up, speaking about how he’s again and higher than he was when he first turned skilled in 2013. Hearn speaks about AJ as if he’s aged backward.
If Hearn really believed that, he wouldn’t have invested the final two years of Joshua’s profession, feeding him 4 consecutive tomato cans to offer him a pretend profession enhance.
If Dubois knocks him out, Hearn can be confronted with an not possible activity: attempting to rehabilitate Joshua’s picture within the public’s eyes. Hearn can’t feed Joshua one other 4 steaming piles of stuff to idiot the general public as a result of the slower ones will lastly catch on and perceive the sport.
The intense ones already see that Hearn has been attempting to tug the wool over their eyes, they usually’ve not been duped just like the others.
“I’ve bought to take it from him, flip him into an outdated man within the ring, and go on the market and rip it from him,” stated Daniel Dubois to DAZN Boxing, discussing his plans for Anthony Joshua this Saturday.
Joshua is already an older fighter, and followers would have seen that if Hearn hadn’t pulled him again from preventing world-class opposition after his second defeat in opposition to Usyk in 2022. AJ is 34 occurring 50, and he’s more likely to get came upon. Followers view Joshua as Frank Bruno 2.0, and he’s about to step in it on Saturday.
“I don’t suppose he’s the identical man,” stated Dubois when requested if he believes Joshua has bounced again and simply pretty much as good as he ever was after 4 consecutive wins. “Individuals are simply swayed on this sport. He fought an MMA man [Francis Ngannou], and he fought Wallin. His final opponent, that was his second skilled combat.”
Bodily, Joshua can’t be the identical fighter that turned professional in 2013. It doesn’t matter what Hearn says about Joshua being again to his pristine self from when he turned skilled after his controversial gold medal within the 2012 Olympics, he’s not that fighter anymore. He by no means can be once more. Joshua is sort of a dying star that has exhausted its hydrogen gasoline and is able to collapse.
“I goal to knock him out. I wish to make a idiot out of him by knocking him out,” stated Dubois.
If Dubois knocks Joshua out, the curtains can be pulled again to disclose AJ for what he actually is. He’s not the fighter that Hearn made him look with the 4 cans that he fed him, and it’s going to be fascinating to see all of the casuals in shock afterward. They’ll collectively say, ‘What occurred to Joshua? He bought outdated in a single day. This shouldn’t have occurred.’
Joshua was by no means pretty much as good as boxing followers thought he was, and all you must do is take a look at his fights in opposition to Wladimir Klitschko, Alexander Povetkin, Andy Ruiz Jr., and Dillian Whyte to see that he was flawed from the get-go.
“That’s his man. He’s carried his entire firm,” stated Dubois when instructed that Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, is already speaking about him preventing for the undisputed championship. “I’ve bought to interrupt these plans.”
