• Dubois' IBF heavyweight belt up for grabs
• Fight will have sold-out crowd of 96,000

Anthony Joshua has suggested he is "willing to die" in the ring when he fights Daniel Dubois for the IBF world heavyweight title on ­Saturday night at Wembley. As a former ­two-time world heavyweight ­champion, who has suffered three defeats in an immensely lucrative but uneven career that began nearly 11 years ago, Joshua is well versed in fight talk.

He normally shies away from making dramatic statements about the gravity of boxing but, with five days left before he steps back into the ring for his 32nd bout, Joshua acknowledged the dangers in facing a heavyweight who punches as hard as Dubois.
