Joshua Vs. Dubois Sold Out For Wembley Stadium

Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois event at Wembley Stadium in London is now sold out, with a record crowd of 96,000 for this Saturday, September 21st. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh revealed that the event had sold out on his social media page.

In an all-British clash, Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) will challenge Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) for his IBF heavyweight title in the headliner. Promoter Eddie Hearn hopes Joshua will emerge victorious because he plans to face Tyson Fury next.

Today’s final press conference was pretty tame, with the former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua and Dubois on their best behaviors.

“It’s the record; it’s 96,000, I think, at a time that British boxing needs a shot in the arm,” said Eddie Hearn. “We’re all very proud of the way he has carried himself since the Olympic gold medal.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Joshua and Dubois perform fighting in front of a massive crowd. This could work more in Dubois’ favor because he fights off adrenalin and is at his best when the noise is loud. In contrast, Joshua rapidly loses energy when fighting in front of a large crowd and lacks the stamina to fight hard without gassing.

Fans on social media are overwhelmingly picking Joshua to win, and many view the fight as a blowout. There will be a lot of unhappy boxing fans on Saturday if Dubois knocks out Joshua. The people who picked Joshua will wonder what went wrong, but if they had their heads on straight, they’d realize that he’s aged and is fighting a guy who is all wrong for him.

“Every fighter in the country today has benefited from the rise and the performances and, most importantly, the behavior of Anthony Joshua. He’s been a role model,” said Hearn.
