Dubois warns opponent he is ‘really dangerous’ before Wembley showdown but happy to let Frank Warren do most of the talking
Dubois warns he is ‘really dangerous’ before Wembley bout but happy to let Frank Warren do most of the talking
When it is pointed out that he has never fought in front of 96,000 people, or experienced the atmosphere that will rock Wembley, Warren jumps in. “I don’t agree with that at all,” he says. “What’s going to be different to Usyk?”, the world heavyweight champion, in the Polish city of Wroclaw. Usyk is a much more skilful and natural boxer but he was in distress and dropped to the canvas in round five after Dubois landed a heavy shot on the beltline.
Dubois grins when reminded that Eddie Hearn, Warren’s rival promoter, had suggested that the younger man’s “knees will knock” when he walks to the ring to fight Joshua. “No, no, no,” Dubois says in an unusually assertive exclamation. “We’ll feed off that energy of the crowd and make knees knock when he sees what I’m doing to his boy. It’s all part of the game. I love this back and forth talk but I’m ready to fight now.
How much has Joshua, who is now 34, declined since that apparent peak in 2017? Dubois turns to Warren: “Frank, what do you think? Has he gone down?”
