Much has been said about the practice sessions he had at Team GB’s Sheffield training headquarters years ago.
And many people have also joined the debate as to which of them hits harder.
Fraser Clark – who admitted he was once knocked down by Dubois – gave his insight, but claimed David Price had thrown the heaviest punch of them all.
Clarke, 33, said: Boxing Social: “It’s a really competitive, good fight. I still have AJ as the favorite.
“But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if (Dubois) isn’t the heaviest puncher I’ve been around, he’s probably in the top three or four. He can really hit.
“It’s a different punch. I think in one shot, Joshua might have done it because there’s a bit more speed to it.

“I think he was taking it easy too. One punch, in David Price’s case… unbelievable power. Unbelievable.”
Price, 41, once knocked out Joshua during a sparring session.
He retired in 2019 after a loss to 40-year-old Derek Chisora, leaving him with 25 wins, six losses and one no-contest from his 32 bouts.
Joshua, 34, is set to face Dubois, 26, on the back of three straight wins in his bid to become a three-time world champion.
