Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois BFW Prediction
As we build up to the main event between Joshua and Dubois, we wanted to remind you of our prediction for the main event. It’s been a great undercard with upsets and brilliant performances, it’s now time for AJ to face “Dynamite.”
We expect a cautious beginning before – the experience of Joshua takes over, with BFW expecting a knockout win for Joshua before round seven.
