Carl Froch has given his assessment on this weekend’s clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
Dubois will be making the first defence of his new IBF heavyweight strap that he won when he beat Filip Hrgovic in June. It was originally for the ‘Interim’ version of the belt but he was upgraded to full champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.
Joshua, meanwhile is on a four fight win streak and is looking to become a three-time heavyweight champion having rejuvenated his career following back-to-back defeats to Usyk.
Looking ahead to the Wembley showdown former world champion, Carl Froch gave his assessment on the fight.

“If I was gonna have a chunky bet on it, I’d bet on AJ to win because that’s the safe bet. But if I was getting good odds, I’d say Dubois by KO,” said Froch when speaking to Coin Poker .
“He’s got that bit between his teeth. He’s on the crest of this wave. He’s had two good wins. Hopefully, he doesn’t drive himself mad and put too much pressure on himself.
“Prediction wise, you can’t say that AJ’s got the chin built to take a punch off Dubois, because Dubois can bang.”
Froch continued: “At the minute I can’t separate them, but the smart money is on Anthony Joshua to beat him because Dubois is quite easy to hit. He gets hit with big shots. I think Dubois is going to feel the pressure when the spotlights hit him.”
