Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois: Time and where to watch Nigerian born star fight in front of 100,000 at Wembley
Time and where to watch Nigerian-born star Anthony Joshua fight Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title at Wembley.
Joshua weighed in at eighteen stone during a formal weigh-in in Trafalgar Square, while Dubois registered a career-high seventeen stone and ten pounds.
Normally, the winner would weigh in first, but Joshua, a well-known figure, was so he was allowed to go second.
After Oleksandr Usyk vacated the IBF title, Dubois was raised from "interim" to world champion, and he wants to cement his status.
Anthony Joshua wants prayers
Joshua told the fans singing his praises, "I look at myself as a gladiator and I'm going to step into the arena tomorrow to perform for the people.
"I started late in boxing but it shows you can achieve anything. I'm not a warrior in the garden yet, I'm still on the battlefield."
"I want to thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin."
"If I can ask one favour, go home tonight and pray for my success tomorrow and that I become a three-time champion of the world."
Although many believed Dubois would weigh less, he actually weighed four pounds more than he did in his last fight, which ended in a stunning stoppage against Filip Hrgovic.
Joshua - who also weighed 18st for his catastrophic knockout of Francis Ngannou in March comes in with a lot of hype from the fans.
