Live from Wembley Arena, Sky Sports’ Ben Ransom has been getting to the bottom of these rumors. Speaking to Charles himself, Ransom reports that Charles has been suffering from a cold and is taking precautions to avoid passing it on to Dubois.
"I’ve been asked if Don Charles is in the corner for Daniel Dubois," Ransom reveals. "And the answer is, yes, very much still in the corner. Todd, the team is happy to confirm."
On the other hand, Dubois’ sparring partner, Kieran Farrell, has dismissed concerns about his boss’ hand, insisting that only his own hands are hurting due to the ferocity of their training sessions.
