Dubois, often seen as the underdog, aims to deliver a decisive blow to Joshua’s ambitions of reclaiming a heavyweight title for the third time.
In a strong message directed at ‘AJ’, the 26-year-old is resolute that this is his moment to shine.
« I can’t wait; it feels like it’s all written in the stars for me, and I’m focused on keeping my belt, » Dubois shared with talkSPORT on Haskbee & Jacobs.
« I want to put on a performance that people will remember. Right now, I’m just focused on my preparation. »
« I’m honing my skills, and when fight night arrives, I’m ready to go to war. »
« I truly believe it’s my time now, everything is on the line for me, and it’s time to take center stage. »
« I’m ready to seize the moment and hold my ground for a long time. I’m prepared for the fight, just waiting for that first bell. »
Dubois has recently displayed a more aggressive edge, with tensions flaring between him and Joshua.
During a recent face-off, the two had to be pulled apart by security, marking one of the first instances of trash talk from Dubois in his career.
A victory for Dubois could pave the way for a lucrative match against the winner of Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch with Tyson Fury in 2025.

The boxing world is witnessing a transformed Dubois, with talkSPORT pundit Spencer Oliver sharing insights into his focused training regimen.
« Daniel Dubois is a different type of competitor. He’s very reserved, often keeping to himself and speaking little, » Oliver noted during talkSPORT Drive.
« To give you a glimpse into his routine, he walks into the gym with a bag on his shoulder, remaining silent, putting his bag down to fist bump a couple of people he sees. »
« Then he sits down for his hands to be wrapped, still without a word. This is the essence of his character. »
« He trains at a farm in Boreham Wood—such a serene environment. But what’s striking is how he spends about an hour daily staring at the Arches of Wembley from the car park. It’s an intense focus. »
