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.

Connor Benn Update
Adding to the intrigue surrounding the fight, ex-world title challenger Connor Benn has spoken out about his ongoing struggles. Despite protests of innocence, Benn’s drug testing issues have resulted in a suspension, but he is determined to clear his name and return to the ring.
"I would have just had this case closed two and a half years ago," Benn admitted. "But I believe in fighting for what you believe in, regardless of what everyone else says. My integrity stands, and I won’t rest until I clear my name."
