Don Charles, the seasoned trainer of former heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs), recently shared his insights in an interview with local media. During the conversation, he touched upon his protégé’s upcoming bout against fellow countryman and WBO champion Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs), which is scheduled for May 9th. Furthermore, Charles also commented on the constant speculation surrounding Oleksandr Usyk’s “desired fight,” remarking that such chatter “goes in one ear and out the other,” implying he gives it little importance or considers it a distraction from current tasks.
