Wardley v Dubois: Inside the Dubois Camp

[upbeat music] This is Five Live Boxing.

Steve Bunce· Host0:04

So the heavyweight buildup continues in Manchester. Yesterday, it was an open-top bus. Today, it's a public workout in a sandpit in the middle of town. Honest, I'm not kidding you. Yesterday, we heard from Fabio Wardley. Today, we hear from Daniel Dubois and his coach, Don Charles. Daniel's on a mission to regain the heavyweight championship of the world. It's big fight week in Manchester. It's a heavyweight week. I'm Steve Bunce, and this is Five Live Boxing. [upbeat music] So sometimes you get sent to interview fighters, sometimes you're in a basement. Like if you go and do Scott Welsh down on, on the South Coast, it's below sea level. And then other times, you can be on the 38th floor. Once did Naseem Hamed and Brendan Ingle on the 38th floor in New York. But what I love about coming out to the countryside, to Don Charles's retreat, is that there are horses, and in the background, there's Wembley, there's all sorts of other stuff. And today, the sun's come out. I've gotta tell you, Don, today would be a good day to sit around and talk about horses and talk about life and stuff. But we are, suppose we are gonna talk about life. We're gonna talk about Daniel Dubois. But, but first of all, how are you, Don?

Don Charles· Guest1:12

I'm doing mighty fine. When the weather is like this- [laughs] ... I'm good.

Steve Bunce· Host1:16

Puts a smile on your face, doesn't it?

Don Charles· Guest1:17

And, and e- exactly, and everybody's moods.

Steve Bunce· Host1:19

Yeah.

Don Charles· Guest1:19

Everybody's in a good mood.

Steve Bunce· Host1:20

Don, you're back with Daniel. He had a brief period when he wasn't with you. He didn't have a fight, but he wasn't with you, and he's back with you. Um, I've got a, a simple question, really. You know him
