Anthony Joshua 2/5 to win by KO/TKO in Saturday’s heavyweight showdown

Despite entering Saturday’s main event as a challenger, Anthony Joshua has been labelled a heavy favourite for this world title showdown.

As he looks to join an elite group of three-time heavyweight champions, Joshua is the overwhelming favourite as far as the bookmakers are concerned.

History has shown us time and time again that anything can happen when two elite heavyweights face off inside the ring (anyone remember Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas?), but Dubois will need to overcome the odds if he wants to retain his IBF belt.

When was the last world heavyweight title fight between British fighters?

After a prolonged period without a British-allied world heavyweight title fight, the successes of Tyson Fury and AJ at the highest levels of the sport have allowed fans to see the most famous belt in all of combat sports defended in the UK.

But when was the last time the heavyweight title was defended in Britain?

Less than two years ago, Tyson Fury put his WBC belt on the line in a trilogy fight against perennial contender Derek Chisora.

After twice defeating Del Boy during his rise to the heavyweight ranks, Fury emerged victorious again at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2022 via 10th-round TKO.

The dominant display marked the final defence of Fury’s reign before he suffered the first defeat of his career at the hands of current unified king Oleksandr Usyk in May.
