Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s heavyweight world title showdown between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.

The two men are fighting for the IBF world title in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 90,000 in London.

Joshua, 34, is attempting to follow in the footsteps of Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis by becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion.

But in order to do that he will need to dethrone 27-year-old Dubois, who picked up the IBF title vacated by Oleksandr Usyk. Dubois last fought in June, when he stopped the Croatian Filip Hrgovic to capture the IBF interim title, which put him at the front of the queue for the real thing when Usyk gave up the strap in order to pursue a rematch with Tyson Fury.

Stick with us as we begin counting down to tonight’s main event and get involved by sending your thoughts to livebloguk@theathletic.com.
