And things have already gotten heated, as the face-to-face interview has nearly descended into chaos.
The two threatened to start a fight after they hurled words at each other during a sit-down conversation, forcing security personnel to intervene.
It has set up a shootout in the ring – but Hearn expects his opponent to come out on top.
They told Boxing scene: “Both of them will let go of their hands.
“Both are very dangerous. Some people call it a ‘shootout’. But I think AJ is the top sniper.
“He’s very accurate; he’s very good; and I think if you’re going to get hit against Anthony Joshua, you’re going to have serious problems, and AJ isn’t going to stand in front of him like Filip Hrgovic and just hit shots.
“These are two very dangerous heavyweight punchers who are in the best form and confidence of their careers.
” For Dubois, the Miller and Hrgović fight has 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 highlight for me are the two huge punctures at their absolute peak.”
Dubois, 26, won the interim title by defeating Hrgovic, 32, in June.
He was made full champion after 37-year-old Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title following his win over 35-year-old Tyson Fury ahead of their December 21 rematch.
Meanwhile, Joshua, 34, suffered a big defeat to former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37, in March.
