‘This is what boxing needs’ – US fans rejoice as Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois PPV price is revealed

US fight fans are excited about finally getting a cheap pay-per-view boxing event.

According to PPV.com, fans in America can buy Anthony Joshua’s IBF heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois for just $19.99 on September 21

That’s a huge price cut. A week earlier on September 14, Canelo Alvarez vs Edgar Berlanga will cost fans $89.99 and UFC 306 will set ESPN+ subscribers back $69.99.

Boxing fans across the pond have become accustomed to extortionate PPV prices, and their delight was clear after learning about the bargain offer for Joshua vs Dubois.

One person tweeted: “I’m definitely gonna buy it now.”

Another said: “Wow! More than a fair deal and I bet the numbers will show ppl appreciate it.”

A third person commented: “A solid price might buy and not stream.”

Someone else wrote: “Wasn’t going to watch but for $20 bucks might as well.”

Lower-priced PPV events will become the norm if His Excellency Turki Alalshikh gets his way.

The chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority wants to to tackle illegal streaming and appease boxing fans around the world by reducing PPV prices.

“You mention the PPV, I think this is my next big fight and I want your advice also,” he told talkSPORT’s Jordan and White show on Monday morning.

“I dream of a PPV with a good price to make the fans happy and subscribe and get them to watch it legally.

“Usually when I see a high PPV, a lot of people go and watch the fight illegally and this is not healthy for boxing and the platform.

“What I will try to push is to have our Riyadh Season shows at less than £20 in England and less than $20 around the world…

“I would prefer to have one million fans subscribe and buy the PPV for £20 than less than 500,000 [for £40].

Alalshikh says his next big boxing event on October 12 will be even cheaper.

He added: “The card opening Riyadh Season in October [Beterbiev vs Bivol] I decide to sell it for £15 to the UK and $15 around the world.”

I’m Ready ‘I’m a king slayer and I’ve got to do that again’: Daniel Dubois ready to take out Anthony Joshua

Daniel Dubois sits down for a face to face conversation with upcoming opponent Anthony Joshua, along with their respective promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn, to talk about their upcoming IBF world title fight on September 21. Check out some excerpts of what the fighters had to say with the full video at the top.

Dubois on entering the prime of his career

“I was speaking about before, I was in a dark place and I was going through some stuff but I feel like I’ve been resurrected now. I’m in the light again and I’m ready to fight. He’s been the king for a while, he’s been the king for a long time in fact, but I feel like it’s my time and I’m a king slayer and I’ve got to do that again.”

Joshua on his matchup against Dubois

“All due respect, you don’t underestimate anyone but I do know boxing very well. All this stuff that we talk about, I study Daniel and I look at some of the things that he says, his characteristics, his boxing talent, his upbringing and so on — all of it’s irrelevant. Is he ready? Everything I tell you is irrelevant. He will see, September 21st.”

Joshua on the rumor of Dubois supposedly knocking him out in a past sparring session

“Everyone tries to underestimate me, using my name for clout and boost their career. But now Daniel’s got a chance to do it by fighting me. That’s the best way that he’ll prove himself, is by fighting me.”

Towards the end of the conversation things would get tense with Joshua taking offense to Dubois saying “If he wants to swing, let’s go now,” to which Joshua would ultimately get out of his seat and engage Dubois in some intimidation tactics.

All in the mind : Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois: Victory is all in the mind for the reigning IBF heavyweight world champion

Daniel Dubois will be meditating over, and visualising how, he plans to defeat Anthony Joshua when they meet at Wembley Stadium on September 21.

The IBF world heavyweight champion takes on the former unified king of the division in a blockbuster clash, live on Sky Sports Box Office, where the winner will be line to face the victor of the Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury rematch later this year.

“When I’m in training camp, I sharpen up my mind,” Dubois told Sky Sports. “I play out the fight over and over, and just meditation and just visualising.

“I do a lot of that, and the sparring helps. The camp atmosphere all helps as well.

“This fight sells itself, based off me and AJ and what we both bring – and what I bring especially.

“We’ll see as it goes on, but I’m going to be in camp, locked in and focused. I’ll have tunnel vision about getting that victory.”

September 21 will not be the first time Dubois and Joshua have shared a ring, with the duo having sparred together when the former was part of the Great Britain amateur squad.

There have been rumours Joshua was knocked down by his future opponent in one session, although the former champion has denied that.

Dubois insists he has no memories of those sessions either and even if he did, is adamant they would be of no relevance as he has come on so much as a boxer since then.

“Those spars were seven years ago, and I can’t remember a thing about them, to be honest,” Dubois said.

