Recently, Eddie Hearn, the promoter of former three-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs), told the media that compared to IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs), his punches are sharper and much more precise. The two will face off on September 21 at Wembley Stadium in London, which is also the most significant match in September.
Eddie Hearn said, “On September 21, both boxers will let loose and engage in an intense battle. These two are both dangerous, some say it’s like a shootout. However, I think Joshua is more like a top-notch sniper, his punches are more accurate, and for Dubois, Joshua is simply too good. Anyone hit by Joshua’s powerful punches will be in trouble, and Joshua won’t stand in front of Dubois and trade blows like Filip Hrgović (17-1, 14 KOs). Joshua and Dubois are two dangerous heavyweight boxers, both are confident and at the peak of their careers. For Dubois, Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgović were the strongest opponents he has faced; anyone fighting Joshua or Dubois won’t have an easy time.”
Currently, Joshua is favored with odds of 1-4. Dubois’ chin isn’t very durable, his willpower isn’t strong enough, and his technique and speed don’t match up to Joshua’s. His only chance is to land a powerful punch that could seriously hurt Joshua.
