If Joshua wins, he will join an elite group of five fighters who have become three-time heavyweight champions. Only Muhammad Ali (3), Michael Moorer (3), Evander Holyfield (4), Lennox Lewis (3) and Vitali Klitschko (3) have achieved that before him.
"Dubois has a chance as he's had his last few fights in a row. This is the perfect time for him to fight in this fight, but personally I'm betting on Joshua. He'll be stronger in the ring and with a new trainer he's got his confidence back. The arsenal of both is impressive, but AJ's arsenal seems better at the moment. Under Ben Davison's guidance Joshua has relaxed a bit, he's hitting harder than he used to, but I also have a higher appreciation for his technical skills. That's why I'm betting on AJ," Hatton stated.