“I’m not here to spar him now, I’m here to fight him, so I’m thinking about that. I haven’t brought my headguard, that spar is in the past for me.

“At the time it was a great experience, but seven years on I’m a different fighter now with different experiences in the fight game.”

Daniel Dubois

Among those experiences are those big nights on boxing’s grand stages, such as stadium fights against Kevin Lerena and Usyk in Tottenham and Wroclaw respectively, not to mention the clashes with Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in Saudi Arabia.

He has tussled for titles too, beating Trevor Bryan in Miami to claim the WBA regular heavyweight crown two years ago and then take the IBF interim crown, later upgraded to full world champion status, in the bout with Hrgovic.

“Especially Saudi,” Dubois said, reflecting on what he has learnt from those big nights. “It was an amazing journey and I feel like it has empowered me to move on from here and get this next W.

“To go out there and the way we got the [WBA regular belt] with Don King in Miami was just a dream – it was a trip, it was good.

“It’s back in London, fighting again – I’ve missed it. It’s going to be a great night to have that feel, that energy and that buzz in the city.”

Having now compiled a 21-2 (20) record as a professional and holding a world title, Dubois has little to fear when he takes on Joshua in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley.

But he is adamant he will be able to utilise any fear there is on the night rather than let it get to him.

“You can never let that happen,” Dubois said. “Even if you are scared you’ve got to act brave!

“For a fighter, if you don’t have a bit of fear then you’re crazy. But fear is good and it’s my friend when I’m in the ring.”

Has No Doubt Who Wins ? Former Anthony Joshua Trainer Robert Garcia Has No Doubt Who Wins AJ vs Tyson Fury

Coach Robert Garcia has looked forward to an all-British banger between former charge Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

Garcia is a decorated coach who has worked with many world champions including Mikey Garcia, Nonito Donaire, Brandon Ríos and Marcos Maidana. He currently corners pound-for-pound star Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez.

Because of his many years of experience with talented fighters, he was brought in by Joshua after the Brit lost his first fight with Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and was looking to correct mistakes and exact revenge in the rematch in 2022.

It didn’t work out like that and Joshua again lost on points over 12 rounds, despite a more competitive showing. He separated from Garcia and linked up with Derrick James.

After a couple of fights with James, Joshua hooked up with former Fury coach Ben Davison, who oversaw his last stoppage wins over Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou and is now guiding him through camp ahead of his IBF world title shot with Daniel Dubois on September 21.

Should Joshua come through that, and if Fury wins his rematch with Usyk having lost their first fight for undisputed in May, the two British big men could come together in the ring next year.

Speaking to ESNEWS, Garcia was asked how he thinks his former fighter would fare against Fury should it happen, predicting a big finish.

“I think Joshua knocks him out.”

Although both winning would potentially set up an undisputed bout, Riyadh Season’s Turki Alalshikh has recently stated that he wants to make AJ-Fury regardless of ‘The Gypsy King’s result against Usyk in the rematch

plenty’ more fights for AJ before retirement Anthony Joshua’s boxing future takes major U-turn as Eddie Hearn says he now sees ‘plenty’ more fights for AJ before retirement‘

Eddie Hearn has changed his stance on Anthony Joshua’s future.

The Matchroom Boxing chief insisted earlier this year that AJ doesn’t have long left in the sport.

However, Hearn has made a major U-turn as Joshua gears up to face Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title on September 21.

Anthony Joshua himself gave an interview earlier this year in which he claimed he was entering his final couple of years in boxing – a position, Hearn had backed.

However, when asked how many fights the 34-year-old has left, Hearn told talkSPORT.com: “At the moment, plenty.

“Everything changes after every fight, but I think I’ve never seen him enjoy boxing so much.

“The preparation, the team. It’s simple but effective. I think he’s really found his rhythm with Ben [Davison] and the camp there.

“And I think if you look back after the Oleksandr Usyk fights you might have said, ‘How many more fights? Three? Five?’

“Well we’ve had four since then and now we’re saying five [more] still.
It’s always fight by fight.”

Providing Joshua comes out of his clash with Dubois unscathed, then HE Turki Alalshikh is targeting the long-awaited all-British showdown with Tyson Fury.

Joshua opens up as a 1/4 favourite to defeat ‘Triple D’ and become a three-time heavyweight champion.

“This is a very dangerous fight, but it’s a great fight,” he added.

“And as it gets closer I think people are starting to realise.

“People in boxing know what a great fight it is, but I think the general consensus is, ‘Oh, AJ’s a massive favourite.’

READ MORE : ‘He can’t hold it for a chance’ – Fans Predicts only one winner as Anthony Joshua…..

