Daniel Dubois vs. Anthony Joshua live results: Updates, highlights, analysis as heavyweights vie for IBF title

Date:

British boxing star Anthony Joshua, who is coming off a second-round knockout of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in March, faces IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois at sold-out Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Joshua remains one of the biggest names in boxing and has won four consecutive bouts after a pair of losses to division king Oleksandr Usyk.

Dubois is fighting for his reputation as much as he is defending his title. Many observers feel Dubois quit in his fight with Joe Joyce in 2020, choosing not to continue after being dropped by a jab in the 10th round.

Dubois would go a long way to restoring his name with an excellent performance against Joshua, but the former IBF, IBO and WBO champion is no easy challenge.

We’ll learn a lot about both fighters today.

Live18 updates

  • Anthony Joshua is walking out to a Godfather theme/Jay Z mashup. Nice.

  • Dubois does indeed look confident. This could be fun.

  • And Daniel Dubois is walking out in what the commentator is calling the biggest event in Wembley history.

  • Bud Crawford and Devin Haney are in attendance, as they were just shown on the broadcast.

  • And just like that, the Liam show is done. Apparently he was done a few years ago.

  • Now the broadcast is showing a short film by Guy Ritchie. A bunch of boxers on this card are put in dire situations and appear dead — including Anthony Joshua — but come back to life to sing “Sweet Caroline.”

    Can’t make this stuff up

  • “Cigarettes & Alcohol” is up next, and those are likely contributing reasons why Liam doesn’t sound so great anymore.

    It’s been all cuts off Oasis’ debut album “Definitely Maybe” so far, and we’re definitely maybe not really enjoying this performance.

  • Here comes “Supersonic” from 1994. Liam doesn’t seem the least bit interested in singing well. This is art.

  • Wonder if this performance is perhaps giving Noel pause. Who we kidding? Nah.

  • Liam has just been introduced and is opening with “Rock n Roll Star” as 50-year-old alt fans everywhere rejoice. He doesn’t really sound great. At all.

  • Liam Gallagher is in the building! (Whew

  • Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois ring walk allegedly an hour away

    If you believe the scheduling, the main event is an hour away, but these DAZN cards can be a little long.

    We’ll see how things turn out, but everyone seems legit excited about Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher’s upcoming performance.
