Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois made their Grand Arrivals ahead of their IBF Heavyweight Clash on Saturday.

Joshua aims to become a three-time world champion by picking up Dubois’ IBF belt. He is in good form, with stoppage wins in his last two fights against Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou. Those stoppage wins materialized once he teamed up with Ben Davidson, giving the perception that Joshua is back to his best with a more offensive style.

Dubois became the IBF Heavyweight Champion once Usyk vacated. Dubois has been rejuvenated since his loss to Usyk. He has stoppage victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in his previous two fights. The winner knows they will have a shot at undisputed against the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. The two fighters were locked in ahead of the fight.

Joshua Vs. Dubois

“It’s really a blessing. It’s a big blessing. We’re the most important thing for people right now so they’re all here coming out to have a good time with us. It makes me feel important. Nah not at all because I’ll never forget, I started boxing late, so I used to, well I still do, look up to a lot of people.

“I can put myself on the other side of the fence. I’ve been on the other side of the fence. I haven’t always been on the red carpet. I always understand now I’m on the red carpet, how to treat people. I’m never going to turn my nose up at people. That’s just not my style.

“Massive. It doesn’t feel it at the minute because I’m still in like training camp. On Saturday I’m going to be standing behind a curtain and they’re going to say, ‘Anthony – ten seconds’, and I’m going to walk out into the stadium and I’m going to feel that energy. That’s when it gets real. At the minute we’re still hours away so I’m chilled out.

“Me mentality is, if I draw a line and put fear on one side, and confidence on the other, but I’m still going into the ring – what one am I going to choose? I’m confident. I believe in myself, and I think that’s the right mentality to have.

“100% I’ve never had a red carpet in my life. This is a blessing. They’re doing big things. It’s good that we’re doing joint ventures together now. I’ve been in Saudi, it’s good to be home. It’s not small, they’ve made it massive. I’m fighting a Queensberry Promotions fighter as well so it’s a new age for boxing – a golden era if you ask me. I hope that the next generation coming through can benefit from all of this as well. It’s not just about our generation,” Joshua

“I’m feeling good, confident. I’m just relaxed and soaking it all up. Soaking up the energy, it’s good. I’m just going to feed off of that energy and build it up. I can’t wait for it. It’s my time. I’m ready for it.

“You guys are going to see that this is my time. I’m the man. I need to go out there and legitimise it. I’m the champ. Yes, by any means necessary. Victory – that’s it,” Dubois
