Anthony Joshua fights at Wembley for the first time since December 2020 tonight as he does battle with younger Briton Daniel Dubois for the IBF world heavyweight belt.
Two-time unified heavyewight champion Joshua, 34, is looking for a victory to set up a long-awaited showdown with Tyson Fury, who faces Oleksandr Usyk in December.
He and Dubois, 27, will trade leather in front of a post-war British record crowd of 96,000 at Wembley this evening.
AJ was recently valued at £175million by the Sunday Times Rich List and with a £25m purse on offer tonight, can hit the £200m landmark with another victory at this iconic stadium.
Joshua said pre-fight: “This is my 13th world title fight. I’m completing a mission. After that, a championship belt comes home with me and everything else that comes with it. But no emotion. A job and a mission that needs to be completed.”
While Dubois warned AJ: “I aim to knock him out. That’s the programme. That’s the mindset, that’s the intention coming into this fight.
“I’m going to focus my whole life into destroying it and just being a good destroyer, a good conqueror. Don’t wait. Go out there. Smash him.”
