Former two-time unified champion Joshua enters the home stretch on a four-fight winning streak, winning his last three bouts via stoppage.
But his obituary, by Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin And Francis Ngannou has done little to convince former world champion Carl Froch, who insists the Watford warrior has not been tested since his two consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
The former WBC super-middleweight champion explains Snooker Great Stephen Hendry: “What has A.J. done since then?
“He’s fought three or four guys who didn’t even try.

“There are four guys who are here to get paid. And you can’t even say Ngannou is a good fighter.

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois: Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the huge world title fight at Wembley
“He hit him with a right hand first and Ngannou fell on his back.
“But that gives you a false sense of security.”
Despite his criticisms, Froch believes Joshua is the favourite for Saturday night’s Wembley battle.
But he still believes the London 2012 gold medallist can win.
‘The Cobra’ said: “I think Dubois comes along and beats him up.
“If he believes in himself, Dubois, and sticks to it, you could see AJ in some trouble.”
