Anthony Joshua next fight: 'AJ' set to challenge for IBF heavyweight title against Daniel Dubois

Joshua is back in the title picture after picking up four straight wins

After Oleksandr Usyk vacated the IBF heavyweight championship to clear the way, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will officially meet for the belt on Sept. 21 at Wembley Stadium in England. The fight was announced on Wednesday at a press conference.

In Usyk's announcement that he was vacating the title, a result of facing Tyson Fury in a rematch rather than facing IBF mandatory challenger Dubois, the heavyweight king declared the move a "gift" for Joshua and Dubois and mentioned the Sept. 21 date.

Dubois trounced Filip Hrgovic on June 1, claiming the IBF interim title with the win. Prior to that fight, Hrgovic was the IBF mandatory and expected the full championship to be on the line. The IBF and Usyk were still sorting things out, however, and instead created the interim belt for the bout. After Usyk's announcement, Dubois was made full IBF champion.
