Anthony Joshua said he is “still in the battlefield” and quashed any suggestion of nearing the end of his career as the Briton weighed in heaviest for Saturday’s world-title challenge against Daniel Dubois<\/b><\/p>\n
Two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua, 34, takes on Dubois, 27, for the IBF belt at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Joshua tipped the scales at 18st<\/a> during an elaborate weigh-in at Trafalgar Square, with Dubois at a career-heavy 17st 10lb.<\/p>\n “I look at myself as a gladiator and I’m going to step into the arena tomorrow to perform for the people,” Joshua said.<\/p>\n “I started late in boxing but it shows you can achieve anything. I’m not a warrior in the garden yet, I’m still on the battlefield.”<\/p>\n The central London landmark was cordoned off for arguably Britain’s most extravagant fight week location ever.<\/p>\n Double decker buses and black cabs provided the backdrop, with Nelson’s Column towering behind a stage placed between the two iconic fountains.<\/p>\n Greenwich-born Dubois – just as he was at Thursday’s news conference<\/a> – kept his words to a minimum.<\/p>\n “I’m ready to fight,” he repeated three times.<\/p>\n The world title fight will be broadcast live from 19:00 BST on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
