Charles and the rest of Dubois’ team later broke out into Stevie Wonder’s ‘Happy Birthday’ and presented a cake with the face of upcoming opponent AJ to ‘Triple D’.

But Dubois wasn’t in the mood for a singsong, shouting “Stop the music” before punching the tasty-looking cake with his right hand.

The soften-spoken but heavy-handed Dubois then roared “This is business.”

Charles couldn’t quite believe it, jokingly saying: “Be nice, it’s your birthday.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA punched his way to the top of the world before being knocked off his perch.

Another chimed in: “The lack of respect he’s showing to AJ is going to come back on him big time.

“You’d think after the [Joe] Joyce / [Oleksandr] Usyk losses he’d be a bit more humble & respect the game more, but trying to force a deep rivalry with AJ isn’t the one.”

Dubois will bid to make the maiden defence of his IBF heavyweight title against Joshua at Wembley on September 21.

A whopping 96,000 fans will pack out the home of English football for the huge domestic dust-up

And Dubois is hellbent on ushering in a new era at heavyweight by knocking former two-time unified champ AJ out cold.

He said: “AJ’s been the king for a long time and on the night, I need to become a king slayer.

“Ad that’s my goal, that’s the mission at hand.

“I’m learning more about myself as a fighter, as a person, coming out of the darkness and into the light, improving all around as a fighter and as an athlete.

“I’m up for this and ready to go.”
