But Joyce’s mum Marvel piped up from the audience to question Dubois’ heart and accuse him of only being in boxing to live out his father’s dreams.

Dubois shoved his hulking rival, when they went nose-to-nose for photos, and vowed to punish his former Team GB sparring partner and his mum for her slurs.

Marvel, who is registered 93 per cent blind grabbed a mic to ask: “Daniel, if you get ill and pull out of the fight, what will happen?”

But Dubois was fuming with the slight and said: “No I will not pull out.

“I will do you a favour, because you cannot see your son after he has been knocked out, you will be spared the heartache.

“There will be no pulling out this is all fate, meant to be and I believe my dad set me on this journey as a young kid and this is all part of it.”

Marvel then suggested that Dubois is only in the fight game on the orders of his father Dave, who also has talented amateur fighters in daughter Caroline and son Prince.

She asked: “Did you want to be on this journey or is it your dad’s journey?”

Dubois regained his composure to say: “It’s both of our journey, we talk about it all the time, every day.”
