Anthony Joshua Analysis

Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs), a former two-time heavyweight champion is on a mission to become a three-time ruler at heavyweight. After losing his belts to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and failing to regain them in the 2022 rematch, many wrote AJ off. But the 31-year-old has roared back with four straight wins.

Under the guidance of new trainers Ben Davison and Lee Wylie, a rejuvenated Joshua has looked better than ever. Stoppages of Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and former UFC king Francis Ngannou have rebuilt his confidence. Last time out, he broke down the tricky Otto Wallin, forcing him to quit after five rounds.

Joshua has evolved into a more patient and calculated fighter, focusing on skill rather than just aggression. His jab, footwork, and defense have improved significantly, though his power remains a key weapon.

To reclaim his titles, Joshua will likely keep Dubois at a distance, using sharp counters and powerful uppercuts when Dubois tries to get close. If he can frustrate Dubois and exploit his aggressive style, Joshua has a solid shot at becoming a three-time champ.

Daniel Dubois Analysis

IBF titleholder Daniel “Dynamite” Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) has been on a tear since suffering his lone pro defeats to Joe Joyce (2020) and Oleksandr Usyk (2023). The hard-hitting 27-year-old has bounced back with TKO wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic to establish himself as one of the division’s most dangerous punchers.

Dubois’ greatest strength is his knockout power, boasting a 95.2% KO ratio. He is a physically imposing fighter who pressures his opponents, cuts off the ring, and delivers heavy punches at close range.

However, question marks remain over Dubois’ defensive skills, punch resistance, and ability to adjust when his Plan A isn’t working. He was stopped by Joyce and dropped by Usyk and Kevin Lerena, showing vulnerability to both head and body shots.

To spring the upset and keep his title, Dubois needs to apply smart pressure, trap Joshua on the ropes, and unleash his devastating hooks. Roughhouse tactics on the inside might also help him take control. Dubois needs to make this fight a brutal battle of endurance.

Joshua vs Dubois Prediction

When two powerful punchers meet, anything can happen. Both Joshua and Dubois have the ability to end the fight with one punch, but Joshua’s experience and versatility give him an edge.

The fight will likely start cautiously as both fighters test each other. Dubois will try to land a big punch early, but Joshua’s movement and counters will frustrate him.

By the middle rounds, look for Joshua to have busted up Dubois and sapped some of his strength. AJ’s uppercuts and right hands will find the target more frequently. Barring a lucky punch from the fading champion, Joshua will systematically break him down and force a late stoppage.

The best bet is Joshua to win by TKO at -115 odds (DraftKings). For a riskier bet, consider Joshua to win in rounds 10-12 at +700 (BetMGM). His patience and precision should prove too much for Dubois.

Saturday Boxing Picks:

  • Joshua to win by TKO (-115 at DraftKings)
  • Joshua to win in Rounds 10-12 (+700 sprinkle bet at MGM)
