AJ vs Dubois: Wembley Showdown on the Cards?

Anthony Joshua is plotting his return to the big stage, with talks underway for a potential September fight against fellow Brit Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.

This news comes after Joshua’s well-documented resurgence, having strung together four consecutive wins following his back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in the heavyweight title picture. The 34-year-old was notably present ringside in Saudi Arabia last weekend, witnessing Dubois’ dominant stoppage victory over Filip Hrgovic.

While the finer details remain in discussion, the bout’s significance lies in its potential to elevate to a world title fight. Dubois, now the IBF “interim” champion, could become the mandatory challenger for Usyk – assuming the Ukrainian retains his belt without being stripped in his upcoming rematch with Tyson Fury.

Joshua, already a two-time unified world champion, is undoubtedly hungry to reclaim his throne. A victory over Dubois, particularly with a world title on the line, would mark a significant step in that direction. Both fighters are riding momentum waves – Joshua with a string of stoppages and Dubois bouncing back from his own Usyk defeat with two impressive wins.

This potential clash at Wembley promises to be a riveting affair, with domestic bragging rights and heavyweight glory up for grabs.
