Joshua admitted at the event that although he was feeling tense about the fight, his body was in good condition and he felt he could continue boxing for another four years.
“I’m tense,” he told DAZN on the red carpet. “I’m tense. The fight’s around the corner – I don’t forget that the fight’s around the corner. This is chilled though. We’re not fighting today so I’m chilled.”
Speaking to Sky Sports, Dubois said he was feeling “in the right place at the right time” to take on Joshua and defend his IBF belt, adding that he needed to “stay in his bubble and stay focused.”
