What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The 33-year-old downplayed the significance of winning back the red belt, emphasising his “conqueror’s mindset” and focussing on the bigger picture.

“I always say I would always compare and look back when it’s all said and done. At the moment, I’m just very chilled. Everything’s a blessing, so I just get on with it. It’s an opportunity to fight,” Joshua told Queensberry.

“A win is a win, but for me, it’s all about the journey, not the trophy. The belt doesn’t hold any special significance for me right now. This fight is an opportunity to step closer to the ultimate goal. It’s going to be tough, but I’m focused on winning and moving on to the next challenge.”

The former Olympic gold medallist acknowledged the challenge posed by Dubois, 26, who has shown significant improvement in his stoppage victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic.

“Boxing is a tough business,” Joshua concluded. “But I’m ready. I’ve been here before, and I know what it takes to win. Dubois is a good fighter, but come fight night, it’s just another challenge that I need to overcome.”
