British heavyweight standout Frazer Clarke has picked the toughest puncher he’s ever been in the ring with, and it’s not Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois, who face battle in September.

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois may pack a punch, but they don’t hit as hard as David Price.

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will face each other in September.

That is at least according to Frazer Clarke, a British heavyweight boxer who has fought all three men. Joshua and Dubois will fight for the IBF heavyweight title on September 21, after undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk was forcibly stripped of the crown.

The bout pits two of the heaviest hitters in boxing against one another. But judging by Clarke’s recent comments, neither man can hold a candle to Price, who retired back in 2021.

“It’s a different kind of punch but I think that on a single shot probably Joshua just [punches harder than Dubois],” Clarke, 32, told Boxing Social. “Joshua comes with a bit more speed than Dubois so they come sharp, Dubois is a real thud.

“I’ll say it again, and he has no place in this conversation [about Joshua and Dubois] but both of them two are leaps and bounds away from David Price – f*** me, Jesus Christ,” Clarke added.

“That was different gravy. I was young at the time, probably 17 or 18, but that was an experience. I think that he was taking it easy as well! In one punch, David Price has unbelievable power. Unbelievable.”

Price, who stands at a gigantic 6ft 8in tall, largely failed to live up to the huge expectations on his shoulders following an impressive amateur career. The 40-year-old quit the sport without ever competing for a world title, registering 25 wins from 32 professional fights, with his latest bout ending in defeat to Derek Chisora.

Frazer Clarke named David Price (pictured) as the hardest puncher he’s ever faced.

Joshua and Dubois, on the other hand, are hoping to get their careers back on track after losing to Usyk. Joshua, 34, has won four straight fights since his back-to-back contests with the Ukrainian champion, but he has yet to be fully challenged since then.

Meanwhile, Dubois, 26, has won twice since his loss to Usyk, with his most recent victory against Filip Hrgovic earning him the interim IBF heavyweight title (later raised to full IBF heavyweight champion after Usyk abandoned it).
