"He Lunged." Hearn on Joshua vs. Dubois Clash

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn reported that Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) and IBF heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) got into an argument during an interview, and they had to be separated.

"It happened at the end when they said, 'September 21 and not before,' and Daniel said, 'Well, if you want it now, I'm ready now.' Anthony replied, 'Do you want me to smash this chair over your face? Never disrespect me like that again.' And he lunged at him. They had to be pulled apart," the promoter said.

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois will face off on September 21 at Wembley Stadium in London, UK. The IBF heavyweight title will be on the line. We wrote about the undercard of the tournament here.
