    Hi Buddy.
    I always felt that Charles had a rather inflated opinion of himself, and swiftly rebuked any and all criticism of Dubois, he has a taken a fall from great heights, as he would see it, I thought he was a snake oil salesmen.
    stay safe buddy, chat soon.
    Mike.

    The unanswered questions are when is young Daniel going to go his own way and tell his dad to back off.

    Associated to that is who has so much power over young Daniel's dad they can force a fight day party, then turn up fight night and demand to be let in for free. Does someone owe money to someone?

    If young Daniel goes down the "yes man" route his career is going suffer, he needs 1-2 cream puffs and to work on his craft. To achieve that he needs the dad out the picture.

    Young Daniel still lives at home at the "family mansion" at the age of 28 and as a multi-millionaire. He's never going his own way.

    You’re such a polite poster Mike. It’s very refreshing to see.

    I agree with your comments about Charles. I hope he, and his son, learn some humility after this.

    Good. His ego grew out of control, he just didn't know when to STFU in regards to all the media appearances. He isnt actually a very good coach either.

    Respect all fighters but not harsh in this case. DDD is a world heavyweight champion who’s suffered eight knockdowns in his career to date, seven times he’s taken a knee… no trainer in the world is changing that mentality.

    If Dubious was a footballer he would 100% slide on his knees to celebrate a goal

    Those numbers actually put Dubois on par with both Fury and Joshua, which says a lot. People used to brand Lennox Lewis as “chinny” in his prime, yet his record is miles better than the heavyweights who came after him. Really, it just shows how Usyk has walked through the best this country has to offer — and the irony is, the only one who gave him real problems was Chisora.

    That said, Dubois was only truly knocked down and out by Usyk. The rest came when he was carrying serious injuries — against Joyce, he took a knee to save his career with a fractured orbital bone, and against Lerena, it was a freak knee injury. Since then, he’s absorbed the best Miller and Hrgović threw at him, proving he’s no pushover. The “lost cause” tag people slapped on him at the time just doesn’t hold up.

    The Usyk rematch was disappointing, and it’s hard to see things improving under his father’s guidance. Still, Dubois is young enough that with the right setup, he’s got time to prove the doubters wrong.

    lol Chisora didn’t give Usyk real problems. Just because he had to be quick on his feet doesn’t mean he was actually treading the line of winning or losing or coming anywhere near it. Chisora won like two rounds ffs

    Matchroom re-uploaded the fight the other week and you actually had muppets saying Chisora won.

    Won 3 rounds tops. Usyk was still settling into heavyweight. Won the fight in first gear.

    Can still remember Bellew saying it was a robbery ffs.
