Former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua and current IBF champion Daniel Dubois had to be led apart after nearly coming to blows in a pre-fight interview on Thursday, June 27.
The two Brits, Joshua and Dubois who didn’t shake hands, faced off at a launch press conference as they prepared to go head-to-head in the ring for the IBF heavyweight world title on September 21.
Dubois offered to get the fight started early, saying: “If he wants to swing, let’s go now.”
Joshua, with a deathly stare back, sharply replied: “Oi, shut up. Relax.”
Dubois then said: “If you want to go now, let’s go.”
Joshua then hit back: “I’ll throw this f***ing chair across your face. Don’t disrespect me. Don’t disrespect me. Daniel, don’t disrespect me.”
Dubois refused to back down and said: “You can’t intimidate me. Who do you think you are?”
At that point, AJ stood up and warned: “Daniel, don’t disrespect me because I’ll put this chair around your f***ing face.”
Security quickly stepped in with Dubois being restrained as Joshua added: “I don’t take disrespect lightly, Dan.
