Weren’t Shakur Stevenson‘s stocks hit after he last fought to a snoozefest? It doesn’t seem so. Things have worked incredibly well for him, as he makes a return to his home and tries to cling to the WBC title. What’s more? That’s not the only fight doing well on the business side of things, as the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight caught the fans’ imagination. What’s the result?

Both fights are doing well, as the fans are ready to flock in large numbers to watch the action up close. It seems the well-curated and stacked card of Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunyan, along with the opportunity to witness their homegrown boxing star put on a show, swayed the boxing fans. The Prudential Center in Newark opened its arms when ‘Sugar’ attempted to turn in a splendid performance for the fourth time there. And that’s not the only fight gaining traction.

‘AJ’ is filling the challenger’s boots as he steps up to fight for Dubois’ IBF title. Billed as the biggest fight in the UK, it has all the markings of an epic showdown. The fans’ curiosity to watch the two Brits exchange blows reflects the same. So, when the Boxing Kingdom disclosed the numbers for both fights, it was no surprise. The account, citing data from BoxingTixs, turned to their X-handle and noted, “90 000 Tickets sold for Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois. Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan selling well, with the gate now over $1M.”

Stevenson vs. Harutyunyan promised thick and fast action and put many rising hot prospects on display, such as Abdullah Mason, to top off the card. The fans were intrigued to know how they got the job done. On the other hand, London’s iconic Wembley Stadium will embrace the boxing wave on September 21, as they host Joshua vs. Dubois, a fight with all the markings of a PPV blockbuster. Despite being an early favorite, Joshua, 34, is not ready to overlook the IBF champion.

Anthony Joshua gives due credit to Daniel Dubois

If Joshua, at 28-3, had a career-altering 2023, Dubois also turned around his career last year. ‘Dynamite’ knocked out Jarrell Miller, followed by a dismantling job of Filip Hrgovic. Acknowledging Dubois’ brutal knockout power and skills, Joshua was not ready to brush him aside. The Watford native declared, “He’s a fighter. That’s what he does, he fights… He had a few tough nights. He had something like 20 good nights and two bad nights. And they label him with that brush.”

However, the fans will find out soon whether Dubois has already peaked as a boxer, where he can even hand a defeat to Joshua. Meanwhile, Joshua has the opportunity to become a three-time world champion, a dream he has been vocal about. Irrespective of the result, the fans are expecting a night worth remembering for years to come.
