Joshua vs. Dubois: BBC Radio 5 broadcasts heavyweight fight live

Anthony Joshua’s world championship fight against fellow Briton Daniel Dubois in London on Saturday will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds from 7:30pm (BST).

Dubois is putting his IBF title on the line against Joshua, who is aiming to become a three-time heavyweight world champion.

The two will meet at Wembley Stadium in front of an expected crowd of 96,000 – the British post-war boxing record.

Video highlights can be viewed on the BBC Sport website and app on Sunday.

Radio coverage begins at 7pm (BST) on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds, before switching to 5 Live at 8.30pm and is available online throughout.

In addition to radio coverage and daily podcasts, you can follow live text commentary from the main and preliminary matches of the Riyadh Season Card Wembley Edition on the BBC Sport website and app.

Ringside coverage will be led by commentator Ronald McIntosh, retired world champion George Groves and Dubois’ former trainer Shane McGuigan.

The winner of Saturday’s fight will likely be the first to face the winner of Usyk’s rematch with Tyson Fury on December 21 in Saudi Arabia.
