Joshua is vowing to become heavyweight champion at Wembley.

Anthony Joshua will look to become a three-time heavyweight champion this weekend by beating Daniel Dubois for his IBF crown. 

The showdown is set to be in front of a record crowd for a British boxing event, as ninety-six thousand ascend on Wembley Stadium.

In the build-up to the fight, Joshua has shown a new side to him, with tempers flaring during press calls between the pair, and talking to SportsBoom, former British boxer John Ryder thinks the new look is working for AJ. 

He said: "Daniel is usually very relaxed but produced a bit of a surprise when he offered Anthony outside at the first press call a while ago. He probably expected AJ to ignore it but instead he offered him outside.

“That showed a different side to Anthony, one not many people might have seen before. He seems in a good place and a happy fighter is a dangerous fighter.

“He's been here before and it won't be new for him. But then again, like AJ, Daniel is on a really good run of form.”
