Anthony Joshua will take on Daniel Dubois in front of a post-war British record 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Dubois will put his IBF world heavyweight title on the line when he takes on the former Team GB fighter. Joshua has rebuilt and worked his way back to the mandatory challenger position following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk two years ago.
Joshua has fought at Wembley three times before, while this will be Dubois first fight at the home of English football. The fight will be the first time Joshua will have fought in the UK since he beat Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena back in August 2023.
Dubois was elevated to world champion in June when Usyk vacated one of the belts he successfully defended against Tyson Fury in May to become the undisputed champion. There is also a stacked undercard to enjoy including Tyler Denny vs Hamzah Sheeraz for the European middleweight title.
