      How pub row led to Anthony Joshua threatening to ‘smash a f***ing chair’ over Daniel Dubois ahead of Wembley fight

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’S summer of spite toward Daniel Dubois was sparked by a row down the pub.The clean-cut, multimillionaire golden boy – who used to down Mad Dog 2020 alcopops en route to nightclubs as an unknown teen – keeps in touch with his community now by still dipping into the local haunts.Anthony Joshua challenges Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title at WembleyCredit: GettyThe pair had to be separated by security and promoter Frank Warren during a heated sitdown face-off in JuneCredit: GETTYAn out-of-character AJ threatened to hit Dubois with a chairCredit: GETTYAJ made the menacing threat a week after having to put a young upstart in his place during a trip to one of former boozersCredit: REUTERSThese days the 34-year-old reformed bad-boy bricklayer only does his fighting in the ring and conducts himself like a true ambassador of British sport.But the week before the June 26 launch press conference for Saturday night’s IBF world title war, a local loudmouth tried to take a liberty and the old ‘Femi’ from the Meriden Estate, who once struck fear around North London, was forced into a comeback that Dubois will now face the full force of.We were stunned when during their first media event, Joshua threatened to “smash this f***ing chair” over Dubois’ face, after he felt the 27-year-old disrespected him.But it turned out the uncharacteristic threat of violence was a calculated move from the chess fan, after a row down the boozer brought out the beast.READ MORE ON AJ VS DUBOISIn his funniest and most open chat with the British boxing media, the superstar reminded us that he’s still just the lad next door – who can really swing a bit.Grinning widely, he explained: “I was in the pub the week before. Obviously I’m not around as much, there’s a new generation coming through.“One little kid – well, I’m 35, he’s probably 30-something – thought he could say something.“His mate tried to show him something, and he said: ‘I don’t give a f*** if AJ is here.’ I said: ‘What?!

Then, the week after, Dubois tried to get mouthy!“So, I’m still in the mindset where you don’t let anyone think that they can take an inch.“So, ‘Dan, I’m gonna put a stop to you there, I will smash this f***ing chair across your face, and I’ll ram the f***ing pole down your throat!’“You have to let someone know that you’re not f***ing about, and hopefully that will ripple out to everyone else.“I don’t want any problems, but I’m in an industry where I’m fighting.”I’m not in golf, I’m not playing tennis, I’m in a sport with men with testosterone – gladiators that will take any opportunity to try to belittle you and test your toughness.”It was calculated, it all stemmed from the week before. It wasn’t sporadic.“ I just realised: you can’t let anyone get an upper hand on you.”When SunSport asked if the London 2012 icon stopped the incident escalating to protect a front page scandal, he laughed us off: “Me? Me, leave? No way!“I’d get a call ‘AJ, I had a phone call from The Sun about this thing that happened in the pub.'”Joshua spent time on remand in Reading prison before he turned his life around with a visit to Finchley ABC gym aged 18.He has since barely raised his voice outside the ring, let alone his fists.The emotional breakdown after the second Oleksandr Usyk defeat was a vulnerable human opening up, not lashing out.But under the Hollywood smile and squeaky-clean reputation lies the fearless brawler whose hands still carry the giant callouses earned on cobbles, not canvas.ANTHONY JOSHUA VS DANIEL DUBOIS: All the information you need ahead of huge world title fight at Wembley”I’m a nice person,” he grinned. “But honestly, I’ll switch as well. So, you pick what side of the fence you want to sit on.“Most people are alright with me, but I will definitely go to extremes that I don’t think they’re ready for. “It’s up to them which way they wanna do it.”Earlier in fight week, after the ultra-violent feng shui was shelved, Joshua gave twice-beaten Dubois credit.Big Josh gave his rival a glowing comparison to Frank Bruno, whose tear-soaked 1995 Wembley world title win – at the fourth-time of trying – made him a national treasure.But, when asked for his mirror image from that star-studded heavyweight golden era, he gave himself a far more menacing and dominant force who came within seconds of destroying his own legendary Wembley night in 2017.”If he’s Frank Bruno,” he paused. “I’m Wladimir Klitschko: had a few setbacks, rebuilt, came back stronger, getting better with time, found a new trainer, went through different stages in my career – a learning process – to now being at uni.“That’s what they say about Emmanuel Steward: it was like going to uni. So yeah, I feel like Wladimir Klitschko.”Daniel Dubois will be defending his IBF heavyweight strap against Anthony JoshuaCredit: REUTERSJoshua reckons Dubois will be able to handle the magnitude of the moment at WembleyCredit: GETTYIt sounds like Dubois is in serious need of back-up.But new trainer Don Charles – who got great comebacks out of the psychologically fragile hulk in the most recent wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic – has been missing all week.The Pug Gym trainer is at war with Dubois’ overbearing father – and now official British Boxing Board of Control licensed manager – Stan.Hall-of-Famer promoter Frank Warren is working hard to make sure his 6ft 5in, 17st knockout machine – with the timid demeanour of a polite boy – has proper support for the biggest fight of his life.But AJ is again flowing with compliments as he says his old sparring partner will not crumble under the expectation of 96,000 fans and one pushy parent.”I think he’s gonna be fine,” he said. “Honestly. He’ll be fine. You have no other choice but to rise to the occasion, unfortunately.READ MORE SUN STORIES“You’ve come this far, he’s walked out at Tottenham, he’s walked out in Poland, he’ll walk out in Wembley.“The thing is, once that first bell goes, you’re in the fight, and it doesn’t matter anymore about anything.” More

