  "account": "Daniel Dubois has predicted Tyson Fury to defeat British-Nigerian Anthony Joshua in their upcoming bout on December 11, despite admitting that choosing a winner was a difficult call. Dubois, who previously defeated Joshua in 2024, discussed his thoughts on the upcoming fight ahead of his rematch with Fabio Wardley for the World Boxing Organisation title. He expressed uncertainty and expressed support for both fighters, stating that the best performer should emerge victorious. Dubois described the event as a business rather than a proper fight, emphasizing that it's primarily about earning big money. Fury, a 36-year-old with a record of 36 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, including 25 knockouts, is set to face Joshua, who has a record of 30 wins and 4 losses with 27 knockouts. Both fighters have competed against other champions like Murat Gassiev, Agit Kabayel, Filip Hrgovic, and Oleksandr Usyk. The fight is scheduled to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and will be broadcast live worldwide on Netflix.",
