When challenged to a fight, whether in the ring or on the spot, he doesn’t back down. He has maintained this mentality and it was evident when Daniel Dubois confronted him with a similar challenge by saying “we can fight now”, which led them both to stand up.

AJ is prepared to engage in a physical confrontation at any given time. He was energized back then, and his level of intensity remains unchanged.
Warren firmly believes that the occasion will be an extraordinary one at Wembley Stadium.

We anticipate a crowd exceeding 94,000 people with an electric atmosphere and numerous records shattered.
The bout must be commensurate with the event. “Dubois is still in his youth,” Warren commented, “and he will have to contend against AJ, a fighter who boasts of outstanding credentials as an Olympic gold medalist and has fulfilled all professional requirements thus far. With two prior championship titles under his belt, he aims for a triumphant third attempt at securing the crown.”
The fighters’ styles have generated excitement for the upcoming match. After all, it is often said that fights are made by styles.
