I sparred Tyson Fury, Derek Chisora & Filip Hrgovic… no one hit as hard as Daniel Dubois, his jab felt like right hand
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JOHNNY FISHER has shared the ring with the heavyweight division's hardest-hitters - but none were as powerful as Dynamite Daniel Dubois. Fisher had just ten amateur bouts before turning professional in 2021 - instead learning his craft in the gym. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Johnny Fisher said Daniel Dubois was his hardest-hitting sparring partner Credit: Instagram / @johnnyfisher1 6 Fisher has also sparred Tyson Fury That included valuable sparring rounds with the likes of Tyson Fury and Joe Joyce. But Fisher - a guest on SunSport's No Glove Lost previewing Dubois' rematch against Oleksandr Usyk - said no one could match the power of Britain's IBF heavyweight champion. Recalling the spars, he said: "Hardest I've ever been punched, by far. His jab is like a right hand! "And it's only sparring as well, so you've got the 20oz gloves on and you can see how he can puts people's lights out with the 10oz gloves on." READ MORE IN BOXING GETTING THE DUB Daniel Dubois must be a 'crazy DEMON' to beat Oleksandr Usyk, warns Chisora Fisher, 26, first sparred Dubois, 27, in 2021 and most recently two years ago. At the time, Dubois had been stopped by Joyce and Usyk leaving his career in question. But Fisher helped the Londoner before his December 2023 bout against Jarrell Miller - which proved a coming-of-age moment. Dubois won in the tenth and final round, later going on to stop Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua in character-building victories.

He doesn't say much, he's quite a quiet character. "But you have seen the development over the three or four years that I've known him and I think it's for the better. He is fighting a guy who is crazy! Chisora | No Glove Lost: Usyk vs Dubois 2 fight preview - The Sun Sport "He's expressing himself for, I like the cheeky comedic things you're seeing at the press conferences, his personality is coming out and I think it's important for a fighter to express themselves and do that no matter what their personality is. "The freer you are, the more damage you can do and I think we've seen that with Daniel. Even the way his boxing skills have developed, moving off the line a bit. "The way he came through that Jarrell Miller fight that was a defining moment for him. There was a lot of pressure on him, he was a big 25 or 26 stone man in front of him and he's come through adversity. "I've seen good development boxing-wise and personality and I think they marry up quite well." Usyk has already done the double over AJ and Fury with a pair of points wins - in between his ninth-round stoppage over Dubois. Hardest I've ever been punched, by far. His jab is like a right hand! Johnny Fisher on sparring Daniel Dubois But it was Chisora - who joined Fisher on our panel - who pushed the two-weight undisputed king the most in 2020. And Fisher urged Dubois to replicate those same roughhouse tactics when he rematches Usyk on Saturday at Wembley for all four belts. He said: "Out of everyone I've sparred, I've sparred Derek, I've sparred Filip Hrgovic, I've sparred Fury, he wants to dismantle you the most out of anyone. "Some people spar for tech or spar to work on certain thing, he's trying to take you out. And I think that's his strength. "His strength is the ability to come forward, the punch power, the physical nature in the clinch. And you can negate that. "We saw in the first fight, yes it was a low-blow but somehow, it's very hard to do it and Derek's probably the best example of someone doing it, but roughhouse him. "Get in close, not thinking about where you're hitting just going in there, biting down on the gumshield and that takes mental strength. That's a bit more valuable than talent is." 6 Derek Chisora suffered a tight loss to Usyk in 2020 Credit: Mark Robinson Matchroom Boxing 6 Usyk beat Dubois in round nine in 2023 Credit: Richard Pelham / The Sun

