Anthony Joshua will face Daniel Dubois in an all-British showdown for the IBF world heavyweight title at Wembley on September 21 after Oleksandr Usyk confirmed he was vacating the belt.
Dubois is the IBF’s mandatory challenger and it was announced on Wednesday that he will go up against Joshua.

Usyk, 37, became the first heavyweight to hold the IBF, WBO, WBA and WBC belts when he beat Tyson Fury on a split decision in Saudi Arabia last month.
“Anthony and Daniel, listen. I know the IBF title is important to you. It is my present to you on September 21,” Usyk said in a video posted on social media on Tuesday.
Britain’s Lennox Lewis was the last man to unify the major heavyweight belts — three at the time — prior to Usyk, in 1999.
Two-time world champion Joshua, 34, has 28 victories and three losses during his career while Dubois, 28, has won 21 of his 23 fights.

Thanks for this information about A A Rano cum A A RANO NIGERIA LTD.
We are delighted and grateful to have him as a great Nigerian with a Big Heart and magnificent mind. Very Conscious and Considerate in his business dealings. He always exhibits Islamic Ethics and Ethos and Etiquettes everywhere like lowered prices during Ramadhan and selling petrol at the official price during fuel scarcity when most others increased their prices or adjusted their pump. I strongly recommend that Government should honour stations like A A Rano & Bovas etc to encourage others to emulate them rather than fleecing Nigerians at the least opportunity.
May Almighty Allah continue to Bless and Reward Alhaji Auwalu Abdullahi Rano and his household, Aameen Thumma Aameen.
