A heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will be announced at a press conference on Wednesday and held on Sept. 21 at London’s Wembley Stadium, according to ESPN’s Mike Coppinger.
Joshua and Dubois will square off with the IBF heavyweight championship on the line after Oleksandr Usyk said Tuesday he was giving up the title. Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, confirmed to Boxing Scene’s Lance Pugmire that Usyk had officially relinquished the belt.
Dubois was the IBF interim champion and has been upgraded to full champ, per boxing reporter Dan Rafael, so the Joshua fight will be his first title defense.
