Then why didn`t he repeat that claim when asked in their face off? Warren kept saying it doesn`t matter what happened in sparring because Dubois age, why didn`t he answer AJ who pulled him up on his old claim that he dropped AJ?
Because Daniel didn't want to embarress AJ anymore. They had an arm wrestle with the cameras off also with Daniel won both left and right hand.
I wouldn’t take anything Dubois says seriously. The guy obviously has some significant mental impairments.
He's the biggest simpleton in boxing, which is saying something. Much of that interview was so awkward because Dubois seems incapable of saying anything beyond basic sentences and smiling dumbly as Eddie Hearn kept backhand-complimenting him. It's possible AJ created some false drama at the end there because otherwise there'd have been absolutely nothing to talk about from that face off. Probably got frustrated because facing off against Dubois is such a waste of everyone's time.
Common man, we don't need their intellectual capabilities as they are fighters and not some goddamn rocket scientists. As far as I am concerned, I only give a f about what happens in the ring. War AJ
As I've been saying for years, they should reserve these face offs for fighters who have big personalities and charisma or at least if one of them does. No one is ever going to say that about either of those two. Dubois might be shy, dull and not the brightest spark but he's a nice lad. AJ has no charisma at all and his roadman act just comes across as fake as his Mr super nice guy one only even more cringe. There's a reason why they had E-Hearn and Big Frank there as opposed to AJ and Dubois by themselves as there was for them having to try and spice it up with the fake confrontation at the end. I'm sure it was done more for Dubois' benefit than AJ's but the later still needs a Whyte or a Miller to make a face off with him interesting.
Eddie's mind games, didn't work. When Hearn gets into the arena fight night, it won't just be Warren and his heavies, it will be Daniel's dad too.
I don't think he's a simpleton, I don't think he puts any value on interviews or media attention. That'll have to change if he beats Joshua because he'll be in the spotlight and he'll need some media training.
He`s just not cut out for that kind of stuff, he didn`t like the fact that their talking was upstaging the fight, it`s very unusual to have managers present during a face off, it was humiliating, Warren clearly didn`t trust Dubois to do a face off one on one with AJ, he`s a very poor talker.
He can get all that training whilst waiting to be checked out of hospital after the AJ fight. Dubois will get annihilated imo.
