“I’m very focused, very dialed in,” Dubois added as the soon-to-be-focused Londoner felt he was being mocked in two interviews earlier this week.
He has previously been criticized for his mentality following defeats to Joe Joyce and Usyk, facing accusations of folding too easily under pressure, but Wardley admitted the challenger has also shown resilience during his recent resurgence.
“He can be very strong mentally and in other fights,” Wardley said. “He’s proven to be mentally strong and durable, but in other fights you’ve seen that lacking.
“Whether it’s for training or the team around him, it’s not clear. It depends on what Daniel shows at night. It can sometimes be a coin flip.”
Dubois replied: “No comment. I’m here to work.”
Tensions overtook the fighters as Wardley’s manager Mike Offo and Dubois’ manager Sam Jones argued on stage.
Wardley smiled as DuBois watched quietly.
Asked for a final message to his opponent, Dubois said: “I won either way. That’s it. I’m here for business. Let’s fight.”
Wardley was a little more forthcoming with his predictions.
“He’s getting knocked out,” he added. “I’ve done it with 95% of my opponents. I’m going to clean him up. I’m going to land clean, sharp and get him out of there.”
