Daniel Dubois’ trainer discusses Joseph Parker
“Upon the recommendation of the doctors we opted not to put our fighter in that situation, save him from that situation. Live to fight another day,” Charles told Sky Sports.
“We did the right thing. Every day I wake up, I know we did the right thing. You have to sometimes save fighters from themselves. Daniel wanted to fight. They are gladiators. They want to fight.
“I don’t think it’s wise thing in a championship fight to go and take that chance of if you don’t blow Parker out in the first half of the fight, who’s to say because you’re ill, illness doesn’t kick in.”
He went on to discuss Parker himself.
“Everybody’s got their opinion, Parker deserves this, Parker deserves that. Parker’s a lovely human being, he’s a brilliant boxer,” Charles said.
“Who am I to say that he doesn’t deserve it? If it’s for him and his people are able to manoeuvre him, good luck to the man. All I know is Daniel’s ready to fight anybody.
“Whoever our promoter brings to us next is who we’re going to fight.”
