The boxing world is filled with excitement and is eagerly anticipating the ultimate heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. It is one of the most highly-awaited clashes that will see these two giants facing each other for the IBF title at Wembley Stadium on 21st September. Not only will this PPV mark the debut of Riyadh Season in the UK, but will also record one of the highest attendance for boxing as the home of the English national soccer team is expected to host 96,000 fans for this ultimate British showdown.

Fans and experts have made their bets on the winners, and every prediction is looking different. Amidst the chaos, the WBO Interim Heavyweight Champion and the man who once faced defeat at the hands of Anthony Joshua in 2018, Joseph Parker, laid out his prediction while talking about the upcoming clash.

Joseph Parker backs Anthony Joshua’s powerful right

Just a few days from fight night, Parker shared his opinion regarding the fight. He thinks that it will be an amazing fight and even his camp has divided opinions regarding the winner. “I feel like it is a very intriguing fight. It’s a very exciting fight and I feel like Joshua is going to win. George (Parker’s trainer) is backing Dubois. I feel like Joshua has looked very good in his last few fights,” stated the Kiwi boxer, highlighting the amazing 3 fight KO run that Anthony Joshua has been on.

Parker then revealed the biggest weakness of ‘Dynamite’ has that might cost him the match and raised questions on the latter’s defense. Parker stated, “Dubois as well, but I think Dubois takes a lot of right-hands. I think Joshua, with the power he possesses, is gonna take it out in the first 4-5 rounds.” The New Zealander made it clear that if Dubois does not work on his defense, AJ’s famous right is going to get to Dubois, after which chances of him making it out will be difficult.

But Dubois is not going to let AJ move freely in the ring, no matter what. This is his ultimate opportunity to make this division his own and there is still a slight chance that he can defeat Joshua.

Daniel Dubois’ ultimate chance

Without a doubt, AJ is the heavy favorite against his fellow compatriot going into the fight. The 6’6 heavyweight has been in effortless form and is finishing matches early. But Dubois has a chip on his shoulder and a desire to prove himself. The Greenwich resident won the IBF title without dethroning anyone and a win against AJ will solidify his claim at the top. At just 27 years old, he can be the next big thing in the heavyweight division with this win. And if we look at records, it won’t be a shock if Dubois can pull this win out of his pocket.

Most of the Anthony Joshua bouts follow the same pattern where the 34-year-old tries to finish the match in the early rounds. But he struggles massively when the fight drags on. All three losses of his career came after the 6th round and that is saying something. Dubois also likes to finish the fight early, but recently he has showcased that he can remain in the fight till the bitter end. So, if he can stop the early barrage of Joshua’s punches and drag the fight, we might see a new ruler in the Heavyweight division.
