Wembley Stadium has officially sold out for the highly anticipated IBF heavyweight world title showdown between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, scheduled for September 21.
The clash, which promises to be one of the biggest nights in boxing this year, has drawn enormous attention, with fans quickly snapping up all available general admission tickets.
The event, set to feature a stacked undercard and a performance by British rock icon Liam Gallagher, has generated immense buzz. Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, confirmed that all standard tickets have been sold, leaving only a limited number of platinum and hospitality options for those still hoping to witness the action live.
For Joshua, Wembley holds a special significance. It was here that he delivered his career-defining victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2017, a bout that solidified his status as a global boxing superstar. He also secured a decisive win against Alexander Povetkin at the same arena.
However, this time around, Joshua enters the ring as the challenger, facing Dubois, who was recently elevated to full IBF champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title.
Dubois, 26, views this opportunity as the chance to stamp his authority on the heavyweight division.
With a rigorous training camp under the guidance of his coach, Don Charles, Dubois is confident he can defeat the former champion.
“I’m just aiming to be the best. To fight the best and beat the best,” Dubois said.
“AJ has been the king for a long time, and we all know it, so on the night, I need to become a king-slayer. That’s my goal, and that’s the mission at hand. I’ve improved all around as a fighter and an athlete. I’m really up for this and ready to go.”
Joshua, fully aware of the magnitude of the task ahead, remains focused and determined, saying, “I’m not silly, either; I know the game. We’re all in the wild. We’re a pack of lions and hunters. It’s the next man up. I’ve had Dubois on my mind for a while.
“The goal is just to get through a successful training camp and then perform on the night.”
As the excitement continues to build, the sold-out crowd at Wembley is set to witness a battle of generations.
Joshua, with his wealth of experience and championship pedigree, is eager to reclaim his throne, while Dubois seeks to announce himself as the new force in heavyweight
boxing.
