- What: Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois heavyweight boxing fight
- Where: Wembley Stadium in London, England
- When: Saturday, September 21 at 3pm ET
- How to watch: DAZN and PPV
People all over the globe have been counting down the days for the next big-time fight to arrive in the boxing ring. Thankfully, the long wait is over. That's because on Saturday, two of the best heavyweights on the planet are going to be ready to rock and throw some haymakers. With that said, Anthony Joshua is a huge favorite over Daniel Dubois for their fight. Who will be able to come out on top.
Joshua is an absolute force with the gloves on and he's been tough to bring down whenever he's been in action. Entering this primetime fight, Joshua holds a record of 28-3. Joshua has only suffered losses to two fighters: Andy Ruiz Jr. and Oleksandr Usyk (twice). Dubois is trying to add another loss to his record, but Joshua is feeling pretty dang confident. If you ask Joshua, he'll be ready to put on a show in this one. He also doesn't feel like he's near the end of his career.
| Joshua vs. Dubois odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joshua to win | -450 | -450 | -450 |
| Dubois to win | +375 | +375 | +375 |
| Over 8.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 8.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
“Loads,” Joshua said in an interview with DAZN when asked about how much time he has left fighting. “It’s not the physical side; I’m strong as an Ox; I’m good. I’m fit, very fit. I’m pushing myself further. It’s just if I’m mentally hungry enough to do it, how long am I mentally ready to go into battle.”
According to the best sports betting sites, Joshua holds -450 boxing betting odds going up against Dubois. On the flip side of things, Dubois is a major underdog, holding +375 odds to post a win. The odds are stacked against Dubois and while we think he'll be able to make this an interesting scrap, we just don't see a way where he's able to be victorious. With that said, we're going with Joshua as our pick to win.

How many rounds will the Joshua-DuBois fight last?
A question that a lot of people have on their minds right now is how many rounds will the Joshua-Dubois fight last? While we do think that Joshua is going to cruise to a victory, we do anticipate Dubois making things tight. It's important to remember that Dubois is no slouch and he's known for his incredible power. While Joshua has tremendous defense, if Dubois lands a powerful punch on him, he could be in trouble.
Dubois enters this meeting with a 21-2 record. A wild 20 of his fights have led to stoppages, which shows you how dominant he can be. This is something that Joshua and his training team are 100 percent going to keep in mind for Saturday's huge event. With the over/under being set at 7.5 rounds per the top boxing betting sites, it will be interesting to see if this proves to be a long fight, or if Joshua is able to take care of business early on.

“I was down and now I’m coming back up," Dubois said in a recent interview. "There’s a deeper meaning to it than just me and AJ in the ring. Everything’s on the line. Who’s got the stronger will, who’s really conquered their demons and who’s really ready to move forward and I believe that’s me and I’m ready to go out there and show it."
On paper, yes, Joshua is the much better fighter and there's a good reason why he has the better odds. However, DuBois is also quite talented and he's going to make things difficult for Joshua. If he can survive the first four rounds, something tells us that he will have the potential to make things go the distance. A Joshua early-round win wouldn't be a shocker, but we're going to give DuBois some credit here and go with the over for rounds.
Anthony Cacace is expected to beat Josh Warrington in an undercard fight
Elsewhere, Anthony Cacace is expected to beat Josh Warrington in an undercard fight that plenty of boxing fans are excited about. Cacace and Warrington are set to face off before Joshua and Dubois take center stage and this feels like it's going to be intriguing from start to finish. Cacace is hoping to make a statement, while Warrington has an upset on his mind.
Per the oddsmakers, Cacace holds -240 odds, while Warrington has been set at +250.
