ANTHONY JOSHUA has warned Daniel Dubois he is willing to suffer in the ring in his pursuit of becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion.

Joshua faces IBF title holder Dubois in front of a British record 96,000 crowd at Wembley on Saturday with the aim of earning a shot against the winner of Tyson Fury’s December rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Defeats to Andy Ruiz and Usyk have forced the 34-year-old to rebuild his career and, while he views big-punching rival Dubois as a dangerous opponent, he insists his determination sets him apart.
