Anthony Joshua says he welcomes IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois to be hostile, displaying aggression in the direction of him, and heading into their struggle subsequent month, 42 days from now, on September twenty first at Wembley Stadium in London.
Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) has acquired to be absolutely motivated for this struggle as a result of he has a lot to lose if he will get overwhelmed by the a lot youthful 26-year-old Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs).
All of the again slappers blowing smoke up Joshua’s tailpipe, saying how nice he’s due to his latest four-fight resurgence, imply nothing.
Joshua, 34, could be a idiot to purchase into the reward from his followers as a result of he’s acquired to know that he’s not fought anybody but to indicate that he’s come again from his two defeats towards Oleksandr Usyk.
Dubois Rebuilt and Harmful
He’s nonetheless the identical fighter and might be simply as susceptible as he all the time has been when he fights the younger gun, Dubois. If anybody that has been rebuilt, it’s Dubois. He’s a very completely different fighter who misplaced to Joe Joyce 4 years in the past. He’s matured after operating the gauntlet by three fighters:
– Filip Hrgovic
– Jarrell Miller
– Oleksandr Usyk
– Kevin Lerena
“He’s going to convey a whole lot of aggression and starvation and I charge his means,” mentioned Anthony Joshua to Frank Warren’s Queensberry YouTube channel, speaking about IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. “I stroll in my energy in a way that I’ve to consider in myself.
Joshua had higher charge Dubois’ means as a result of he could have his ears pinned again, attacking him like a shark trying to devour him for a meal on September twenty first. If Joshua’s chin and traditionally poor stamina haven’t improved, he received’t final lengthy towards Dubois and might be smashed.
“I’ve to stroll as a King. I’ve to stroll that means as a result of everybody ought to on this life,” mentioned Joshua. “One life, you must all the time be assured. When it comes to the place he places me. I’m not anxious about it,” mentioned Joshua about Dubois, saying that he views him as a King that he should slay on September 14th.
I don’t assume Joshua sees himself as a king in a real sense. He’s conscious of the low-level opposition that his promoter, Eddie Hearn, fastened up with to convey him again from the brink of profession implosion after his two losses to Usyk.
“I’m strolling in my energy and my power. We’ll see how far that takes me on the evening. We’re going to struggle. So, I count on that,” mentioned Joshua about animosity coming from Dubois. “I would like that, and I respect that. I’m a straight warrior mindset the entire time. I’m not right here to be mates with anybody.”
