Rivals threatened to get the fight on early after trading words in the sit down interview.

EDDIE HEARN has issued a warning to Daniel Dubois ahead of his heated Battle of Britain fight against Anthony Joshua.

Dubois defends his IBF heavyweight title against AJ at Wembley on September 21.

Promoter Eddie Hearn poses with Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

The face-to-face interview nearly devolved into anarchy, as tensions were already high.

After a heated exchange during the interview, the two threatened to fight, prompting security to step in.

It sets up a shootout in the ring, but Hearn believes his guy will emerge victorious.

He told BoxingScene, “Both will let their hands go.”

“Both are very dangerous. Some people call it a ‘shootout’. But I think AJ’s top sniper.

“He’s too accurate; he’s too good; and I think if you’re going to get hit against Anthony Joshua you’re going to have serious problems, and AJ’s not gonna stand in front of him like Filip Hrgovic and just ship shots.

“It’s two very dangerous heavyweight punchers, who are in the form and confidence of their career.

“For Dubois, the Miller and the Hrgovic fight have taken him to the most dangerous point of his career so far.

“It’s not a good time to fight Dubois, and it’s definitely not a good time to fight AJ.

“The key points for me are two massive punchers in their absolute primes.”

Dubois, 26, overcame Hrgovic, 32, to win the interim title in June.

Oleksandr Usyk, 37, relinquished his title following his victory over Tyson Fury, 35, ahead of their rematch on December 21.

Joshua, 34, is coming off a devastating KO of former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37, in March.
