Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois Betting Tips and Predictions
Is Deontay Wilder’s career over? And will Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois fight in September?

There were plenty of headlines written this past weekend in Saudi Arabia.
In the Queensbury vs Matchroom 5 vs 5 event in Riyadh, it was Frank Warren’s crop that ran out surprising 10-0 winners over the Essex man’s stable, dominating from first bell to last in five extremely entertaining fights.
There were some tight calls as well as upsets on the way, concluding in what could turn out to be the final fight of Deontay Wilder’s illustrious career.
The “Bronze Bomber” was stopped in five rounds by the heavy hands of China’s Zhilei Zhang, meaning that the Alabama fighter has now lost four of his last five contests.
It was assumed that the winner of Zhang vs Wilder would go onto fight Anthony Joshua on September 21st this year inside Wembley Stadium — a date proposed by Turki Alalshikh — but another upset victory during the 5 vs 5 may have altered those plans.
Daniel Dubois stopped the tough, durable and talented Croatian Filip Hrgovic in eight gruelling rounds, launching his name right back into contention in the heavyweight division.
“DDD” now has recent wins over Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller to his name, with just two losses to Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk blotting his copybook.
So how does a Joshua vs Dubois all-British fight look this autumn, and what are the top betting offers ahead of the event?
Anthony Joshua is 1/5 with Paddy Power to beat Daniel Dubois
Outside of Oleksandr Usyk, there is an argument to suggest that Anthony Joshua is the most in-form heavyweight at current.
He has walked through Francis Ngannou, Otto Wallin and Robert Helenius in his last three fights, returning to a spiteful, hard-hitting style that won him thousands of fans when he entered the pro game.
Joshua’s long-term goal is still to become a world champion again, and if Daniel Dubois is elevated to the IBF full title before September, then Joshua may get a massive opportunity to win back the first world title he won in 2016.
Joshua is only 34 — which isn’t old for a heavyweight — and lives the life of a healthy, active fighter.
His athleticism and ring IQ are what gives him the big edge over Dubois, seeing him open as a 1/5 FAV.
Daniel Dubois is 7/2 with Paddy Power to beat Anthony Joshua
Dubois is proof that the perception of a heavyweight can change literally overnight.
There were plenty of question marks hanging over the head of the 26-year-old Briton before the Filip Hrgovic fight, but one win later and “DDD” is once again a big contender in the division.
He has lost his two biggest fights to date, but with a durable chin and an explosive right hand, he’s a classic dangerous heavyweight akin to Frank Bruno in the 90s.
Dubois feet and defence will probably be what lets him down in a fight against someone with Joshua’s pedigree, explaining why he is opening as a 7/2 dog.
