Joshua-Dubois Heavyweight Fight Set for Wembley

Anthony Joshua's upcoming heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois on September 21 at Wembley Stadium is poised to break the current British boxing attendance record of 94,000, set during Tyson Fury's match against Dillian Whyte in 2021. Saudi boxing promoter Turki Alalshikh has applied to increase the stadium's capacity due to high ticket demand, aiming for what could be the largest boxing attendance in Wembley’s history. The event, which has already sold out, will feature a strong undercard and a performance by Liam Gallagher. Security and local authority approval will be essential for the capacity extension. Joshua is looking to become a three-time heavyweight champion, adding further excitement to the match-up between the two former Team GB sparring partners. The fight is part of the Riyadh Season, highlighting the growing influence of Middle Eastern investment in boxing.
