Daniel Dubois Surprises Fans by Reuniting with Trainer Don Charles
Daniel Dubois has made waves in the boxing community by reuniting with trainer Don Charles. This decision follows a tumultuous period after his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
Reunion Announcement
Dubois, who is 28 years old, initially partnered with Charles in early 2023. Their journey was marked by a ninth-round TKO defeat against Usyk in August of that year. Despite this setback, the duo achieved significant success, winning three consecutive matches.
Notable Fights and Achievements
- Victory against Jarrell Miller via 10th-round TKO.
- KO win over Filip Hrgovic.
- Elevation to IBF heavyweight champion after Usyk vacated the title.
- Impressive fifth-round defeat of Anthony Joshua in September 2024 at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois’ title reign faced a challenge when he fought Usyk again, losing in his pursuit to unify all heavyweight belts at the National Stadium the following summer. Following this defeat, Dubois decided to part ways with Charles.
Transition to New Trainer
After leaving Charles, he appointed Tony Sims as his new trainer. However, this decision was temporary, as Dubois, through his business partner Riz Khan, confirmed his return to Charles’ Farm Gym in Boreham Wood.
The official statement emphasized the importance of their previous partnership. It stated, “Daniel has chosen to reverse that decision and will now return to working with Don Charles, under whose corner he achieved his greatest accomplishments to date.” Further announcements regarding his next fights are expected soon.
Looking Ahead
As Daniel Dubois recalibrates under the guidance of Don Charles, fans eagerly anticipate what’s next in his boxing career. The partnership holds promise for future success in the heavyweight division.
