Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois: Tony Bellew makes his prediction
Watch Canelo vs. Berlanga September 14 on DAZN
Former world champion Tony Bellew has backed Anthony Joshua for an easy win over Daniel Dubois.
Joshua fights for Dubois’ IBF heavyweight belt on September 21 at Wembley Stadium, live on DAZN, after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt to allow Dubois to move up.
The all-British fight will be one of the biggest of the year, and many people see it being a relatively even contest.
Joshua however has more experience and is a two-time world champion already, and with three consecutive victories to his name, Bellew told coinpoker.com that Joshua would make light work of his opponent.
He said: “I think Anthony Joshua knocks Daniel Dubois out inside three rounds.
“Everything that Daniel Dubois does well, Anthony Joshua does better. Daniel Dubois is a strong puncher, he's heavy handed but Anthony Joshua is stronger and faster. He got hit with 45 right hands in four rounds against Filip Hrgovic.
“He'll get hit with three against Anthony Joshua and he'll wake up in an ambulance. Anthony Joshua has dynamite in his gloves.
“Don't get me wrong, Daniel Dubois is a puncher too, so he does have a puncher's chance, but I rate it at 70-30, 80-20 in Joshua's favor.”
