Amir Khan provides his expert opinion on the potential Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois fight
Speaking to Fastest Payout Online Casinos, former unified world champion, Amir Khan, shared his professional view on the potential Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois fight, rumoured to take place in London in September.
The 37-year-old from Bolton began, “I like the Dubious-AJ fight. Dubois is an all-rounder; he hits hard, he holds the weight well, he’s not a guy you can mess around with, AJ would have to take him very seriously, the guy is a beast.
“AJ is also a beast, he’s been there and done it all, but the one thing about Dubois is his boxing skills. He’s smart and the way fought Hrgovic – he was taking some big punches – but he came back stronger and took the guy out.
The new IBF Interim heavyweight champion Dubois stopped the unbeaten Croatian, Hrgovic, in round eight on June 1st as part of the groundbreaking Matchrom vs Queensberry card in Saudi Arabia.
“He has skills, strength, and heart. He won’t be the favourite because the bigger name is always the favourite, but it is a 50-50 fight in my opinion and it’s about who turns up on the night. And Dubois would turn up because it’s life changing money and status.
“And Dubois can take AJ’s punches, I think Dubois can take AJ’s power. He’s got a decent chin and he’s strong. He reminds me of strong, tough guys like Joe Frazier and he hits hard.”
The Olympian then gave his final prediction as to who would win the domestic dust-up, “It’s a hard fight to call, I edge more towards AJ because of experience but it’s 50-50.”
