Anthony Joshua shows off hulking frame as Eddie Hearn says heavyweight star is ‘more than ready’ for Daniel Dubois fight
ANTHONY JOSHUA is “more than ready” for his world title fight against Daniel Dubois as Eddie Hearn showed off AJ’s hulking frame.
Joshua challenges for Dubois’ IBF belt on September 21 at Wembley.
And he is in tremendous shape just two weeks out as he posed topless alongside promoter Hearn in the gym.
Hearn posted on Instagram: “Good catch up with @anthonyjoshua today – More than ready!!!!! And the new!”
Joshua, 34, bids to become a three-time heavyweight champion when he challenges British rival Dubois, 26.
And Hearn insisted AJ – only ever beaten by Andy Ruiz Jr and Oleksandr Usyk – has no fear of defeat.
He said: “The vibe I get is that the fear of losing is not really there any more.
“Because of the Ruiz and Usyk defeats you’ve been there and experienced that and know how much it hurts.
“We don’t look at this fight and think the pressure’s on because if you lose to Dubois, what could happen? We’re just excited for the fight.
“AJ’s having a great camp, he’s working well with Ben Davison and is firing on all cylinders.

“No fear of losing. At this stage he takes on all challengers and this one just happens to have a world championship attached to him.
“It’s a dangerous fight and it will be really interesting to see if Dubois can handle the pressure because I know he boxed against Usyk in Poland, but this is going to be a moment that makes his knees knock.
“You need to have not just a big set of bollocks, but also a really strong mind to compose yourself in those moments.
“Whatever the gameplan is, I think he’ll struggle to adopt it in there.”