Daniel Dubois must be a ‘crazy DEMON' to beat Oleksandr Usyk, warns Derek Chisora ahead of world title fight
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DEREK CHISORA had a friendly chat with ice-cool Oleksandr Usyk while Russian missiles rained down around him. So he knows Daniel Dubois needs to be absolutely crazy in the ring to beat the Ukrainian. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Derek Chisora knows what Daniel Dubois needs to do to beat Oleksandr Usyk Credit: YouTube / Sun Sport News 7 He insisted that Dubois needs to be a 'crazy demon' to defeat the Ukrainian Credit: YouTube / Sun Sport News 7 Dubois has already lost to Usyk once in his career Credit: YouTube / Sun Sport News 7 Dubois faces the Ukrainian in a rematch at Wembley Stadium Credit: YouTube / Sun Sport News In 2020, the 41-year-old British warhorse gave Usyk a gruelling welcome to the heavyweight division, dragging him the distance before losing a close decision. Four years later, and the odd couple are now pals who meet up at a Ukrainian sauna in London - usually when Usyk, 38, visits to bash up another Brit - and they catch up on the phone. But since Vladimir Putin invaded Usyk's beloved home in 2022, the catch-ups on the blower have been peppered with the sound of bombs. Chisora revealed to SunSport that on one call last year, Usyk explained that while his wife and children were below deck in the bunker, he was in the front room, utterly fearless. And now - on our latest No Glove Lost YouTube show - Del Boy explains how the only chance 27-year-old daddy's boy Dubois has of underdog undisputed glory, is to be madder than mad. Chisora said: 'He's done his training camp in Spain but usually, when he's not there, he's in his front room listening to missiles go over the ceiling. 'You have to understand, Daniel is fighting a guy who's ready to go to war. 'The only way to beat Usyk right now, is to find someone who is more crazy than him. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "But is anybody crazier than him right now? I don't know. But Daniel has to be." Usyk is not just a 6ft 3in southpaw who won gold at the London 2012 Olympics and cleaned out the cruiserweight division to grab all four belts inside 15 fights. Daniel Dubois defies logic with gymnastics training a secret to his success He is a devout Orthodox Christian, a reformed childhood pickpocket and the 12-year-old victim of a horse kick that fractured his skull. Dubois - at his second attempt following a 2023 stoppage loss - is not just fighting the man who bashed up Tony Bellow, and did the double over Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury - he is fighting a myth and a legend of a war-torn nation. Chisora said. 'Daniel has to walk into Wembley Stadium and just become a demon. 'And just go with that.

Chris Eubank Sr throws a wrench into Conor Benn's fight, wants son's license cancelled
Chris Eubank Sr throws a wrench into Conor Benn's fight, wants son's license cancelled (Image Source: Getty Images) Days before the highly anticipated fight against Conor Benn , Chris Eubank Sr launches a blistering attack on his son Chris Eubank Jr , saying boxing authorities should revoke his license. The boxing legend has also distanced himself from the April 26 bout, which has been promoted as a 'legacy fight' to continue a rivalry between the Eubank and Benn families from the 1990s. Weight concerns amplify Chris Eubank Sr's fears for his son's safety Chris Eubank Sr has expressed serious safety concerns regarding the middleweight limit of 160 lbs with a 10lb rehydration clause. This restriction prevents either fighter from weighing more than 170lbs on fight day, which Chris Eubank Sr believes puts his son at particular risk. "My son probably walks around at around 180lb, and he has to boil himself down to 160lb," Eubank Sr explained in an emotional interview. "People don't understand what it means for Junior to get down to 160lb, at his age. They don't understand the drying out." "He has to have his license revoked!" | No Glove Lost: Eubank Jr. Vs. Benn - The Sun Sport by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Chris Eubank Sr has publicly demanded his son's boxing license be revoked over the build-up to the Conor Benn fight. Speaking on The Sun's No Glove Lost show, Chris Eubank Sr criticised his son's recent behaviour, including an incident in which Chris Eubank Jr smashed an egg on the face of Conor Benn, and said it had tarnished the sport's image. Such actions are not a legacy, they do not reflect who he is, and they only bring boxing into disrepute, he said, distancing himself from the spectacle. The 58-year-old former champion, who is increasingly outspoken in his opposition to the fight on a number of grounds, including weight management and what he sees as disrespectful behaviour, has now turned his attention to the fighter's manager. Fellow boxer Liam Smith has also revealed that there are rumours going around that Chris Eubank Jr is having weight-cut problems. According to reports, any weight agreement breach would cost either fighter a £1 million penalty. Family estrangement adds personal drama to professional clash between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn It's also a public criticism of the deep family rift that the Eubanks have had since about 2019. Chris Eubank Jr said their relationship continued to deteriorate after the tragic death of his brother Sebastian in 2021. Chris Eubank Jr told Piers Morgan in March that mental health is a real thing. However, with that incident and the fact that we were not seeing eye to eye already, that broke a huge part of the relationship. On the other hand, Conor Benn's father, Nigel, has been a constant presence in the fight build-up, there to support his son at press events. It further complicates one of Britain's most personal rivalries in boxing.

The fight begins at 9:00 PM EST at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with tickets still available through official vendors.
