Frank Warren intentionally In December 2023, he threw Daniel Dubois against Jarrell Miller in December 2023.
First of all: the great American is physically challenging.
Secondly: Warren knew that Miller would personally be in a conversation with garbage and go to the mind of Dubois whenever he could.
“I knew that Miller would try to do everything in his power to intimidate him in front of the ring,” said Warren before the fight of Dubois with Oleksander Usyk in London on Saturday.
“I just wanted to force him to exacerbate a mental tightening.”

– in the Usyk camp: behind the scenes with the heavyweight champion
Veteran the promoter had to know what he would be able to do. He was accused of giving up the defeat of Joe Joyce in 2022 and against Usyk in their first clash in 2023.
Warren wanted to know if he was a warrior or a runner.
Dubois was still looking at the crowd during a stool between rounds. Warren, observing the ring in Saudi Arabia, noticed that he was looking for his dad, Dave (also known as Stanley).
“I went and pulled him [Dave] Out crowd, said Warren. – Don [Charles] He talked to [Daniel] And Don is a good trainer; Don does everything on the spot. But my moment was: it is a voice he listens. “
Sitting side by side, talking to the media before another great opportunity Wembley, Warren and Dubois discuss the key moment.
“From an early age … he is more than a father for you, right? It’s a voice you hear,” says Warren. “So we shout at your dad:” Sobrating stabs, throw your right hand “and that’s how it was. And he has been in the corner since then, right? “
Daniel agrees with a radiant smile.
“If you can’t do it for your dad, who can you do it for?” says.
Dubois won by knockout with 10 seconds in a fight, which was as brutal and exhausting as expected.
This changed his career forever.
Even if they didn’t know it, Dave proved that the turning point and his influence on the 27-year-old could not be overestimated. They both have an extremely close relationship.
His father is also the leitmotif of Daniel in front of the ring just like that night against Miller in 2023 and is still in him.
After defeating Miller in a dramatic way, Dubois faced Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, winning both fights through the knockout. Unusual series of 3 wins in 10 months; Unprecedented for newfangled heavyweight.
It was Dave who connected Dubois with Charles before the first fight with Usyk in Poland. Despite the losing by knockout, the relationship flourished.
“Seriously, I was in the desert,” says Charles. “I say it privately, I say it in public, I owe his father and [Daniel]. They brought me from the desert. It is all supposed to be.
“It is almost unreal that we are coming back again. Wembley will repeat it again.”
Charles is a believing in the power of the universe and destiny, which, he claims, led him to Dubois and his father.
“It’s about destiny. I wasn’t at the beginning of his professional career, but the path goes as far as he goes, he [Dave] He said he dreamed of it.
“He had a dream and everything he told me that he was fair, he had become before him.”
Warren jokes: “Does he know what he will win 2.30 in Kempton [races] Tomorrow.”
Fight against Usyk is not only fulfilling the destiny of Dubois, but revenge, his team feels during the first fight.
Charles maintains that Usyk is cheating in Poland, reaching the body of Dubois, which was considered low and illegal. Usyk was allowed to recover just below four minutes. He still divides the opinion.
“You tied us. You combined the judge. You combined the boxing world,” Charles announced at the first press conference of the rematch in April.
“God called you to come back here, that our son Daniel Dubois would take revenge on you here.
“You [Usyk] Go as one of the great generations … but you won’t cheat. “
Usyk and his team maintain that it was an illegal shot.
Whatever you think about a blow, it’s in the past. Intigue surrounds the future and Dubois date for purpose.
