Combat followers who both attend the September twenty first combat between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois (and a file 96,000 paid gate is about to shatter Wembley data) or tune in at residence are nearly sure to be handled to an enormous KO – whoever wins. Not too many individuals suppose 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 way 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 combat him (in a professional rematch, the 2 having boxed as amateurs at London 2012, with AJ successful 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 instructed BoxNation. “He’s hungry, he’s younger and he has the hearth in him. He had a extremely lovely 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 stay up for that combat and it might finish with a knockout. Joshua’s chin is all the time a query mark in my humble opinion. We’ll see what occurs.”
Whereas a Dubois win over Joshua wouldn’t fairly be “shock the world” materials, it could be an upset for positive, and a win over the previous two-time heavyweight champ would put Dubois, the defending IBF heavyweight champ, in an excellent place. Dubois has really 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) will probably be smack, bang in line for nothing however enormous fights. Possibly Dubois might combat Zhang sooner or later? Presently, Dubois is claimed to be present process intense coaching and prep, particularly engaged on his psychological power and focus. It might show to be a slugfest in three weeks, or perhaps the combat will probably be over inside a veritable flash.
Both approach, not many individuals suppose Joshua-Dubois goes anyplace close to the gap. If Zhang is true, although, will Dubois pull it off?
