Daniel Dubois will take on Anthony Joshua this weekend but rumours had spread that he had split from trainer Don Charles days before the biggest fight of his career
Daniel Dubois’ trainer Don Charles insists he will be in the heavyweight’s corner for his fight with Anthony Joshua.
Charles has been absent from all fight week events, sparking rumours online that he had been sacked by Dubois days before the biggest fight of his career. But he has now confirmed he has been confined to his bed with a cold – and that he will be at Wembley on Saturday night.
Asked by talkSPORT how he was feeling : “Well, a lot better than I was. I’ve been bedridden for the last five days. We finished camp successfully like a week ago. And then on Sunday, I felt not feeling very well. It’s a head cold, but a very bad head cold and I’ve been in bed literally trying to shake it off.
“The most sensible thing to do was not to go anywhere near my fighter because can you imagine if I gave this to him? Then there will be no fight. So, like I said, the most sensible thing is what we did. I spoke to his father, and we obviously decided the most sensible thing to do is stay away and not give this to anybody because this could easily spread right through our camp. And then, God knows who else can contract it and then it jeopardises this big show.”
