Daniel Dubois has been accused of quitting in fights before now and is struggling to shake off the label though his coach has said ‘we don’t give a damn.’
British heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois is long off a huge win which should have dispelled all talk of him being a quitter. It came on December 23 on the huge Day of Reckoning card against the 300lbs American prospect Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller.
Miller came forward for the first half of the fight with a high volume of punches, but Dubois weathered the storm then came on strong in the second half of the fight and stopped the American with just seconds to go of the 10th and final round.
Since then he has called out the likes of Fillip Hrgovic but still people reference his fight with Joe Joyce in which he took a knee due to a badly damaged eye and allowed himself to be counted out.
Speaking to Boxing Social his coach Don Charles has now addressed this outside talk of him quitting.
“When everyone’s calling you something that you know fully well that you’re not, you’re going to go to bed on your own and question yourself so you have to come out and prove it, and he proved it to himself. He said after the fight ‘I am no quitter, I shut up all the doubters.'”
He then reiterated how he and Dubois feel about people who continue to call him a quitter.
“Anybody who cares to take note or not, I’m not an arrogant or rude person, but quite frankly me dear we don’t give a damn.”