“I think he is a favourite, but if you look at people’s assessment within boxing.

“Obviously, they’re much more skewed towards it being a 50/50 than maybe the man on the street who doesn’t know a great deal about Dubois and the run that he’s on.

“I think they’re both in absolutely prime form but I do make Anthony the favourite in the fight.”

He recalled: “I never really had my eye on him, but I had Ambrose Mendy come onto me and say, ‘There’s this kid at GB.’

Devin Haney

“I spoke to the people at GB and they said he’s a really good young heavyweight.

“They phoned me up and said, ‘This is the deal that’s on offer from Queensberry, will you match it?’

“I said no because I’d hardly ever heard of him and it was a lot of money.

“That was when I first found out really and discussed Dubois at length.

“When I started out he looked really good and, I don’t kick myself, but I was like, ‘Oh, maybe he was worth the money.’

“Then obviously he got beat by Joe Joyce and it was like, ‘Wow, all that investment.’ But the bounce back has been really impressive.

‘He can’t hold it for a chance’ – Fans Predicts only one winner as Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois’ physiques compared ahead of heavyweight clash

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois look in sensational shape ahead of their heavyweight showdown.

Daniel Dubois and Joshua are set to do battle in a titanic tussle for the former’s IBF heavyweight title in a record-breaking event at Wembley Stadium on September 21.

The two powerful heavyweights have been known for being in elite shape for their fights, and it is no different as their domestic clash approaches.

Joshua was the first to post his huge physique, as he showed off huge arms and a ripped six-pack in a post on social media.

It was captioned: “Don’t worry about being popular. Worry about being the best in class.”

Dubois recently responded with his own topless photo showing off his own huge and ripped physique during a recent gym workout.

Fans were stunned with how the pair looked physically, with one writing: “They both look huge.”

Another was quick to back Joshua, writing: “That Dubois does not stand a chance. Joshua looks impressive.”

One wrote: “RIP Daniel Dubois.”

Other fans were not so sure, with one adding: “Starting to lean towards Dubois late mid-round stoppage.”

“I Can’t Go Against Him” Otto Wallin Predicts Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua After Facing Both

Otto Wallin has fought and lost to both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

The Swedish southpaw took Fury the distance, inflicting a cut so bad that there couldn’t have been many complaints if the referee had stopped it early. The Brit battled through bloodily, though, and took a unanimous decision on the scorecards. Post-fight he would split with trainer Ben Davison in favour of SugarHill Steward, who he has been with since.

In an interesting turn of events, Davison was the man Joshua chose for his corner earlier this year, their first together fight being Wallin. ‘AJ’ demolished him, landing significant blows to body and head before the Swede, who suffered a fractured nose, was retired by his corner after the fifth.

Speaking to Sun Sport after both bouts, Wallin confirmed that the tougher fight was against Joshua but still made Fury the favourite in an all-British heavyweight clash.

“I feel like Joshua is a very good fighter, very good power, very good counter puncher. I feel like he definitely has a shot with Fury. And you just never know what Tyson Fury shows up. I still have a hard time going against Tyson in that fight.

But, the fights if you compare it my fight against Joshua was a lot tougher than the one I had against Fury. That doesn’t mean everything but I give Joshua more of a chance than I did before. But I still would probably pick Fury as the favourite.”

Anthony joshua

There’s a chance the fight still happens after years of stumbling blocks and failed talks. Fury, who lost out on the chance at becoming undisputed when he was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk in May, will rematch the Ukrainian in December. Meanwhile, Joshua faces newly-elevated world champion Daniel Dubois on September 21.

Should they both win, the clash will be targeted for the first half of 2025

“It’s Not Even Close” Tyson Fury Names The Biggest Puncher He’s Ever Been In The Ring With.

Tyson Fury has been in the ring with some heavy hitters over his sixteen years a professional.

The ‘Gypsy King’ was largely dominant in the first portion of career, but hit the deck against Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham before scoring an early finish himself

A remarkable comeback to the sport after three years out saw him face Deontay Wilder for the WBC World Title, fighting to a controversial draw after surviving two knockdowns. Fury won the second by demolition and the third with another knockout although not before touching the canvas again.

His warm-up fight for an undisputed battle with Oleksandr Usyk was against former UFC heavyweight champion and world recorder holder for most powerful punch, Francis Ngannou. Although barely anyone gave the MMA fighter a chance going into the contest, he dropped Fury in third round and only just lost out by a split decision on the scorecards.

The came Usyk and, although the 6’9 Brit had periods of success in the fight, it was the Ukrainian that took the decision on the scorecards after a massive 10-8 round in the ninth when Fury looked out on his feet.

