AJ released images of his training camp, showing off his hulking arms and abs popping out through his sweat-soaked top.
Needless to say fans are concerned for his opponent as one said: “Good luck to Dubois because he’s going into retirement early.”
Another added: “I did not no who motivated Dubois to fight this guy.”
One person yelled, “He’s gotten that aura back.”
Joshua, 34, has a chance to become a three-time champion after Dubois, 26, was promoted from the interim IBF belt to the regular version.
That’s because Oleksandr Usyk, 37, vacated it to pursue his planned December 21 rematch with Tyson Fury, 35, following his May victory.
Frank Warren, Dubois’ promoter, stated that the victor of September’s all-British contest will face Usyk or Fury.
Warren told Sky Sports: “All roads will lead to unification again.
“He’s [Usyk] getting a massive payday for the rematch that he was contracted for against Tyson.
“That’s what the position is. It’s pure business as far as he’s concerned. If it was about holding on to the belts, then he wouldn’t have relinquished.
“He’s in it for the money and obviously the rematch is a massive, massive fight, which everyone wants to see. It was such a closely fight last time, it’s a bigger fight now in December.
“Whatever happens, the winner of this fight on September 21, which will be Daniel, will fight the winner of that fight, and the four belts will be back on the line again.”
