The all-British heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois is fast approaching.
This fight takes place at Wembley Stadium in September Dubois’ IBF world title. Both men are in good form, with Dubois having stopped Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in his last two fights, while Joshua is on a run of four wins, three by KO, in a little over a year having defeated Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou.
One man who has sparred both is young heavyweight hopeful Moses Itauma who has won six of his nine fights by stoppage and has already drawn high praise from Tyson Fury.
Speaking to BoxNation, he was asked what he made of the recent verbal altercation between the two.
“I don’t know how I feel towards that. I guess I just watched it on face value. I dunno. Daniel looked like he said something and then regretted saying it. He reiterated a little bit.
Hats off to both of them. Daniel is still young, he’s 26, so whatever happens in that fight he can always bounce back. What he’s done in his career, flair play, I take my hat off to him. I can’t wait for it, I’m going to be there as a fan. About that clip I don’t think it’s necessary go that far, I’ll throw a chair at you and all that. But it sells.”
He was then asked if he thought ‘AJ’ would knock out Dubois.
“Yeah, I think so.”
Itauma returns to action against veteran heavyweight Mariusz Wach on the undercard of Joe Joyce-Derek Chisora this month.
