The biggest fight in the U.K. is officially set, as in the main event Anthony Joshua squares off against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in London.
The bout between Joshua and Dubois is shaping up to be a great fight, especially with the added intrigue of rival promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren working together. Hearn promotes Joshua, while Warren handles Dubois, and their collaboration promises a lively buildup. Previously, Joshua has rejuvenated his career with victories over Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin, and a knockout of Francis Ngannou, showcasing his return to form as a formidable heavyweight.

Despite Usyk's recent triumph over Tyson Fury, Joshua's recent display of power sets a high bar. This fight is crucial for Joshua, as a victory could secure a bout for all the belts against the winner of the Usyk-Fury rematch scheduled for December in Saudi Arabia. Although Joshua is favored to win against Dubois, the fight poses risks if Joshua adopts a cautious approach, as seen in his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. and his fight against Jermaine Franklin.
Dubois, now elevated to full champion status by the IBF, is a formidable opponent with significant punching power. He recently stopped Filip Hrgovic and has impressively rebuilt his career after setbacks against Joe Joyce and Usyk. Joshua will need to exploit the openings Dubois showed in his fight against Hrgovic, particularly his vulnerability to right hands.

For Dubois to succeed, he will need to maintain a high tempo and pressure Joshua, limiting his chances to land powerful shots. If Joshua is overly cautious, Dubois could capitalize with his power punches.
In the co-main event, top middleweight prospect Hamzah Sheeraz (20-0, 16 KO) is set to make his second Riyadh Season appearance in three months against Tyler Denny (19-2-3, 1 KO), who recently upset Felix Cash by technical decision. While this may seem like a step down for Sheeraz, who is close to a title shot after defeating "Ammo" Williams, it’s a significant opportunity for Denny following his victory over Cash.
In the undercard, IBF super featherweight champion Anthony Cacace (22-1, 8 KO) has arranged a step-aside deal with mandatory challenger Eduardo Nunez. Cacace will instead make his first title defense against Josh Warrington (31-3-1, 8 KO). Warrington, who is 1-3-1 in his last five fights, hasn’t competed at 130 pounds in over a decade.
Joshua Buatsi (15-0, 13 KO) and Willy Hutchinson (18-1, 13 KO) have successfully reached an agreement for their IBF interim light heavyweight title fight. Hutchinson steps in for Anthony Yarde, who is currently in a promotional dispute with Frank Warren, following his career-best win over Craig Richards in Riyadh.
