Anthony Joshua Shocks Fans by Calling Daniel Dubois ‘Tr*sh’ and Advising Him to Leave the UK**
In a surprising turn of events, British boxing superstar Anthony Joshua has caused a stir among fans and the boxing community after making controversial remarks about fellow heavyweight fighter Daniel Dubois. During a recent interview, Joshua didn’t hold back his thoughts, labeling Dubois as “tr*sh” and going so far as to suggest that the young fighter should leave the UK altogether.The comments have left fans and pundits alike reeling, as Joshua is typically known for his diplomatic approach when discussing his peers. When asked about Dubois’ recent performances, Joshua expressed frustration, criticizing Dubois’ ability to handle high-pressure situations in the ring.
“He’s had chances to prove himself, and every time, he falls short,” Joshua remarked. “It’s time he stops pretending and faces reality. Maybe leaving the UK will help him reset, but right now, he’s just not living up to the hype. To me, he’s tr*sh.”
The sharp criticism was unexpected, especially considering Dubois is seen by many as a rising star in British boxing. Having been heralded as the future of the heavyweight division, Dubois suffered a major setback in his career after a loss to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2023. Despite his efforts to bounce back, the brutal assessment from Joshua adds even more pressure to Dubois’ attempts to redeem himself.
Fans took to social media to voice their shock at Joshua’s statements, with some supporting his honesty while others criticized the harshness of his words. Many feel that Joshua’s advice to leave the UK is not only drastic but also unfair, considering Dubois’ potential and the strong following he still has in the country.
Dubois has yet to publicly respond to the remarks, but the tension between the two boxers is expected to create a buzz in the lead-up to any future matches, potentially sparking a new rivalry. The boxing world now waits to see how Dubois will respond, both in and out of the ring, to the brutal words from one of the UK’s most respected fighters.
With Joshua’s words still echoing across the sport, only time will tell if this marks the beginning of a heated rivalry between the two heavyweights or if Dubois will take the criticism as motivation to prove his worth on the global stage.
