Matchroom and Queensberry Promotions have formally announced the IBF heavyweight title fight between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua.
Late on Tuesday evening, undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk revealed that he was vacating his IBF belt in order for Joshua and Dubois to fight for it at Wembley Stadium.
As interim champion, Dubois has since been elevated to the status of IBF champion, with his first defence coming against two-time world champion Joshua on September 21.
The showpiece bout will dominate the build-up to an event that is being supported by Prince Turki Alalshikh, the undercard that has been set up is one of the most spectacular in the history of British boxing.
