Joshua (28-3) enters Saturday’s contest on a four-fight win streak. He has bounced back impressively following a pair of title fight losses to Oleksandr Usyk and now has his chance to regain the IBF title that he dropped to Usyk in 2021.
In his most recent outing this past March, Joshua defeated former UFC champion and current PFL fighter Francis Ngannou via highlight-reel knockout.
“I look at myself as a gladiator and I’m about to step into an arena tomorrow to perform for the people who love to see blood, guts, and glory,” Joshua said in his post-weigh-in interview. “I’m pumped and I’m ready to perform for the people.”
Dubois (21-2) scored an eighth-round TKO victory over the previously undefeated Filip Hrgovic this past June to capture an interim IBF heavyweight championship. That same month, Dubois was elevated to undisputed status when Usyk vacated his share of the title.
