Pre-Fight Drama Unfolds
Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois found themselves on the brink of a physical altercation three months before their highly anticipated world title super-fight. The heavyweight boxers will face off on September 21 at Wembley stadium in what is expected to be a record-breaking event.
Spicy Face-Off
The tension between Joshua and Dubois escalated in a pre-fight face-off in a nearby arena, with Joshua eventually walking away from the heated exchange. Despite the competitive nature of boxing, Joshua emphasized his background as a street fighter, warning Dubois of his capabilities.
Jet Lag and Fractious Moments
Dubois attributed the intense encounter to jet lag after a long flight back from Brazil. The 26-year-old boxer had to cut short his trip to announce the fight, leading to a tense interaction with Joshua, whom he once sparred with in Sheffield.
Promoters React
Famed promoter Frank Warren, who oversees Dubois' career, witnessed the altercation and believes his fighter has the upper hand. Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, revealed that the tension was so palpable that the two boxers had to be separated to avoid a physical confrontation.
