Frank Warren Reveals Key Factors That Will Determine Outcome of Daniel Dubois vs. Anthony Joshua**

 

Promoter Frank Warren has offered his insight into the potential showdown between British heavyweight stars Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua, highlighting the critical areas where the fight could be won or lost. As speculation builds around a possible bout between the two, Warren, who promotes Dubois, has provided a detailed assessment of the fighters’ strengths and weaknesses and where the key battles in the ring may unfold.

 

According to Warren, the fight will largely hinge on Dubois’ youth, power, and determination versus Joshua’s experience, boxing IQ, and ability to adapt under pressure. Joshua, a former unified heavyweight champion, has far more experience at the elite level, having faced some of the biggest names in the sport, including Wladimir Klitschko, Andy Ruiz Jr., and Oleksandr Usyk. This experience gives Joshua an edge in knowing how to navigate high-stakes situations, especially when it comes to handling different styles and strategies.

 

However, Warren believes that Dubois’ raw power and aggressive fighting style could pose significant problems for Joshua. Dubois has established himself as one of the hardest punchers in the division, with a reputation for finishing opponents quickly. Warren suggested that if Dubois is able to close the distance and land his heavy shots early, he has a real chance of causing an upset.

 

“Daniel’s power is undeniable,” Warren said. “If he can get in there and make Joshua feel uncomfortable early on, it could be a short night. The key for Dubois will be not letting Joshua settle into his rhythm, because once AJ finds his range and gets comfortable, he’s very hard to beat.”

 

Warren also pointed out that while Dubois is still young and relatively inexperienced compared to Joshua, he has shown resilience and growth since his loss to Joe Joyce in 2020. That fight, where Dubois suffered an eye injury and eventually took a knee to stop the contest, served as a learning moment for the young fighter. Since then, Dubois has bounced back with a series of knockout victories, including a controversial stoppage of WBA (Regular) champion Oleksandr Usyk in 2023, which has boosted his confidence heading into a potential clash with Joshua.

 

On the other hand, Warren emphasized that Joshua’s biggest strength lies in his technical ability and adaptability. Despite some recent setbacks, including two consecutive losses to Usyk, Joshua’s ability to box on the outside, use his jab effectively, and stay composed in difficult situations could be the deciding factor.

 

“AJ’s experience in high-pressure fights is something you can’t ignore,” Warren said. “He’s been in there with the best, and he knows how to handle himself in those moments. Dubois will need to make sure he doesn’t let Joshua dictate the pace or turn it into a technical fight, because that’s where AJ excels.”

 

In Warren’s view, the fight will come down to who can impose their style on the other. Dubois will need to apply relentless pressure and use his power to test Joshua’s chin and durability, while Joshua will likely look to keep the fight at a distance, using his superior boxing skills to outmaneuver the younger fighter.

 

As fans eagerly await an official announcement, Warren’s analysis has added even more intrigue to what could be one of the most exciting matchups in the heavyweight division. Whether Dubois can overcome Joshua’s experience or Joshua can handle Dubois’ relentless pressure remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—the fight will be a must-watch for boxing fans around the world.

 

For now, all eyes are on whether the bout will be finalized, and when these two British heavyweights will

collide in the ring.
