<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Don Charles has demanded a retraction from Fabio Wardley after a \u201cbin man\u201d remark aimed at Daniel Dubois ahead of their May 9 fight. The comment has added tension to a WBO heavyweight title bout already carrying pressure on both sides.<\/p>\n The trainer, who works with Daniel Dubois, reacted to a claim that Wardley had suggested Dubois would be \u201ca bin man\u201d if he weren\u2019t a boxer. Charles said the remark caught him off guard and crossed a line.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s quite shocking to me, I\u2019m surprised coming from Fabio,\u201d Charles said. \u201cA binman? Because you earn a lot of money, and bin men do it. It would do every type of job to put food on the table for our families,\u201d said Charles to Queensberry.<\/p>\n Charles defended working-class jobs and said the comparison reflected poorly on Wardley rather than Dubois.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think that\u2019s an insult to the bin man for him to refer to [Dubois that way],\u201d Charles said. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s something that is quite condescending. I don\u2019t think you feel suddenly privileged because you\u2019re a world champion. You should retract the statement. Because bang out of order.\u201d<\/p>\n The comments add anger to a fight that already carried stylistic intrigue, with Wardley entering as a pressure fighter who has openly targeted an early stoppage, while Dubois continues to deal with questions about his durability in difficult moments.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he wasn\u2019t a boxer, I think he might just be a bin man or something like that,\u201d said Warley to DAZN about Dubois.<\/p>\n The reaction itself now becomes part of the build, and it gives the fight a sharper edge than it had before.<\/p>\n \u201cReally, it\u2019s disrespect, but we\u2019ll address that in the ring,\u201d said Dubois about Wardley saying he\u2019d be a \u201cbin man\u201d if he weren\u2019t a boxer. \u201cOf course, I\u2019m above him in every sense. Pedigree, skill-wise, and everything like that. It\u2019s time to shut him down in the ring. I\u2019m a bin man, and I\u2019ve just got to take out the trash.\u201d<\/p>\n Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) defends his WBO heavyweight title against Dubois (22-3,21 KOs) on May 9th on DAZN<\/a> PPV at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England.<\/p>\n Olly Campbell is a boxing journalist who has covered the sport since 2014, providing ringside reporting and technical analysis of major bouts.
