"I aim to knock him out. That's the programme. That's the mindset; that's the intention coming into this fight," Dubois told Sky Sports.

"I'm going to focus my whole life on destroying him and just being a good destroyer, a good conqueror. Don't wait. Go out there. Smash him."  

Joshua, 33, is riding a wave of momentum after four consecutive victories, including a knockout win over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
