Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will headline a bumper card at Wembley Stadium on September 21.

The British pair will meet for the IBF heavyweight world title which is held by Dubois after Usyk vacated the belt and he was upgraded from ‘interim’ champion status.

But it promises to be an extremely busy night, with all of boxing’s leading promoters including Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions combining to make a mega-card.

Middleweight rising star Hamzah Sheeraz will return in a huge domestic dust-up with Tyler Denny for the European title.

Sheeraz dismantled undefeated Ammo Williams in June, while it will be a quick turnaround for his rival who stopped Felix Cash on June 22.

Featherweight stars Anthony Cacace and Josh Warrington will square off for the former’s recently gained IBF super-featherweight world title.

Cacace produced a scintillating display to stop Joe Cordina in May, but will need to be at his best to oust the experience Warrington who has seen it all in the sport.

Joshua Buatsi will return to the ring and take on Willy Hutchinson in an intriguing all-British clash for the WBO ‘interim’ light-heavyweight belt.

‘JB’ beat Dan Azeez last time out, but will be met by rugged Hutchinson who proved his worth by beating Craig Richards on the 5 vs 5 card in June.

Josh Kelly is back in an intriguing dust-up with Liam Smith, who will be looking to recover his form after losing his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr in 2023.

Kelly is on a win-streak of his own, and will be hoping to stake his claim to a future world title shot after showing so much promise earlier in his career.

H.E. Turki Alalshikh’s favourite fighter Mark Chamberlain has once again cemented his name on the bill, and will continue his quest at lightweight when he takes on Josh Padley.

Fans were left stunned by the quality of the bill, with one writing: “Best card ever.”

Another agreed, writing: “It's a rock solid card. Can't wait to see it.”

One added: “That's a very good card, possibly one of the best British ones ever.”

It is a huge night of action with some massive names present, which will serve as cracking preliminary entertainment before the high-stakes main event.

Joshua is searching for the opportunity to become three-time heavyweight world champion and make history to join the likes of Lennox Lewis and Muhammad Ali.

But ‘DDD’ knows he has a huge opportunity to preserve his title, and stake his claim as one of the leading heavyweights in the division.

The winner is expected to challenge the winner of Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, where the Ukrainian will put all three other belts on the line.
