Much has been made of Anthony Joshua’s recent form with plenty of fans and pundits believing the former champion is back to his best.

Questions have been asked of ‘AJ’ since suffering back-to-back losses to newly crowned undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk.

The 34-year-old has gone through four different trainers in his last six fights but now seems to have found the right fit with ex-Tyson Fury coach, Ben Davison.

Under Davison Joshua has delivered two punch perfect performances against Otto Wallin and former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou.

One man who isn’t believing the hype is newly crowned heavyweight champion, and AJ’s next opponent, Daniel Dubois.

Dubois is coming off a career best win, defeating Filip Hrgovic to capture the IBF ‘interim’ title. With Usyk not being able to fulfil his mandatory duties due to a contracted rematch with Fury, the Ukrainian vacated the title and Dubois was elevated to full champion.

In an interview with BoxNation, ‘DDD’ says he will turn Joshua into an old man when the two meet,

“I don’t know. I feel like his best days are maybe behind him or whatever, but I’ve got to turn him into an old man in the ring. I’ve got to put the pressure on him and unleash everything I’ve got on him.

I’ve got to become a shining light and just go into the light out of the darkness and do what I know I can do. I’ve had bumps along the journey but I’m back where I should be.

I predict a finish and an amazing performance but win by any means necessary.”

Dubois will defend his title against Joshua on September 21 at Wembley stadium as headliner to a stacked card.
