Today, Beijing time (June 28), the IBF heavyweight championship match - Anthony Joshua VS Daniel Dubois battle, continued to warm up before the game, and the result successfully won everyone's attention, that is, when the two sides were having a roundtable conversation, Dubois angered Joshua, and the two almost started early.
After the roundtable conversation began, in addition to Joshua and Dubois, there were also their promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. At first, everything was fine, but when Joshua finished speaking, Dubois was not convinced, and the conflict quickly escalated.
Joshua: "Now, aside from the belt and you, I'm ready to fight. ”
Dubois: "Let's go." ”
Warren, a Dubois promoter, interjected: "Let's wait until September 21. ”
Dubois: "If you [Joshua] want to swing, we'll go now." ”
Joshua: "Shut up and relax. ”
Dubois: "If you want it now, then let's go." ”
Joshua: "Relax. ”
Dubois: "If you want it now, then go quickly." ”
Joshua: "I'll hit you in the face with a chair, don't disrespect me." ”
Dubois: "You can't scare me, who do you think you are?" ”
At this time, Joshua was clearly enraged, and he stood up, as if he wanted to step forward and beat Dubois, but Dubois did not show weakness and also stood up to respond, at which point the staff hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the clash between the two sides.
Joshua: "Don't disrespect me, I won't despise your disrespect." ”

Although they were stopped by the staff in time, Joshua and Dubois still looked full of gunpowder after sitting back in their seats, and both of them stared at each other closely, almost to the point of triggering a shock, which also foreshadowed the intensity of the battle on September 21.
For the conflict between Joshua and Dubois, no matter who provoked whom first, it was obvious that Joshua was a little uncontrollable and looked murderous, which was not a good thing for Dubois. Throughout the past, whenever Joshua is provoked, in addition to wanting to destroy the opponent, he will also become extremely calm, such as the fight with Otto Valin in December last year, and the fight with Francis Nganno in March this year, the opponent said a lot of trash talk before the fight, they obviously annoyed Joshua, Joshua turned this anger into motivation, and then vented it in the ring, and finally completely destroyed Varin and Nganno, I don't know what will happen to Dubois?
Former WBC welterweight champion Tony Belliu didn't think there would be any suspense in the fight when he predicted the Joshua vs. Dubois fight, and in his opinion, Joshua was better than he could have imagined. Belliu affirmed Dubois's quality, but stressed that Joshua was much stronger than his opponent.
"Joshua has better technique than Dubois, his attacks are more fluid, he is faster than his opponents, and he punches harder," Belliu said. Dubois is good at everything, but Joshua is even better at it and has both offense and defense. Dubois is used to pressing, he's got a lot of power, and in terms of physique, Dubois has a reasonable pace, but Joshua is a freak, he's the best athlete in the heavyweight division, even the best athlete of all time, and if you put the heavyweights in the 100-meter sprint, high jump or long jump, I can guarantee Joshua will win. ”
When predicting the Joshua vs. Belliu match, Belliu replied very clearly: "It will be over in six minutes, and I don't see any other results." ”
