Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois fight preview: News, how to watch - ESPN

Anthony Joshua has the chance to become a three-time heavyweight world champion on Saturday when Daniel Dubois puts his IBF belt on the line at Wembley Stadium in London.

Dubois — who beat Filip Hrgović in June — was awarded the title after it was vacated by Oleksandr Usyk, who called it his «present» to Dubois and Joshua ahead of their fight.

The contest pits two fighters at different stages of their respective careers against each other, with the tantalising prospect of another title bout against Usyk or Tyson Fury looming.

Date: Saturday, Sept. 21. Ring walk set for 10:30 p.m. UK time.

Venue: Wembley Stadium

Titles: Daniel Dubois' IBF heavyweight world title

Tyler Denny vs. Hamzah Sheeraz for Denny's European middleweight title

Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington for Cacace's IBO junior lightweight world title

Joshua Buatsi vs. Willy Hutchinson for the vacant IBF interim light heavyweight title

Ishmael Davis vs. Josh Kelly, middleweight (non-title fight)

Mark Chamberlain vs. Josh Padley, lightweight (non-title fight)

The fight will be available to purchase on Sky Sports, TNT and DAZN in the UK and on DAZN in the U.S. Ring walk set for 10:30 p.m. UK time (5:30 p.m. ET).

ESPN will also have a live blog on the night.

As well as Dubois' IBF title, the winner will likely be in line to face either Fury or Usyk next year following their rematch on Dec. 21 in Riyadh.

Rumblings of a long-awaited clash between Joshua and Fury have grown louder in recent weeks, but he will be focused on Dubois first and foremost because the loser will once more be forced to claw their way back up the highly competitive heavyweight ranks.

Both Joshua and Dubois have already taken on the Ukrainian Usyk in title fights, with Joshua coming up short
