Joshua Shows Off His Insane Power – ‘Sounds Like Pain’

In their two fights together, Joshua has stopped Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou. However, the level of opposition has to be questioned as Dubois is the first test for both of them. Dubois became the champion once Oleksandr Usyk vacated his belt.

He throws numerous shots under the direction of Davis as the power is undeniable. Since both possess knockout power, two former world champions have opposing opinions over who wins.
“I don’t know if he’s the people’s favourite and I don’t know if he’s the bookies’ favourite, and I don’t gamble but if I did right now and I had to pick one person to win this particular fight I’m slightly leaning towards Dubois. When you look at the last several fights that they’ve had, AJ’s had the softer ride in. Dubois has the more natural athleticism about him.” He’s more loose than AJ. He would’ve done his research on AJ and know how to beat him,” Duke McKenzie stated
“He took 56 clean right hands in the first four rounds. You’ll get away with one or two against AJ, and then you know what happens? Then you got to sleep. I take nothing away from him. Amazing resilience and a huge amount of courage against Filip Hrgovic, but it’s one thing Filip Hrgovic hitting you and another thing a wrecking Machine like Anthony Joshua hitting you,” Tony Bellew revealed
