DANIEL DUBOIS vs ANTHONY JOSHUA
IBF Heavyweight Title Fight:
Daniel Dubois, fighting out of Greenwich in London is a man who has built a solid professional record for himself currently sitting with 21 wins and just 2 losses. Of his 21 wins, 20 have been by KO leaving him on a knockout rate of 95%.
It has been just over a year since Dubois stepped in the ring with Oleksandr Usyk for the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO World Heavyweight Title as the massive underdog. He dropped Usyk to the canvas in the 8th round but it was called a low blow and thereafter Usyk dominated the fight.
Since then, Dubois has fought twice, picking up a TKO win in round 10 against Jarrell Miller in December last year. His most recent fight took place in June where he beat Filip Hrgovic in the 8th round to win the IBF Interim Title. This will be his first title defence of the IBF Heavyweight belt.
Anthony Joshua is a fighter from Watford in England, and he has an excellent record built up over the years. He currently sits on a career record of 28 wins and only 3 losses, with 25 of his wins being by knockout, giving him a knockout rate of 89.29%.
Joshua has lost twice by decision against Oleksandr Usyk and once by KO to Andy Ruiz Jr. in round 7 and he has been on good form of late. He has fought 4 times since his most recent loss and 3 of these fights have ended in stoppages, with just one going the distance against Jermaine Franklin. His most recent fight was against UFC star Francis Ngannou, where Joshua put up a dominant performance winning by KO in round 2.

Dubois – 4.50
Draw – 26.00
Joshua – 1.25
PREDICTION:
I believe that this clash will be action packed with many heavy blows thrown early on, but in the end I think Joshua had what it takes to weather Dubois’ early explosiveness and win by KO in round 7.
ANTHONY CACACE vs JOSH WARRINGTON
Anthony Cacace is a fighter from Belfast in Ireland who has been extremely successful across the span of his professional career. He has fought 23 times, winning 22 (8 by KO) and losing just 1 fight. He has been unstoppable since he lost his only fight back in 2017, and he sits on a 6-fight win streak and currently holds the IBF World Super-Featherweight Title.
Since getting the belt he has defended it twice, with his last fight being in May, where he beat Joe Cordina by 8th round stoppage.
Josh Warrington is a professional boxer from Leeds, Yorkshire who is known for his effective striking. He has stepped in the ring 35 times as a pro and he has won 31 bouts, lost 3 and drawn 1 so far. He has been on a decline in form over the past three and a half years and he has lost 3, drawn 1 and won 1 of his 5 fights since early 2021.
His most recent bout against Leigh Wood ended in defeat by KO back in October 2023. He has had a lengthy break and he will be hoping this will act as a reset of his form so he can get back on the winning side of things this weekend.

PREDICTION:
It is important to note that Cacace’s title will not be on the line in this weekend’s fight, however I believe both fighters will come out firing, but Cacace will be the last man standing in the end, winning by KO in round 8.
