Tyson Fury in April 2023 broke the British attendance record when 94,000 people packed Wembley to see him knock out Dillian Whyte.
But prosecutors expect more than 100,000 people to watch AJ’s domestic altercation with Dubois.
Warren said in talkSPORT: “Oh, it’s huge. I mean, we’ll be signing up to increase capacity like we did last time when Tyson Fury fought Dillian Whyte.
“And I think we did it, I think we’ll probably break that record. So it looks really good.”
Joshua, 34, is no stranger to big, sold-out stadium shows, with more than 90,000 spectators at Wembley in 2017, when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko.
He also brought 75,000 to Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and another 62,000 to Tottenham’s football ground.
But his last two fights have been in Saudi Arabia, with knockout victories over Otto Wallin, 33, and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37.
Since then, Fury, 35, has been defeated by Oleksandr Usyk, 37, who was crowned undisputed champion.

But to proceed to the rematch planned for December 21st, Usyk had to vacate the IBF belt.
Dubois, 26, was promoted from interim champion following his victory over Filip Hrgovic, 32.
And with a win over Jarrell Miller, 35, trainer Don Charles and promoter Warren are full of confidence.
Warren said: “A lot of people are making AJ a favorite, and they’re saying AJ is a big puncher and so on and I hope he goes out and comes to fight because if he lets those big punches go, I know this will go away. he exposed.
“If Daniel hits him, it will knock him out. I think Daniel is the biggest puncher.
“Daniel, Don and I have talked about this a lot and we think it’s a battle of jabs and I think whoever is throwing those jabs and feeling comfortable is going to set up the big shots and let them go.
“But I really think Daniel can win this, he’s a young man, he’s faced better opponents in the last three fights than AJ.
“And by the way, AJ has been good in his last few fights, but not against opponents as good as Daniel.
“Daniel dealt with them and stopped them and had some moments in the fights where he got caught.
“Certainly in the early stages of Hrgovic’s fight, but he did a job on him.”
