LONDON — Daniel Dubois' trainer expects to be in the corner of the IBF heavyweight champion for the all-British fight against Anthony Joshua despite being bed-ridden by illness this week. Speaking hours before the rivals attend the weigh-in, Don Charles tells British radio station talkSPORT on Friday he has been keeping his distance from Dubois while trying to shake off what he described as a "very bad head cold." Charles also has attempted to address speculation he had been fired by Dubois. He says "no, there has not been any fall-out." Joshua came in the heavier at 252.5 lbs (114.5 kilograms). Dubois weighed in at 248.6 lbs (112.8 kg).
