Israel Adesanya Bets $10,000 On Anthony Joshua To Defeat Dubois

Nigerian-born UFC star Israel Adesanya has wagered $10,000 on two-time former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua ahead of his IBF heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois.

The showdown is set for September 21, 2024, at Wembley Stadium, England.

This highly anticipated all-British bout will take place in front of 96,000 fans, a venue familiar to Joshua but uncharted territory for Dubois. For Dubois, it marks his debut at England’s national stadium, adding extra pressure to him and his team, led by trainer Don Charles.

EDITOR’S PICKS

On Friday, Adesanya took to Instagram to share a screenshot of his wager, placed on September 17, 2024, with the names “Dubois, Daniel – Joshua, Anthony” visible.

“ÒGÚN This fight got beef…grab the #stake sauce,” the post read.

Adesanya’s bet showed that he picked Joshua as the winner, to win between the 10th and 12th rounds, with an estimated pay-out of $50,000.

However, Dubois had boldly declared his intention to knock out Joshua.
The 26-year-old Briton, who brands himself as “a good destroyer,” is confident he can deliver only the second knockout defeat of Joshua’s professional career.

“I aim to knock him out. That’s the programme. That’s the mindset; that’s the intention coming into this fight,” Dubois told Sky Sports.

“I’m going to focus my whole life on destroying him and just being a good destroyer, a good conqueror. Don’t wait. Go out there. Smash him.”

Joshua, 33, is coming off four straight wins, including a knockout victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
