The Flipidoheavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois on Saturday is scheduled for 12 rounds. The chances of it going that far are remote.
Almost 90 percent of the boxers' combined 54 fights have ended by knockout. That includes each of them getting KO'd, too.
Plenty is at stake for the sluggers.
Joshua (28-3 with 25 KOs) and Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) will battle for the IBF heavyweight title and a likely shot against the winner of the Dec. 21 fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Improbably enough.
In 2022, Joshua was counted out – figuratively, at least – after back-to-back losses to Usyk. He has since won four straight bouts, but the caliber of competition is questionable.
In his last fight, Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, knocked out Francis Ngannou, the former UFC champion who was in only his second pro boxing match. Dubois got knocked out by Usyk in 2023. Since then, he’s won back-to-back fights, victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic – by knockout, of course.
Dubois' eighth-round TKO of Hrgovic in June earned him the then-interim IBF title.
