    I have heard that Don Charles will not be in the corner as he does not think it is safe to send Dubois into the ring.

    I don't know if the right hand is broken but he can't use it.

    May add that I know of countless examples where boxers have been forced into the ring with broken hands. You typically tape the broken hand in well at the same time as giving the hand an injection so the boxer cannot feel the pain when the hand is used in combat.

    Dubois was throwing right hands on the pads yesterday without issue. Hitting pads isn't that taxing of course but if he was severely injured surely he wouldn't be doing anything to possibly aggravate it.

    I just watched a Spencer Fearon interview where he accuses Dubois’ dad of doing black magic.

    Let’s try that again.

    If this is true, and you’re a very credible poster, DDD should start playing poker.
    He’s looked extremely relaxed and confident this week. I find it hard to believe he could act that way knowing he won’t have the use of his right hand in the fight.

    Heard similar regarding Dubois’ right hand.

    Josh Kelly fought at MSG against Ray Robinson with a pre-fight broken hand.

    Dubois right hand looked alright when he slammed it on the table during the press conference.

    The Don Charles situation was far from cleared up yesterday. Dubois dad however now has his seconds license so he will officially be allowed in the corner on Saturday night and not shouting up from ringside. I’ve bet big (for me) on AJ winning inside four with SkyBet at 5-1

    I also backed that but as part of an accumulator.

    I've also had a dabble on both fighters to be knocked down in first at 175/1.
    Most opening rounds are cagey and not much thrown.
    But there's always the possibility of a flash knock down and if that happens they may get up off the floor and start to unload ( at least that's what I'm hoping for anyway haha)

    I’d be shocked if either man were to be knocked down. They’re just too muscly for that sort of thing.

    I've had £25 on:

    Joshua KO or TKO
    Cacace KO or TKO
    Sheeraz KO or TKO
    Buatsi points
    Kelly (winner by any outcome)

    Just heard Don Charles on Talksport and he defo sounds like he is full of the cold/flu so seems like it is just the usual kind of assumptions from everyone
