Anthony Joshua Sparring Multiple Amateurs at ONCE in Build-Up to Dubois Clash
It was recently announced that, as expected, Anthony Joshua will take on Daniel Dubois for the IBF world title in Wembley Stadium on September 21st, in a bid to become a three-time world heavyweight champion. In the build-up to the fight, videos have emerged of Anthony Joshua sparring against multiple amateur boxers at once at his old amateur gym, Finchley ABC.
Anthony Joshua is set to face Daniel Dubois for Dubois’ IBF world title, following the IBF’s decision to upgrade Dubois to full world champion rather than interim, after his stoppage win over Filip Hrgovic on the 5v5 card in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua comes off a string of dominant performances, having defeated Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou since his losses to Oleksandr Usyk, winning all but one of those fights by stoppage.
Dubois is coming off back-to-back career-best performances against Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, following his own loss to Usyk, winning both fights by stoppage.
With Dubois’ record of 21-2 with 20 knockouts, and AJ’s record of 28-3, with 25 knockouts, this fight is not expected to go the distance.
Anthony Joshua Sparring Multiple Amateurs
In a video on Twitter, Anthony Joshua was shown to have visited his old amateur gym, Finchley ABC, sparring with the up-and-coming amateur talent at the club. In one instance, AJ spars two amateurs at the same time, and even picks up a small cut from one of the kids he spars.
It is unclear yet who the official Anthony Joshua sparring partners are for his Dubois preparation, though we have seen the former champion doing defensive drills with Aloys Junior, as well as mentions of Jeamie TKV on AJ’s Instagram a few weeks ago.
