Anthony Joshua's world title fight against fellow Briton Daniel Dubois on Saturday in London will be broadcast live from 19:00 BST on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.

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

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

Video highlights will be available to watch on the BBC Sport website and app on Sunday.

Radio coverage begins on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds from 19:00 BST before switching to 5 Live from 20:30, available online throughout.

As well as radio coverage and daily podcasts, you can follow live text commentary from the main fight and undercard 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 contest is likely to be first in line to fight the winner of Usyk's rematch with Tyson Fury on 21 December in Saudi Arabia.

Both men's records include defeats by Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight titles after defeating Fury last May.

Joshua, 34, has previously held the IBF, WBO and WBA titles, and has 28 wins in 31 fights.

Dubois, 27, defends the belt he was awarded during the summer when Usyk vacated the IBF title.

Joshua and Dubois have 45 knockouts between them.

Dubois has won his last two fights while Joshua has won his last four, three of them by stoppage.
