Joshua, 34, is vastly more experienced at world championship level than Dubois. He is a two-time unified world heavyweight champion having held every world title except the WBC belt in his career.

Dubois failed in his only world title challenge last year against Usyk and has never fought at Wembley Stadium. This will be Joshua’s third appearance at the venue and his sixth stadium fight overall.

Joshua has 12 world title fights under his belt, nine of those wins. The Londoner has won his last four fights in a row, three of those by stoppage.

Dubois, 26, has won his last two fights in a row since losing to Usyk in August 2023. Both men have an impressive knockout rate. Of Dubois’ 21 wins in 23 fights, 20 of those have come via knockout.

Joshua, in comparison, has 25 knockouts in 28 wins.

Dubois’ defeats have come to Usyk and Joe Joyce, while Joshua has lost to Usyk (twice) and Andy Ruiz Jr.
