On Wednesday, June 26, the first press conference between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois took place, culminating in a staredown.

The fight between Joshua and Dubois is scheduled for September 21 at Wembley Stadium.

According to promoter Eddie Hearn, during a face-to-face joint interview, a confrontation occurred between the boxers.

It's worth noting that Daniel Dubois recently became the IBF heavyweight champion. This occurred after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the IBF heavyweight belt.

The Ukrainian boxer released a video message, stating that the belt is important for AJ and Dubois, so he is giving it to them as a gift. On September 21, they will fight to determine the new IBF heavyweight champion.

Earlier, the IBF stated that they had not received a request to sanction a fight between Joshua and Dubois.

Over the past 11 months, Joshua has been in excellent form, securing four decisive victories over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou.
