Joshua and Dubois

Eddie Hearn is confident that Anthony Joshua will become heavyweight champion for a third time when he faces Daniel Dubois. 

The pair will clash for the IBF title on September 21 with Wembley Stadium playing host to the all-British affair.

Joshua enters the bout in excellent form following four successive wins, including a brutal knockout of Francis Ngannou back in March. 

Dubois is another fighter with momentum heading into the contest, but Hearn believes his man can get the job done in style.

“If Dubois comes out like he did in the Hrgovic fight, Dubois could get flattened early. I think he’ll get flattened, but Dubois is dangerous,” said Hearn when speaking to DAZN.

“You don’t want to be trading with Daniel Dubois, [instead] you want accuracy, you want power, you want explosiveness, and you want to time him onto shots.”
