O/T Joshua v Dubois Sat 21st Sept.

[Brin]

Really looking forward to watching this tomorrow night. Seems an age since we last saw AJ box but it wasn't all that long ago.

Joshua will be aiming to become a three-time world champion while Dubois looks to retain the IBF title, which, he is yet to win officially in the ring. Dubois was upgraded from 'interim' to world champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the IBF belt.

All the hype is there, Dubois to snuff out AJ once and for all or AJ to announce him being a three times World Champion?

An expected humongous crowd of 96,000+ fans wanting to see this fight will be there, surely that must be the maximum allowed inside? Either way, there's a good undercard on starting at 16.30pm:
Anthony Cacace v Josh Warrington (IBF super-featherweight title)
Joshua Buatsi v Willy Hutchinson (WBO interim light-heavyweight title)
Ishmael Davis v Josh Kelly (light-middleweight)
Hamzah Sheeraz v Tyler Denny (European middleweight title)

After the last undercard fight Liam Gallagher will perform with strong rumours of Noel joining him on stage.

The Joshua v Dubois fight will be around 22.00pm.

Joshua boasts 25 knockouts in 28 wins and Dubois has stopped 20 in 21 victories. This is probably the closest you will get to a guaranteed knockout.

Current betting: Joshua 1/5 Draw 20/1 . Dubois 3/1

Let’s hope Joshua gets sparked out.

It really is a good undercard. Buatsi v Hutchinson looks a good contest, as does Cacace v Josh Warrington. Hamzah Sheeraz is always a good watch too.

As for the main event, I watched Dubois' last fight against Hrgovic and I thought both men had a dreadful defence. If Dubois fights anything like that against AJ (and I don't think he will) then he won't last long. Whether he does or not, I don't see him beating AJ.

I hope Dubois flattens him.

There's only men's tennis I can think of now a top physical sport where the old guard are making way for the younger brigade. Can't watch heavyweight boxing AJ & Tyson have had their day but there doesn't seem anyone to replace them.

Cracking fight on at the moment between Cacace v Josh Warrington. Have to say Cacace is looking on top and Josh is finding this fight very tough indeed.

Why would any boxer take this fight without any belt to be won, strange set up indeed.

Don't think i'd watch it if it was free, biggest con after Horse and Greyhound racing...................

[Brin]

Just as I thought Anthony Cacace wins on unanimous points 8-4. Warrington can't complain about that to be honest.

Next up....should be a good contest, Joshua Buatsi v Willy Hutchinson (WBO interim light-heavyweight title) although I don't think this will go all the way like the last one. I have Buatsi to win this one.

Love a good boxing night, man against man, I get some think it's fixed but, try getting battered for 12 rounds and tell me it's fixed!

Great to see Lennox Lewis giving is view, a great Champion.

Cracking fight this one. Hutchinson down in the 6th but he makes a great recovery to give it back to Buatsi in the next round.

Didn't see this coming

Round 9 Hutchinson down again but he survives.

Anyone watching this?
