Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois event is now set to possibly break the record for a boxing crowd at London’s Wembley Stadium for their September 21st event.
Capacity expansion granted
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh reports that his application for a crowd expansion at Wembley has been approved. This means that the Joshua-Dubois event could break the current record of 94K held by the Tyson Fury vs. Dullian Whyte meeting in April 2022 is set. Turki expects a crowd of 96K for the Joshua vs. Dubois meeting on September 21 will arrive.
If Joshua is knocked out in front of a record 96,000 crowd at Wembley, it will not be good for him or promoter Eddie Hearn. It’s supposed to be a walk in the park for 34-year-old former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs), who faces an inexperienced 26-year-old Dubois (21-2, 20). come. KOs), who lost to Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk.
What Hearn, naive fans and the oddsmakers failed to consider is the youth, strength and confidence Dubois now has. He is not the same fighter who lost to Joyce and Usyk.
In addition, Dubois should not have lost to Usyk because he knocked him out in the fifth round with a body blow, which the referee said was a low blow. So, Dubois’ true record is 22-1, 21 knockouts, and he lost to Joyce due to the eye injury he suffered. If Dubois were to fight Joyce now, he would quickly destroy him. It wouldn’t even be a fight.
It’s a shame that a better undercard wasn’t included in the main event as fans complained about the fighters on social media. A lot of them are guys who aren’t going anywhere and not high grade fighters that appeal to fans outside of the UK.
Joshua-Dubois submap
– Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington: Why in all good things is Warrington allowed to challenge Cacace for his IBF super featherweight title? Warrington has lost his last two fights, and he doesn’t rate a world title shot with that kind of humble record. Just on that alone, Warrington shouldn’t even be on the map.
– Joshua Buatsi vs. Willy Hutchinson:
– Liam Smith vs Josh Kelly
– Mark Chamberlain vs Josh Padley
– Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Tyler Denny