      ‘Woj’ Leaves ESPN, and a Changed Sports Media, to Join St. Bonaventure

      by

      At ESPN, Adrian Wojnarowski leveraged social media to get the news out quicker. That skill made him rich and famous. He will manage the basketball team at St. Bonaventure University.For years, the sportswriter Adrian Wojnarowski used his sources and his hustle to repeatedly beat the competition on basketball stories big and small. But his drive and deft use of social media also helped change the entire sports journalism landscape.Wojnarowski, who announced Wednesday that he was retiring from ESPN to become general manager of the basketball team at St. Bonaventure University, his alma mater, developed a well-earned reputation for getting professional basketball news first, and then rapidly getting it out to the public, often via a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.When he was first, which was often, and the news was big, it was dubbed a “Woj Bomb.” Other reporters scrambled to confirm the news, then sent out tweets of their own, but crucially only after Wojnarowski’s. Even if he was only 30 seconds faster than the competition, Wojnarowski had his scoop. And because the social media algorithms often prioritize being first, the speed could gain him tens of thousands of extra clicks.The medium was a big part of the message for Wojnarowski. Rather than following the old media model — interacting with an editor, polishing the prose and waiting for publication — Wojnarowski went straight to social media, even if it was just with a sentence reporting that a trade had occurred or that a free agent had signed a contract, to own a story.It made him a star and it made him rich. ESPN paid him millions of dollars.“Scoops are not a new thing,” said Laith Zuraikat, an assistant professor of radio, TV and film at Hofstra University. “But what he did so effectively was take a lot of that traditional journalistic insider work and transition and use Twitter. I’m sure others thought of it, but nobody did it as well as he did. He was the guy.”Far from being an anomaly, Wojnarowski, first at Yahoo and then at ESPN, became a model for many other reporters who embraced his style. ESPN emphasized other accomplished journalists, like Jeff Passan on baseball, Adam Schefter on the N.F.L. and Pete Thamel on college sports, who focused on breaking news that would then drive hours or even days of coverage on the company’s various shows. Other media companies tried to match that lineup with scoop-breakers of their own who could race to share their knowledge on social media.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Frank Warren forced to deny rumours Daniel Dubois has sensationally SPLIT with trainer just hours before Joshua fight

      by

      FRANK WARREN has poured cold water on the rumours that Daniel Dubois’ camp is in crisis and blamed concerns on the flu.Ahead of his heavyweight world title war with 34-year-old Anthony Joshua, respected trainer Don Charles and first-class second Ian Duberry have been absent from the extravagant media events.Don Charles is the head trainer of Daniel DuboisDubois hit the pads with assistant trainer Kieran Farrell in the absence of CharlesCredit: GettyDubois’ promoter Frank Warren insists things are all to plan in Team DuboisCredit: PAJoshua facing off with Dubois – he is hours away from the biggest fight of his careerCredit: Mark Robinson Matchroom BoxingSocial media on Wednesday night was brimming with rumours that coach Charles had sensationally split with the heavyweight fighter. But Dynamite Dan’s promoter has extinguished the fuse and revealed the Pug Gym team is laid low with a nasty dose of the flu and they are wisely shielding their star student.AJ’s trainer Ben Davison has also avoided the limelight at the grand arrivals and the media workouts.But the Harlow trainer has been spotted keeping a low profile on the periphery, which he prefers.READ MORE IN boxing Charles – who has worked wonders in the corner for Dubois in his last two wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic – has not been spotted at all.At Wednesday’s dummy training session for the cameras, AJ shadow boxed with unknown kids from his beloved Finchley ABC.But Dubois got a proper sweat on with a decent pads session with assistant trainer Kieran Farrell.If Charles – who rose to fame as Derek Chisora’s earliest trainer – appears at Thursday’s press conference smelling of vapour rub, then Dubois fans can grow in confidence that their man could spring an upset.Most read in BoxingANTHONY JOSHUA VS DANIEL DUBOIS: All the information you need ahead of huge world title fight at WembleyCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBut if Dubois cuts a lonely figure again – after already being pulled out of the Peacock Gym and Shane McGuigan’s stable – it will make AJ’s assignment to become a three-time world champion look even easier.When SunSport visited the Pug gym earlier this month and caught a couple of excellent final spars, Dubois raved about his new Borehamwood set-up.Young boxers from Finchley Boxing Club join AJ at the media workout But he made it clear that his father remains the driving – yet for many divisive – force on his career,He told us: “My dad gives me an extra boost We are a partnership and a team, he knows the words that get to me and help me.“When I look over into my corner and he’s there, it gives me that kick up the a***.“It makes me fight even harder, he makes me fight to win, he makes me give it my all.”Joshua vs Dubois fight predictions THIS weekend Wembley will witness one of the biggest all-British fights of all-time.But who will emerge victorious under the famous arch?
