Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang has predicted that Daniel Dubois will defeat Anthony Joshua in their IBF heavyweight title bout on September 21 at Wembley.
Zhang, who has gained momentum after stopping Joe Joyce twice in 2022 and knocking out Deontay Wilder in March 2023, shared his insights following his most recent win.
Despite a narrow points loss to Joseph Parker, the 41-year-old “Big Bang” is confident that Dubois has the potential to upset the former champion.
In an interview with BoxNation, Zhang explained his preference for the younger Dubois in the highly anticipated match-up.
“I personally favour Daniel Dubois to win because he’s on a surge. He’s young, he’s hungry, and he has the fire in him,” Zhang said.
“He had a stunning knockout victory over Filip Hrgovic last time, so I really believe in the underdog, and I think he can win. I believe he will shock the world.”
