Can Pressure at Wembley Be Too Much for Daniel Dubois Against Anthony Joshua?

Carl Froch Reveals His Thoughts on Joshua vs. Dubois

As excitement builds for the September 21 card with Joshua-Dubois headlining, Froch has had his say and who he would put his money on: “If I was gonna have a chunky bet on it, I’d bet on AJ to win because that’s the safe bet. But if I was getting good odds, I’d say Dubois by KO. He’s got that bit between his teeth. He’s on the crest of this wave. He’s had two good wins. Hopefully he doesn’t drive himself mad and put too much pressure on himself.”

Froch continued: “Prediction wise, you can’t say that AJ’s got the chin built to take a punch off Dubois, because Dubois can bang. At the minute I can’t separate them, but the smart money is on Anthony Joshua to beat him because Dubois is quite easy to hit. He gets hit with big shots. I think Dubois is going to feel the pressure when the spotlights hit him.”
