So the heavyweight build-up continues in Manchester.
How does Daniel Dubois prepare for his upcoming fight?
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 so sometimes you get sent to interview fighters sometimes you're in a basement like if you go and do scott welsh down and on the south coast it's below sea level and other times you can be on the 38th floor once did nassim hamid and brendan ingle on the 38th floor in new york but what i love about coming out to the countryside
to Don Charles' 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 got to 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 supposed, we are going to talk about life. We're going to talk about Daniel Dubois.
But first of all, how are you, Don? I'm doing mighty fine. When the weather is like this, I'm good. Puts a smile on your face, doesn't he? Exactly, and everybody's moods. Everybody's in a good mood.
Don, you're back with Daniel. in a brief period when he wasn't with you, didn't have a fight, but he wasn't with you, and he's back with you. I've got a simple question, really. You know him probably better than any other trainer. How does he look? How is Daniel Daniel?
Yeah, Daniel, like you quite rightly said, I've got to know the kid really well over the past. This is actually the third year that we've been working together, irrespective of the break that we had. I've got to know, I knew the kid before, and I know him even better now, as time's gone on. Yeah, he's not just a, you might look at someone physically, they look okay. So mentally, they're not all right. We spoke about this off camera. Of course, yeah. But I really genuinely believe his head is okay. Because you never know. Afterwards. a loss like that to Usyk last summer that's a big loss devastating loss to the fighter to the team but I've done all the with my experience I know all the signs whether someone is alright or not so you can see you can literally tell by the way he walks through the door the way he puts his bag down the way he says hello to the people in the gym there's all sorts of little tells and signs as they say in poker correct if you know somebody which I believe I know him
And he knows me. And yeah, I can see all the things. It's like business as usual. He's fine. He really is fine. And it helps when you come from, have a family background where people that love you. And I think every boxer will tell you the same thing. You really need that family, the solid family background or friends or whatever it may be. People you can trust. That keeps you to the ground, yeah? When the chips are down, the people around you are so important. Obviously, it comes from a very solid family and that helps a lot.
I mean, I get that impression with being around Daniel. He'll always look for someone. His father, his sister, his brothers. He'll always have someone with him who will be looking for them. And he does that really with you as well. I've seen him do it with you, like try and search you out and find exactly where you are during the day or when he's doing stuff.
It's called trust, you know, the people he trusts. If he comes into this gym now, if I'm not here, that will throw him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the first question is, I asked my colleague, brother Ian, Where's Don? Because that person, it's a focal point, isn't it?
Because he's walking through the door, he needs to see you, he needs to hear you, then he needs to spend some time with you.
