Israel Adesanya is backing Anthony Joshua to come out on top against Daniel Dubois.

On Saturday, Joshua will look to become a world champion for the third time when he challenges reigning IBF heavyweight titleholder, Daniel Dubois. More than 90,000 fans are expected to descend upon the iconic Wembley Stadium for one of the biggest boxing bouts of 2024.

Though he came up short in back-to-back bouts against Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua remains one of the division’s biggest names. Much of that has to do with his penchant for highlight-reel knockouts, like the one he handed former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in February.

The Watford, England native has bagged four straight victories since his last loss to Usyk, but a win over Dubois would undoubtedly be his biggest victory yet, assuming he can pull it off.

Adesanya drops 10k on Anthony Joshua to get the job done

One man who’s more than confident that Joshua will come out on top is two-time UFC middleweight titleholder Israel Adesanya who placed a $10,000 bet on ‘AJ’ to score a finish somewhere between the 10th and 12th rounds. If Joshua gets the job done, ‘The Last Stylebender’ will be 50k richer.

“This fight got beef…grab the @Stake sauce,” Adesanya wrote on X.

With the UFC taking a week off following its critically acclaimed event at Sphere in Las Vegas, all eyes will be on Dubois vs. Joshua. Helping matters is the fact that Riyadh Season organizer Turki Alalshikh is offering the event for just $19.99 through DAZN pay-per-view. Traditionally, a boxing bout of this level would normally run fight fans 3-4 times that amount.

Anthony Joshua may not have a world title around his waist, but he is without a doubt one of boxing’s biggest heavyweight stars.

On Saturday, September 21, the Watford, England native returns to the squared circle for a tough test when he challenges reigning IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois inside the legendary Wembley Stadium in London, England. Nearly 100,000 fans are expected to turn out to see Joshua throw hands with ‘Dynamite’ in one of the most anticipated headliners of the year.

Anthony Joshua feeling blessed to be back in the boxing spotlight

He’ll look to extend that streak to five and become a world titleholder for the third time in his illustrious career. But beyond that, Joshua aims to bring the once-celebrated division out of the dark ages and make it the sport’s premiere weight class

“It can happen in a variety of ways,” Joshua told ESPN. “I’m not depending on punch power; it takes a lot more to be a great fighter. I’ll break him down with my spirit. I showed Daniel and his whole team the respect they deserve through my training camp and that’s going to put me in good stead. I’m tough, so is he. May the best man win. Good luck to him and his team.

“One thing when first I started boxing is, I wanted to bring the heavyweight division back alive in the U.K. So well done to everyone here as well. What a blessing to be back again… we’re ready to rock and roll. I’m in supreme condition physically and mentally. I’ve been watching some of the old fights as well to remind myself what I’m capable of” (h/t MMA Mania).

Overall, Joshua is 28-3 in his professional boxing career with 25 of his wins coming by way of knockout.
