Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois look in sensational shape ahead of their heavyweight showdown.

Dubois and Joshua are set to do battle in a titanic tussle for the former’s IBF heavyweight title in a record-breaking event at Wembley Stadium on September 21.

The two powerful heavyweights have been known for being in elite shape for their fights, and it is no different as their domestic clash approaches.

Joshua was the first to post his huge physique, as he showed off huge arms and a ripped six-pack in a post on social media.

It was captioned: “Don’t worry about being popular. Worry about being the best in class.”

Dubois recently responded with his own topless photo showing off his own huge and ripped physique during a recent gym workout.

He too looked in sensational nick, and added in his caption: “When power meets precision.”

Fans were stunned with how the pair looked physically, with one writing: “They both look huge.”

Another was quick to back Joshua, writing: “That Dubois does not stand a chance. Joshua looks impressive.”

One wrote: “RIP Daniel Dubois.”

Other fans were not so sure, with one adding: “Starting to lean towards Dubois late mid-round stoppage.”

A user agreed: “I've got a strong feeling Dan you can win this fight. You have all the attributes to beat AJ. Speed, power and heart.”

But one concluded: “Power and precision are important, but don't neglect defence against a world-class finisher like AJ.”

It is a big opportunity for Joshua who is looking to become a three-time heavyweight world champion.

But ‘Dynamite’ will look to succeed and begin a passing of the torch, as he looks to set up a potential undisputed clash with the winner of Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch with Tyson Fury.

AJ will be favourite given his scintillating form in the last 12 months stopping Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou under the new stewardship of Ben Davison.

And mutual sparring partner of the pair, Matty Harris, believes Joshua’s experience gives him that edge.

"I think Joshua might have a little bit too much experience for Dubois,” he told Pro Boxing Fans.

“Dubois isn't gonna walk him down the way he walked Hrgovic down. I know Hrgovic can punch, but his shots, a lot of them were fast and he looked off balance.

“Dubois will be a little bit more measured because he knows he can't get hit that clean off of Joshua, but if he's more measured that kind of plays into Joshua's hands.

"I'm gonna just call it and say I think Joshua knocks him out. I don't think Dubois has got a good enough defence, he's pretty straightforward.

“I've made up my mind – I think Joshua knocks him spark out within eight rounds."