When asked by The Stomping Ground if Francis Ngannou hit harder than former-foe and notorious heavy hitter Wilder, ‘The Gypsy King’ claimed he wasn’t troubled by Ngannou’s power and that Wilder was ‘by a mile’ the biggest puncher he had ever been in the ring with.

READ MORE : “Dubois Shook Me To My Core When He Hit Me” Anthony Joshua…..

“Deontay, by far. Francis Ngannou is a big puncher but I wasn’t really troubled by any of his punches, it wasn’t like dynamite and every time he hit me I was wobbled or anything, it was just one shot to the back of the head and that was it. So Wilder is the biggest puncher I’ve ever been in the ring with by a mile.”

oleksandr usyk

Many say the damage did to Wilder over the course of the Fury trilogy changed him for good, and he currently seems to be wrestling with the idea of retirement after back-to-back losses against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. Should he hang up the gloves, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will do so with a record of 43 wins with 42 knockouts.

“He Can’t Afford To Do That” Johnny Nelson Delivers KO Verdict For Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois

Johnny Nelson has given his thoughts on the upcoming world heavyweight title clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

This all-British fight is a mouthwatering coming together of two big punchers. Both men will step into the ring on good form and on winning runs following losses to Oleksandr Usyk

Joshua has been on a four-fight winning streak since April last year having beaten Jermaine Franklin before then knocking out Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou, all of which seem to have helped him find his early career form.

Dubois meanwhile has also put together his two best wins. Firstly he managed to weather a storm from American Jarrell Miller last December to stop his man in the last few seconds of the 10th and final round, then repeated the trick against Fillip Hrgovic in June when he stopped him in eight after taking plenty of fire early on.

That performance has weighed on the mind of former world champion turned pundit Johnny Nelson who, speaking to Seconds Out, had a warning for Dubois ahead of the defence of his IBF title at Wembley in September.

READ MORE : “I Will Not Hide It” Usyk Rates The Power Of Anthony Joshua And Tyson……

“Daniel Dubois needs to not get hit as often. He showed tremendous heart [in his last fight], he showed steely determination but he also showed he could be hit and you can’t afford to get hit that often by Anthony Joshua. That’s not hearsay, that’s fact. And if he gets hit that often by Anthony Joshua he’s getting knocked out.

He’s got to put him under pressure, fight at an unorthodox pace and rhythm and he’s got to put it on him, ’cause if he gives him that space, that distance, ‘AJ’ will knock him out.”

Should Joshua come through, he has been called out to have a huge fight with Martin Bakole in Africa but is more likely to target the winner of the Usyk-Tyson Fury rematch in December

“I Will Not Hide It” Usyk Rates The Power Of Anthony Joshua And Tyson Fury After Beating Both

Oleksandr Usyk has beaten five Brits in the last six years, the most notable being Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

After knocking out Tony Bellew in his last cruiserweight fight, the Ukrainian moved up to heavyweight in the hope of becoming undisputed in a second division

He beat Derek Chisora before taking the unified titles from Joshua via unanimous decision and keeping hold of them in the rematch with a split decision.

A stoppage of Daniel Dubois served as his second defence before he scored another split decision win against Fury in their long-awaited undisputed clash.

Speaking at a press conference in his home country following the Joshua bout, Usyk said that one of Joshua’s punches ‘sent him to Elon Musk’ for a while before his fighting focus was re-established.

“There were quite tangible blows. You can see it on my face too. There was a cut when we hit our heads. Then a light blow from his jab broke an eyebrow, which was flooding my right eye with blood.

“I will not hide that there were very sensitive blows to the chin, to the stomach, which sent me to Elon Musk for a while, but I quickly returned. In battle, adrenaline and emotions are so overwhelming that you feel it after the battle – pain, dizziness and everything else. In the ring, you are very focused on your actions.”

Joshua would typically be recognised as the bigger puncher when discussed with Fury, but speaking to the 3 Knockdown Rule podcast Usyk held ‘The Gypsy King’s power in high regard, too – particularly one uppercut.

” I got uppercut you know, it’s like very pain. Hard pain. I feel maybe 10 seconds I say ‘hey, God, thank you, help me.’ I say to myself ‘hey Alex, move, move. If you stop, he’ll kill you.’”

His manager Egis Klimas then added what Usyk said to him about the uppercut after the fight.

oleksandr usyk

“It was such a big pain I can explain only one thing, it felt like my tooth came out.”

What the Ukrainian felt was an old dental implant being impacted rather than the broken jaw Fury had claimed to have inflicted. After taking the best shots from Joshua, Dubois and Fury, Usyk still maintains that it was Chisora who hit him hardest
