Joshua and Dubois Compete for IBF Title

Anthony Joshua will face Daniel Dubois for the IBF world heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium, with Joshua aiming for a convincing victory after four consecutive wins, including a knockout against Francis Ngannou. Both fighters have impressive knockout records, suggesting a high likelihood of a stoppage, although if the fight goes the full 12 rounds, the outcome will be determined by three judges scoring each round out of ten. Former judge Ian John-Lewis provided insights on the scoring process, emphasizing that judges do not retain scores from previous rounds. Joshua, seeking to reclaim his title and become a three-time champion, is the favorite, with a supercomputer predicting an 80% chance of him winning, primarily by knockout. Both boxers are set for significant financial rewards, with Joshua reportedly guaranteed £6 million and Dubois £3.5 million. The match is significant for both fighters as they look to position themselves for a potential showdown with the winner of Usyk vs. Fury II.
