‘Dubois could fall asleep like Ngannou vs Joshua,’ says Hearn
Daniel Dubois cannot afford to make “one mistake” in his fight with Anthony Joshua or risk a knockout like Francis Ngannou, Eddie Hearn has warned.
Hearn and Frank Warren are joining forces to promote Joshua’s Saturday fight with IBF heavyweight champion Dubois at Wembley Stadium.
The 27-year-old rose from interim champion to the full belt shortly after stopping Filip Hrgovic in June, while “AJ” is on a three-fight stoppage streak.
Joshua demolished former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou over two rounds in March, five months after the 38-year-old defeated Tyson Fury, before suffering a controversial split decision defeat.
Hearn insists Dubois will suffer a similar fate to the Cameroonian if he makes any mistakes.
“People want to discredit Ngannou, but look what he did against Fury,” the matchroom chairman said Heavenly sports.
“I think he beat him. Anthony made it a mismatch and he needed a cushion.
“If Daniel Dubois wants to get hit with a right hand and wants to make sloppy mistakes, the same thing that happened to Ngannou will happen to him.
“If you get hit by Anthony Joshua right now, you’ll fall asleep.
“If Daniel Dubois comes out aggressively like he did against [Filip] Hrgovic, you’re going to get shot.
“And if he makes one mistake, it’ll be Daniel Dubois’ night.”
Much of the build-up to the fight centred around ‘Dynamite’ dropping the Watford man during a sparring session that took place seven years ago when both fighters were in Team GB.
Hearn, who has promoted the 34-year-old since he turned professional after winning gold at the 2012 Olympics, says the significance of the rumours is overstated.
“When they [Queensberry] signed Dubois, there was a narrative going around that Dubois had flattened AJ,” Hearn said. Professional boxing fans.
“Now all of a sudden we find out he rocked him with a left hook, AJ took a quick walk around the ring and then continued sparring.
“If you get seriously injured during sparring, you don’t continue with the spar.
“The fact that they were holding the pole tells you all you need to know about how badly he was injured.
“I’m sure he was pissed off during sparring, not just with Daniel Dubois but with all sorts of different people, because those are huge heavyweights and when you get hit right in the chin, that’s what happens.”
