Joshua, 34, who was ringside for Dubois’ victory, warned Dubois that he would face another setback in his pursuit of a world title.

Joshua posted on Instagram, “The hardest part about my job is realising you have to ruin someone else’s dream to achieve yours.”

Dubois, 26, aiming for a second world title shot after losing to Oleksandr Usyk last August, has vowed to defeat Joshua.

He said, “That’s what I’ve been hearing (that Joshua could be next), so let’s see. (Being world champion) is a dream. I’ll demolish Joshua. I’ll get even better from here.”

Joshua, who has won his last four fights, including a second-round KO of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, acknowledged the challenge Dubois poses. “I’ve got to pick them off one by one. It’s not going to be easy, but that’s my mentality.
