Brit star set for huge Wembley encounter against Daniel Dubois

Eddie Hearn has hailed Anthony Joshua in a one-word tribute to the British boxer. 

Joshua headlines Wembley Stadium on Saturday as he bids to become a three-time world champion by downing IBF title holder Daniel Dubois. 

In the build-up to the clash, Eddie Hearn was challenged by Mail Sport to describe a series of boxers in one word - including his man Joshua and opponent Dubois. 

Before getting onto Saturday night's main event fighters, Hearn described Tyson Fury as 'Character', while his upcoming opponent Oleksandr Usyk was called 'Genius'.

Jake Paul was labelled as 'Smart', and Frank Warren as 'My mate', but he saved the biggest compliment for Joshua, calling the challenger a 'Legend'. 

Although he gave Dubois his dues, too, by describing the current champion as 'Handful', before ending the game by using the word 'Chancer' when asked to sum up himself in one word.
