    Dubios, who was 20 years old and 5-0 when it happened floored AJ in sparring. It seems like AJ is no stranger to the canvas depending on which source you are reading. In this case, the source is Ring Magazine.

    Dubois is the future. His last opponent, he beat faster than AJ beat him.
    AJ is a big stiff idiot.

    Warren will make a him champ in 2019.

    you would think that in todays day and age there would be some kind of proof in these stories. Easy for someone to say "yeah I knocked him out"

    I was in Tesco yesterday grabbing some post Xmas bargains when Vitali Klitschko jumped the queue so I gave him a left hook and laid him out cold.

    True story honestly 100% it happened.

    Could mean that DuBois is a cheap shot artist. KOing somebody in sparring means that you don't know what you're doing and most top trainers would send you packing for doing it.

    This old news

    First of all there’s no proof that it happened but even if it did it means nothing.

    Secondly, what goes on in sparring stays there or it should, it’s part of the etiquette of sparring so it’s a bit of a shïthòuse thing for Dubois to big himself up over it.

    Further if it did happen, who knows what they were working on at the time and who knows what instructions Joshua was following, that’s what sparring is for, it’s practice, a time for trying out stuff.

    Also, Danny Dubois is 6’5”, 230lbs and has shown himself to be heavy handed so he’s going to rock anyone he catches clean

    Finally, if we’re going to tell stories about sparring then let’s talk Klitschko and Wilder as well

    Lots of people admit this happened. Even AJ himself.

    Getting knocked down by a big hitter like Dubois in sparring is not exactly unheard of.

    It’s what happens Fight night that matters.

    You seriously think Dubois is better than the likes of Hrgovic, Usyk, Teslenko, Dychko... I don't see it.

    Everyone and their mother has supposedly floored Joshua, yet he still performs in the ring and by all accounts is the #1 HW in the world. None of this will matter(even if it's true) until it actually happens on fight night.
