Joshua vs Dubois LIVE: Fight start time and undercard results as heavyweights clash at Wembley tonight

Daniel Dubois stopped by Sky Sports in the build up to this fight and made his intentions for Anthony Joshua very clear.

He said: “I aim to knock him out. That’s the programme. That’s the mindset, that’s the intention coming into this fight. I’m going to focus my whole life into destroying it and just being a good destroyer, a good conqueror.

“Don’t wait. Go out there. Smash him.

“Go through them. Go through whatever I have to go through… No retreat, no surrender. And go out there and perform like a warrior.”

Round five

Padley connects FLUSH with an overhand left as he’s pressed against the ropes in what is the most significant strike of the bout so far.

This is not going to plan for Chamberlain.

Round six

Chamberlain needed a wake up call and that left in the last round seems to have been just that. Far sharper in the sixth and he’s putting Padley under pressure.

Some stiff shots in and out of the clinch, but Padley is also connecting. The underdog’s corner is pushing their man on.

Round one

Padley confusing Chamberlain, showing off a good variety of strikes and seeing success with the level changes.

A good start from the underdog.

Round two

Chamberlain getting on the front foot and working well with the jab, forcing Padley into the ropes. Padley is fighting back and has a lot of body to aim at.

Padley still finding some success but Chamberlain has been a lot more physical in the second. The corner have asked for more aggression for Turki’s darling boy and they’ve got that.

When Joshua Buatsi arrives at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, there will be no seeking out familiar faces – not even a face as familiar as Anthony Joshua’s.

And to Buatsi, Joshua’s face is even more familiar than it is to the average boxing fan. The two Joshuas have been good friends for years, and Saturday will mark the fourth time they have shared a fight card. In 2017 and 2018, Buatsi competed on the undercard of “AJ”’s victories over Carlos Takam and Joseph Parker, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. In 2019, Buatsi was there at Madison Square Garden to do a job when Joshua, for the first time in his professional career, failed to do his own and lost to Andy Ruiz Jr.

This evening, Buatsi will be there again, facing Willy Hutchinson at Wembley before Joshua headlines against Daniel Dubois, the reigning IBF heavyweight champion.

Anthony Joshua insists his shock defeat by Andy Ruiz has forged the mindset that will enable him to become a three-time world heavyweight champion at Wembley on Saturday.

Joshua challenges for Daniel Dubois’ IBF belt knowing victory would complete a period of rebuilding after losses to Ruiz in 2019 and then twice to Oleksandr Usyk left his career on the brink.

Now riding a five-fight winning streak, the 34-year-old from Watford views the seismic upset in New York as a seminal moment.

Daniel Dubois tipped the scales at a career-high 17st 10lbs for the first defence of his IBF world heavyweight title against Anthony Joshua at Wembley on Saturday.

Dubois registered 3lbs heavier than for his most recent victory, an eighth-round stoppage on cuts of Croatian Filip Hrgovic in June, while Joshua tipped the scales 4lbs heavier at 18st.

Anthony Joshua does not take kindly to being disrespected. At least not anymore. The two-time world heavyweight champion has made that very clear in recent weeks, with the threat of severe repercussions should anyone dare to provoke him.

With a steely focus and deadly serious tone, Joshua vowed to put a chair across his rival Daniel Dubois’ face during a promotional event in June.

The British heavyweights square off in the ring on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium, with a record 96,000 fervent fans hungry for another glorious occasion in British boxing’s golden age – a period in which AJ himself has always been front and centre.

Liam Gallagher is set to perform at 9pm before main event and after Sheeraz v Denny.

Here’s the running order from 4pm:

• Chamberlain v Padley
• Kelly v Davis
• Warrington v Cacace
• Buatsi v Hutchinson
• Sheeraz v Denny
• Joshua v Dubois

Lennox Lewis has urged Daniel Dubois to prove he is a world champion in the ring when he puts his IBF belt on the line against Anthony Joshua.

Dubois and Joshua clash in the first great all-British heavyweight world title showdown since Lewis and Frank Bruno gripped the nation with their Cardiff Arms Park collision in 1993.
