Former Champion Tony Bellew Predicts a Quick and Brutal End for Potential Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois: “You’ll go to sleep”

Daniel Dubois proved he is a force to be reckoned with after defeating Filip Hrgovic via a knockout last month in Saudi Arabia. However, can he go toe-to-toe with the likes of Anthony Joshua? Following his win over the Croatian boxer, many speculate a fight against the former unified champion might be on the horizon. Former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew has shared his prediction on this potential showdown.

Since his fight against Joe Joyce in November 2020, ‘Dynamite’ Dubois has been criticized for buckling under heavy pressure. The same was proven true when Dubois quit during his fight against the now undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk last year. However, Dubois’ latest win changes everything, yet Bellew sees a grim fate for him against Joshua.

According to IFL TV on X, speaking about the potential heavyweight showdown between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua, Bellew said, “If he (Dubois) fights AJ next, then I am sorry to say it but it ends quickly and brutally.” Dubois is not a bad boxer, so why was Bellew so dismissive about him?

As per Bellew’s analysis, Dubois took heavy damage during the early rounds in the fight against Hrgovic, which Bellew believes won’t fly in a fight against someone as skilled as Joshua. He added, “You’ll get away with one or two against AJ and then you know what happens? You’ll go to sleep.”

Bellew’s assessment is based on Dubois’ performance in the early rounds against Hrgovic. Despite the knockout victory, Dubois absorbed significant punishment, a vulnerability Bellew believes Joshua would exploit decisively. “You’ll get away with one or two against AJ and then you know what happens? You’ll go to sleep,” Bellew reiterated, emphasizing the brutal efficiency of Joshua’s striking power.

As fans eagerly anticipate the potential clash, Bellew’s stark prediction adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. Can Dubois prove his critics wrong, or will Joshua confirm Bellew’s forecast? The boxing world awaits with bated breath.
