IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois is assured heading into his protection in opposition to Anthony Joshua of their introduced combat on September twenty first at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) views Joshua’s advancing age as one thing he can exploit on this combat. Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) turns 35 in October, and Dubois feels he’s not the fighter he as soon as was.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, maintains that he’s higher now than ever, however that’s troublesome to imagine. Hearn has matched Joshua properly, successfully making use of cosmetics to disguise his age.
The 26-year-old Dubois goes to push Joshua, push him tougher than his outdated physique can deal with, and cease him.
Focusing on Joshua’s Age and Vulnerability
“His greatest days are behind him, however I’ve bought to show him into an outdated man within the ring. I’ve bought to place stress on him and unleash every thing I’ve bought on him,” stated Daniel Dubois to BoxNation about Anthony Joshua, who turns 35 on October fifteenth, one month after their combat on September twenty first.
He isn’t the fighter who turned skilled in 2013. That model of Joshua is lengthy gone and won’t return, irrespective of what number of Otto Wallins his promoter Hearn sticks him in with.
Joshua appeared his age in his two fights in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022. These fights have been two to 3 years in the past, and he’s not fought anybody good since. It was sensible of Hearn to tug Joshua again from preventing top-tier opposition, but it surely’s stunning that he felt the necessity to match him in opposition to 4 cans.
“Oh yeah,” stated Dubois when requested if he plans on unleashing hell on Joshua. “Turn into the shining mild. Go into the sunshine and do what I do know I can do. Now, I’m again the place we needs to be.
Dubois’ Confidence from Hrgovic Combat
“I took his greatest pictures. He’s a clean operator. Don’t get me incorrect. He’s the boogeyman of the division,” stated Dubois about Filip Hrgovic. “We went in there targeted. No retreat and no give up. They bounced off of me.
“A brand new man. I resurrected my profession. I might have liked to have gained it within the ring after my final combat, however it’s what it’s,” stated Dubois about resurrecting his profession together with his latest two wins and being elevated from IBF interim to full champion this week.
“I’m not right here to mess about. I’m going to take him out, put him to sleep, and go on the market and fulfill what I do know I can do and what’s in me,” stated Dubois about Joshua.
