Anthony Joshua returns to London’s Wembley Stadium for the fourth time to face IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois on Saturday (DAZN PPV).
Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs), of Watford, England, is a two-time heavyweight champion. He won the IBF title against Charles Martin in 2016, became a three-belt unified champ when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in ESPN’s 2017 fight of the year and took the WBO championship from Joseph Parker in 2018.
Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs), of London, is a former IBF interim champ who was elevated to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt in June to pursue a rematch with Tyson Fury.
Also on the card, Joshua Buatsi takes on Willy Hutchinson in a 12-round bout for the vacant WBO interim light heavyweight title. Buatsi (18-0, 13 KOs), of Accra, Ghana, and now living in London, won 13 of his first 15 fights by stoppage but has gone the distance in his past three, including a dominant performance against Dan Azeez in February.
Hutchinson (18-1, 13 KOs), of Carstairs, Scotland, was rapidly climbing the U.K. boxing ladder until he suffered a defeat via fifth-round TKO to Lennox Clarke in March 2021. Hutchinson has recovered to win five consecutive fights.
