Nigerian-born UFC sensation, Israel Adesanya, has placed a whopping $10,000 bet on Anthony Joshua to emerge victorious in his IBF heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois.
The highly anticipated all-British clash is set for September 21, 2024, at Wembley Stadium, England, with 96,000 fans expected to create an electric atmosphere.
Adesanya shared a picture of his stake on Instagram, captioning it: “ÒGÚN‼️ This fight got beef…grab the #stake sauce.”
The bet, placed on September 17, 2024, predicts Joshua will win between the 10th and 12th rounds, with an estimated payout of $50,000.
However, Dubois remains confident, declaring: “I aim to knock him out. That’s the programme. That’s the mindset; that’s the intention coming into this fight.”
“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,” Dubois told Sky Sports.
Joshua, 33, seeks to extend his four-fight winning streak, including a knockout victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
The stage is set for an epic showdown. Will Adesanya’s bet pay off, or will Dubois pull off a stunning upset?
