Dubois was recently upgraded from interim to full IBF world champion and will make the first defence of his title against Joshua in the UK capital.
Meanwhile, AJ is aiming to become a three-time world heavyweight champion and join an elite group of boxing greats, including the man who many believe to be Britain’s best heavyweight of all time, Lewis.
Ahead of fight night, ‘The Lion’ sat down with talkSPORT’s Spencer Oliver to deliver his verdict on all-British dust-up.
“I think Anthony Joshua’s experience does give him the edge,” he told talkSPORT Boxing.
“He’s been through bigger fights. Oleksandr Usyk twice.
“The only thing is, Daniel Dubois was the only one, out of the two of them to put Oleksandr Usyk down on the floor.”
Lewis insists the fight will be won and lost on the jab.
“It all starts with the jab. Like for me, if you go out there and hit a guy with the jab, you know what the guy’s gonna do, he’s going to say, ‘I don’t like this jab’, and he’s gonna protect against it.
“When he protects against it, that’s when you start throwing the right hand.
“Now he has to protect against that.

“Then, if he’s protecting against both, then that’s where the hooks and uppercuts come in.
“And it’s who can get to that place first.”
Asked what advice he would give to Dubois if he was in his corner, Lewis replied: “To start with the jab.

“Keep your head moving. Don’t get hit by jabs and go out there and box your fight.”
If Joshua beats Dubois then he is almost certain to box Tyson Fury in the not-so-distant future.
HE Turki Alalshikh has made it clear that he is open to making the fight even if Fury loses to Oleksandr Usyk for a second time on December 21.
