Dubois Shakes the Room, Rejects Face-Off with Joshua.

Posted 2 months ago

Daniel Dubois, clearly frustrated, slammed the table and refused to engage with Anthony Joshua during a low-key press conference in London.

The two will face off in front of a record 96,000 crowd at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Dubois, who claimed the interim IBF title in June and became world champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated, emphasized the importance of defending his belt. "I have to keep this title," he said. "It’s great, but winning this fight is what will make me legit."

Confident in his momentum, Dubois stated, "No more talk—just punches. I'm here to fight and destroy."

The 27-year-old seemed eager to wrap up the press conference, while the composed Joshua, 34, kept things respectful.

When talk shifted to an old sparring session where Dubois supposedly rattled Joshua, the champion responded, "That was sparring—this is a fight. It's different." Dubois cut in with, "Move on," before banging the table in frustration.
