The question of whether Daniel Dubois can beat Anthony Joshua is a resounding yes. In boxing, any fighter can emerge victorious on any given night. However, the more interesting query lies in Dubois’ actual chances of overcoming Joshua. When the two boxers collide in London this Saturday, it will be a clash between the current heavyweight champion and a two-time former heavyweight champion. While the possibility of a future battle for the undisputed heavyweight title looms, the stakes are high for both fighters – the loser may risk fading into obscurity compared to their pre-fight status.
Although Joshua is expected to be the favorite at Wembley Stadium, what are the odds of his fellow Brit Dubois causing an upset? Quite favorable, to be honest. Despite not enjoying the same level of fame or accolades as Joshua, Dubois is a skilled boxer. In a previous encounter with Oleksandr Usyk, a disputed knockdown was deemed a low blow, potentially impacting the fight’s outcome. Video evidence suggests otherwise, making a strong case for it being a legitimate body shot that floored Usyk. Given Usyk’s victories over Joshua, Dubois stands a real chance of creating a surprise. Dubois showcases speed, precision, and significant power, evident from his impressive knockout record.
Conversely, Joshua’s boxing journey is a tale of continuous success. He has both claimed and lost heavyweight titles, switched trainers, and bounced back stronger each time. While Dubois may possess the tools to defeat Joshua in London, the task ahead is undeniably challenging.
