    Obviously this could all be untrue but it doesn't sound good leading up to such a huge fight.

    Surely not this close to the fight, and if true, that didn't last long. He only swapped McGuigan for Charles mid last year.

    Sounds like click bait to me.

    If he injured his right hand and chooses to fight with an injury, that would be mighty ill-advised.

    He's just messing with AJ's weak mentality. Giving him a false sense of security then BANG drops the "injured" right hand on the side of his head.

    According to that great spreader of rumours himself, Michael Benson :

    "Told by a rep for Frank Warren’s Queensberry that Don Charles remains Daniel Dubois’ head trainer despite rumours to the contrary and he will indeed be in his corner as planned for the Anthony Joshua fight on Saturday night."

    As good an excuse as any, I guess.

    I think Warren and Dubois will gift the IBF title to Joshua to make Fury vs AJ a title match next year and make lots of money.

    Sounds like they are making excuses ahead of the fight. When these type of fights are happening I like to see who is out of character and it looks to me like Dubious Daniel Dubois is out of character whereas AJ seems very focussed.

    Except there's no evidence it's come from their camp.

    It's been refuted, Charles has a cold and is staying away from Dubois until closer to the fight
