The countdown is well and truly on to the all-British battle of Anthony Joshua against Daniel Dubois at Wembley on Saturday live on DAZN and it seems the whole boxing world - in fact the whole world full stop - have had their say on the duel.
It feels a legacy, career defining fight for both, after both have fought back from recent major defeats, setbacks and an awful lot of public questioning and criticism to put themselves back at the top of the heavyweight division.
Dubois is now the IBF champion, after Oleksandr Usyk was forced to relinquish the title, and defends it for the first time. AJ is aiming to become a rare-breed of a three-time world champion.
DAZN News has been taking a temperature check from boxing experts, to get their predictions on who will win and walk away from Wembley as the IBF champion, and the prospect of facing the winner of Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2.
Ex world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew
"All I can see is Joshua early. The first four rounds,” Bellew told DAZN News.
“I know Daniel carries a big threat and he’s had a couple of big wins over Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller, but Joshua is a level or two above those guys and this fight is on another level to anything Daniel has encountered before.
“Joshua knows what it takes to be in the big fights at the big stadiums and it often brings the best out of him when it matters most. I really admire Daniel for getting himself to this position because he’s proved plenty of people wrong, but I feel this is just one step too far.
“Daniel takes too many shots and if you look at the Hrgovic fight, he was taking right hand after right hand. You won’t get away with that with Joshua and that’s how I think the fight will be won.”

Former undisputed heavyweight world champion Lennox Lewis
"I think Anthony Joshua's experience does give him the edge. He's been through bigger fights. Oleksandr Usyk twice.
"The only thing is, Daniel Dubois was the only one, out of the two of them, to put Oleksandr Usyk down on the floor."
Legendary trainer Teddy Atlas
“Joshua’s in a good place mentally and of course technically with Ben Davison,” said Atlas when speaking on The Stomping Ground.
“If [Dubois] expects to take the same punishment and walk through it those first few rounds, it ain’t happening.
"So, unless they improve on the technical side to avoid those punches, no. It could be a short night.”
Ex middleweight world champion and DAZN pundit Darren Barker
“I just feel with the atmosphere, just shy of 100,000 there, it’s mental. I’m going AJ,” said Barker when speaking to DAZN News.
“I think AJ will get a stoppage in one hell of a fight.”
Deontay Wilder's trainer Malik Scott
“Joshua has a solid base, good boxing skills, and a great coach in Ben Davison. He’s highly motivated and dangerous right now. I do think Dubois is trouble with that defense,” said Scott when speaking to Genting Casino.
“But Dubois has surprised me lately, especially when he weathered the storms against [Filip] Hrgovic and Jarell Miller, but Joshua is just different. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on Joshua stopping him between rounds four and seven.”
Heavyweight fighter Dorian Darch, who has fought both
“I think it’s got to be early to middle Joshua knockout, I reckon,” said Darch when speaking to Sports Boom.
“Because I don’t know if you watched Dubois’ last fight to Hrgovic, in all fairness, he took the shots, but you can’t take them shots against AJ.
“He took around seven to eight right hands, and you just can’t physically take them off AJ.”
Heavyweight fighter Dillian Whyte
"AJ's saying he's the underdog and he's got doubters, I don't think no-one's doubting him, I don't think he's the underdog. Dubois is saying the same, Whyte told talkSPORT.
"I just think that it's one of those fights where it is a genuine 50/50 fight in my opinion."
Heavyweight fighter Otto Wallin, defeat by Joshua in 2023
“I think that Dubois and Joshua will be a good fight,” said Wallin when speaking to Action Network.
“If Dubois comes out like he did in his last fight against Hrgovic, he was hit a lot, with one-two's. You can't take those shots from Joshua because his punch is very, very hard.
“So, if he comes out the same way against Joshua, then I think Joshua wins by knockout before round five. But if Dubois has tightened up his defence a little bit and can hit Joshua with a few good shots then it could turn into an interesting fight.”
