Anthony Joshua enraged at Daniel Dubois’ disrespect
AJ and DDD will clash at Wembley on September 21
The round-table interview featuring two-time world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua, joined by promoter Eddie Hearn, and newly-crowned IBF world titlist Daniel Dubois, accompanied by Frank Warren, was going so well until the frenzied ending.
Conversating calmly, 34-year-old Joshua said, “Honestly, speaking from the bottom of my heart, aside form belts and aside from it being him, I’m just ready to fight.”
Dubois responded quickly, “Let’s go.”
Long-term promoter of the Greenwich-born powerhouse quickly interjected, “But let’s wait ’til September 21st.”
But Dubois was already angered, sending this threat: “If he wants to swing, let’s go now.”
AJ quickly quipped, “Shut up, relax.”
“If you wanna go now, let’s go,” Dubois repeated, getting more heated.
It was then Joshua’s turn to get annoyed, “I’ll f***ing throw this chair across your face, don’t disrespect me.”
“You can’t intimidate me,” Dubois asserted.
“Daniel, don’t disrespect me,” AJ petitioned.
“Who do you think you are?” was Dubois’ reply.
That final line was the catalyst for AJ to stand up out of his chair to really let his voice be heard, to which Dubois jumped to his feet also and the rivals had to be pulled apart and placated.
Th Watford warrior continued to caution his competitor, “Don’t disrespect me, on my life, my boy. Dan, I don’t take disrespect lightly, you know. Don’t sit on the table and telling me we can go now and this and that.”
