Anthony Joshua, the renowned boxer, has recently addressed the rumors surrounding his sparring session with Daniel Dubois back in 2016. In light of their upcoming fight for the IBF heavyweight title, Joshua has come forth to clear the air and put an end to speculations that have been circulating for years.
The story in question is about a sparring session between the two fighters eight years ago, where it was said that an 18-year-old Dubois knocked out Joshua with a powerful left hook, causing his legs to give out. This story has been repeatedly denied by Joshua, who believes that the person who shared it has been labeled as a "snake."
In an interview with talkSPORT, former member of Team GB Boxing, Anthony Fowler, claimed that Joshua was severely hurt by Dubois during that sparring session. He even suggested that Dubois could have knocked Joshua out again but chose not to out of respect. However, Joshua has strongly refuted these claims, stating that a coach from the gym called him after hearing the interview and expressed his dissatisfaction with Fowler's version of events.
Joshua also joked that Fowler's comments were just a ploy to promote his CBD products. He went on to say that although he has sparred with numerous people in his career, he vaguely remembers his session with Dubois, where he was hit by a good left hook. Joshua then questioned why Dubois did not throw another punch if he had the opportunity to knock him out.
Fowler, in response to Joshua's comments, took to social media and clarified that he has no reason to lie and that he believes Joshua will win the fight. However, he also acknowledged that Dubois is a formidable opponent who could come out victorious due to his youth and strength. Fowler also laughed off Joshua's mention of his CBD products, stating that he is simply telling the truth and that it doesn't matter anymore since the fight will ultimately determine the better fighter.
In conclusion, Anthony Joshua has put the rumors to rest and is focused on his upcoming fight with Daniel Dubois. His rebuttal to the claims made by Fowler has shed light on the true events of their sparring session, and fans are eagerly waiting to see who will emerge as the victor on Saturday.
