EDDIE HEARN has issued a warning to Daniel Dubois ahead of his heated Battle of Britain fight against Anthony Joshua.
Dubois defends his IBF heavyweight title against AJ at Wembley on September 21.
ReutersAnd the build up is already heating up when the face-to-face interview almost descended into chaos.
The two threatened to get the fight on early after trading words in the sit down interview – forcing security to intervene.
It sets the scene for a shootout in the ring – but Hearn is backing his man to come off best.
He told BoxingScene: “Both are going to be letting their hands go.
“Both are very dangerous. Some people call it a ‘shootout’. But I think AJ’s top sniper.
“He’s too accurate; he’s too good; and I think if you’re going to get hit against Anthony Joshua you’re going to have serious problems, and AJ’s not gonna stand in front of him like Filip Hrgovic and just ship shots.
“It’s two very dangerous heavyweight punchers, who are in the form and confidence of their career.
“For Dubois, the Miller and the Hrgovic fight have taken him to the most dangerous point of his career so far.

“It’s not a good time to fight Dubois, and it’s definitely not a good time to fight AJ.
“The key points for me are two massive punchers in their absolute primes.”
Dubois, 26, won the interim title in an upset over Hrgovic, 32, in June.
He was elevated to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk, 37, vacated it in the aftermath of his win over Tyson Fury, 35, ahead of their December 21 rematch.
Joshua, 34, meanwhile is coming off a huge KO of ex-UFC champ Francis Ngannou, 37, in March.
