Nevertheless, Oladipo stressed how he struggled against the notion. “I completely disagree with; you’ve shown people now in your last two fights you are the real deal; you are coming into your best right,” he said. Dubois responded back, “I was, you know, speaking about before I was in a dark place and I was going through some stuff.” However, ever since, he feels that he has ‘resurrected’ himself from the abyss. The limelight is back on his face. Hence, he feels that he is now ready for what could be the biggest showdown of his seven-year-old career.
Daniel Dubois acknowledged how ‘AJ’ has stayed at the top of the game for a long time. Nevertheless, he stressed that he knew that it was time for the crown to change hands. “He’s been the king for a long time, in fact, but you know what it’s? I feel like it’s my time, and I’m a king Slayer, and I’ve got to do that again,” he said.
Thus, Daniel Dubois knows that he is not going to serve his hard-earned championship to Joshua on a platter.
He almost had his moment in history when he derailed Oleksandr Usyk on his tracks last year. He lost the bout to the future undisputed champion by a ninth-round knockout. However, his fifth-round punch that dropped Usyk down on the canvas but later declared an illegal blow caused quite a flutter in the boxing world. Many felt that the hit was a legal one. Therefore, it is not difficult to see why the Wembley showdown is so critical to Dubois.
It’s difficult to speculate as to where the heavyweight class could have gone if Dubois had been proclaimed the winner. However, “Triple D” bounced back stronger than before, refusing to wallow in the past. First, he defeated Jared Miller on Anthony Joshua-Otto Wallin’s “Day of Reckoning” with a dominant performance. Subsequently, he stopped the well-known Filip Hrgovic at the “Matchroom 5v5 vs. Queensberry” card. His victory made him the IBF’s temporary champion.
He now has the fantastic opportunity on September 21 to demonstrate that he is heavyweight boxing’s future star and that his name belongs in the annals of history.
How do you feel? Do you think Daniel Dubois will defeat Anthony Joshua in an unexpected fashion?
