On September 21, 2024, Wembley Stadium will host one of the biggest heavyweight boxing matches of the year as Anthony Joshua faces Daniel Dubois for the IBF world heavyweight title. This all-British showdown marks Joshua’s attempt to reclaim a world title, while Dubois defends his recently acquired belt. The two fighters, both hailing from London, are expected to deliver a memorable fight under the famous Wembley arch.
Joshua, a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, has been on a comeback trail since losing his belts to Oleksandr Usyk. At 34, he is eager to return to the top of the division. Dubois, 27, stepped into the spotlight after his knockout victory over Filip Hrgovic, securing the IBF interim title. He was promoted to full champion when Usyk chose to pursue a fight with Tyson Fury.
The undercard features some exciting matchups, including Mark Chamberlain vs. Josh Padley in the lightweight division, Tyler Denny defending his European middleweight title against Hamzah Sheeraz, and Joshua Buatsi taking on Willy Hutchinson for the WBO interim light heavyweight title. Anthony Cacace also faces Josh Warrington in a non-title super featherweight bout.
The event kicks off at 7:00 PM UK time, with the main event ring walks expected around 10:00 PM. Boxing fans worldwide can watch live through Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN, promising a thrilling night of world-class boxing.
