Nigerian-born UFC sensation Israel Adesanya has made a bold move by placing a $10,000 bet on two-time former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to win his upcoming IBF heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois.
In a recent Instagram post, Israel Adesanya shared a photo of his stake, signaling his support for Joshua. His bet suggests that he is backing Joshua to win between the 10th and 12th rounds, with the potential for an estimated $50,000 payout.
“ÒGÚN‼ This fight got beef…grab the #stake sauce,” Adesanya captioned ....
The highly-anticipated showdown is set to take place at 11 p.m. tonight, September 21, 2024, at Wembley Stadium in England, with a staggering 96,000 fans expected to create an electrifying atmosphere.
This all-British clash promises to be a spectacle, as it marks Dubois’ first fight at England’s national stadium, adding immense pressure on him and his team, led by trainer Don Charles.
The stakes are high, especially considering Dubois’ bold declaration of his intention to knock out Joshua. The 26-year-old Briton, known for branding himself as “a good destroyer,” exudes confidence as he aims to deliver only the second knockout defeat of Joshua’s professional career.
On the other hand, Joshua, aged 33, enters the ring with four consecutive wins, including a knockout victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. The stage is set for an epic battle between these two formidable athletes at the historic Wembley Stadium.
