Anthony Joshua prepared for a blockbuster fight against Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September after Deontay Wilder spurned the chance

ANTHONY JOSHUA has a September clash with Daniel Dubois lined up that is expected to break the Wembley record.

Tyson Fury maximized the house of soccer with 94,000 fans when he knocked out Dillian Whyte under the arches in 2022.

Saudi boxing king Turki Alalshikh wanted to finally do AJ vs Deontay Wilder at the iconic London venue this summer.

But the 37-year-old American has now lost back-to-back fights in Riyadh and appears destined for retirement after blowing up the fantasy shootout twice in the space of six months.

Then 26-year-old Dubois, who burst onto the scene telling stories about how he knocked Joshua out when they fought at Team GB’s Sheffield base when he was just a teenager, jumped to the front of the queue.

This comes after a gutsy December victory over drug dealer Jarrell Miller and a bloody stoppage of Filip Hrgovic on Saturday night.

SunSport understands that Alalshikh will contact London Mayor Sadiq Khan with a plan to break the attendance record and mix the spectacle of all-British boxing with a music festival vibe and two children’s play zones.

But Dubois – who bravely battled demons after surrendering in defeats to Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk – wants to make it a more pornographic event.

“It’s a dream,” he said of the eye-watering fight in London.

“Especially after having to recover from defeats and fight for the world title.

“Now I have a chance to win the damn thing and that’s what I want.

“I’m going to demolish AJ, from here I can only improve even more.

Joshua, 35, was ringside at the show, so would have seen Dubois’ performance and Wilder’s weak swan song.

The two-time world champion refused any media requests – apart from a doomed rallying cry for Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom group, who were beaten 5-0 in fights and 10-0 on points by Dubois’s Frank Warren team.

So it was up to Dynamite Dubois to ignite the excitement for the Joshua showdown, which will pit two 6-foot-6-inch Adonis against each other in a 35-muscle clash.

“There is no more retreat from me,” he said.

“Bring Joshua, I’m excited, I’m ready for it, let’s go.”

The winner of Joshua x Dubois will be in contention to face the winner of Fury’s rematch with Usyk.

The pair will renew their rivalry for all heavyweight marbles on December 21st.

A victory for Fury, however, will likely trigger a trilogy fight – which will leave the winner of AJ vs. Dubois needing a tune-up fight to stay active.
