Why you should back Joshua
The 34-year-old has been on a roll. He has compiled a 28-3 career record, registering a whopping 25 wins by knockout. He has not lost since a split decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2022 for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and the vacant The Ring heavyweight titles. He rebounded in a big way from that loss to post a unanimous decision win over Jermaine Franklin in April 2023.
Joshua was back at it four months later when he stopped Robert Helenius at 1:27 of the seventh round at O2 Arena in London. He won his third in a row when Otto Wallin retired in the fifth round of their December 2023 fight, setting the stage for his bout with Ngannou. Joshua has had a lot of success throughout his career, which began in October 2013. He won his first 22 fights before losing the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles to Andy Ruiz Jr. by TKO in the seventh round in their June 1, 2019, battle. Six months later he regained his titles in a rematch he won by unanimous decision. See which fighter to back here.
Why you should back Dubois
Dubois has also been impressive. The 27-year-old started his career off on a tear, winning his first 15 career fights with 14 coming via knockout. For his career, all but one of his wins have come by knockout. His only two losses were also by knockout and came in world championship bouts. Following his last loss in August 2023 to Usyk, he rebounded nicely, registering a TKO win over Jarrell Miller at 2:52 of the 10th round in December 2023.
Dubois began his professional career in April 2017, registering a knockout in just 35 seconds over Marcus Kelly. He followed that up with five consecutive knockouts in either the first or second rounds.
