Don Charles talks to Boxing UK and gives his BIZARRE reasons on why his man Daniel Dubois beats Usyk to become unified heavyweight world champion:
Don Charles: “Everything I’ve ever done as a coach has led up to this point and I wasn’t expecting to be handed this opportunity at this late stage in my career.”
does a coach face an unexpected fourth opportunity in the heavyweight division? What drives him towards this extraordinary opportunity?
Becoming Obsessed with the Fight
The man’s passion is no secret. His words brim with determination and vigor, a testament to his commitment.
“I’ve become possessed, in some cases, obsessed with this particular fight. I’ve emptied everything I’ve got in me because how many more opportunities?”
But what are the stakes? Three failed attempts at World titles could be enough to break anyone. But not Don. His words indicate a level of dedication that is more than ordinary. What makes this time different?
“I’ve had three cracks with Dereck Chisora at a World title. The first person I bought admission so that didn’t happen. The fight with Vladimir then the second one with Vitali Klitschko didn’t win it. Last one was last December with Tyson Fury, we didn’t win it. This is the fourth. I didn’t think I’d get another one, yeah, in the heavyweight division. Anyway, this is the fourth one.”
Young Daniel: The Chosen One
Don Charles’ enthusiasm doesn’t just rest with the opportunity; it lies in the belief in his new fighter, young Daniel.
Don Charles: I said he can do it; I said you fully believe in him. Well, there’s God’s word; I was wrapping up in one. He’s God’s work where we met; we haven’t been together for a long period, and it’s going to deliver because God has put it. What’s been written by God cannot be tampered with any man, period.”
What Sets Daniel Apart?
Don Charles: “He’s a Chosen One.”
The conviction in Don’s voice speaks volumes about his faith in his new protege.
