Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois will be over inside two rounds, according to Tony Bellew.
The potential heavyweight fight is known to be in talks for September 21 at Wembley Stadium as part of the Riyadh Season Card being planned by Saudi boxing chief
It’s not yet confirmed whether the fight will come to fruition, but former WBC cruiserweight world champion Bellew has already made a bold prediction.
When initially asked if Dubois possesses any attributes that could trouble Joshua, Bellew told Lucky Block Casino: “Of course, he can punch.
“But AJ’s technically better than him, more fluid than him, quicker than him, hits harder than him.
“Everything Dubois is good at, AJ is a bit better at. And he also has a defence.
Boxing promoter Frank Warren reveals plans are in the works for Daniel Dubois to fight Anthony Joshua
“Dubois is good at front-foot pressure, powerful, with reasonable speed for someone his size.
“AJ’s a freak. AJ’s the best athlete the heavyweight division’s probably ever had as an athletic specimen.
“If you put AJ in a 100m race [against the other heavyweights], lifting weights, how far he can jump, how high he can jump – I promise you he’d win the lot.
“It’s just getting all that package put into one.
“As for AJ vs Dubois, I think if that fight gets made it’s over inside two rounds.
“I think he won’t miss him. As long as Joshua goes in with the same attitude that he went in with against Francis Ngannou, it’s over in two rounds.
“I don’t see any other outcome.”
