Three time World heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis is putting his money on former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to beat Daniel Dubois in their heavyweight battle this week.

Lewis says he thinks Joshua's experience does give him the edge as he has been through bigger fights which included fighting Oleksandr Usyk twice.

He says the only thing is, Dubois was the only one, out of the two of them to put Oleksandr Usyk down on the floor.

He adds the fight will be won and lost on the jab.

Meanwhile, Dubois was recently upgraded from interim to full IBF world champion and will make the first defence of his title against Joshua in the UK capital.

Joshua and Dubois will battle on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in front of 96,000 fans in Riyadh Season's second overseas show.

Joshua is aiming to become a three-time world heavyweight champion and join an elite group of boxing greats, including Lewis.
