Dubois mistake was taking it so seriously. AJ was still humble, while Dubois started getting arrogant. And Dubois is naturally not arrogant, he had nothing to say when he got held back. He either got told to do this, or there's some history.

I like AJ, but he's the most scared of all the top heavyweights. Too scared to fight Wilder even aftwr Wilder lost to Fury. Doing the Politics not to fight Fury. Scared of Zhang. He's basically scared of everybody. Wilder and Fury already have losses in their record and AJ still fought neither men.

i think dubois made a mistake there... if i was dubois i would have picked a page from ruiz's book ... i'll pretend to be star struck by joshua.. I'll be respectful and then turn on him in the ring... the are guys that could intimidate joshua... like klitchko like usyk like ngannou... but if you are a fury a miller.. a wallin let alone a dubois i don't think is a good idea
