A heated exchange erupted between former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and current IBF champion Daniel Dubois during a pre-fight interview on Thursday, June 27.
The two boxing giants faced off at a launch press conference ahead of their highly anticipated IBF heavyweight world title bout on September 21.
The tension was palpable as the pair refused to shake hands, setting the tone for a intense confrontation. Dubois, eager to get the fight started, taunted Joshua, saying, "If he wants to swing, let's go now." Joshua, his eyes fixed in a deathly stare, responded sharply, "Oi, shut up. Relax."
The verbal sparring continued, with Dubois goading Joshua, "If you want to go now, let's go." Joshua's response was laced with menace, "I'll throw this f***ing chair across your face. Don't disrespect me. Don't disrespect me, Daniel, don't disrespect me."
Undeterred, Dubois stood his ground, firing back, "You can't intimidate me. Who do you think you are?" Joshua, his anger escalating, rose from his seat, warning, "Daniel, don't disrespect me because I'll put this chair around your f***ing face."
The altercation ended with the two fighters being led apart, the animosity between them clear. The intense press conference has set the stage for a highly anticipated showdown on September 21.
