Anthony Fowler was amongst a small number of spectators when Anthony Joshua once sparred with Daniel Dubois.
The pair shared multiple rounds together in preparation for their own battles and they’ll come face to face with the biggest prize on the line when they clash later this month.
Dubois, now the IBF heavyweight champion, will defend his belt against Joshua on September 21, live on DAZN , at Wembley Stadium.
Both men have come a long way since their infamous spars, each enjoying great careers, but Fowler, a former Team GB member alongside both, has revealed the details from one memorable training session
"Joshua must have been a little clumsy sparring him and he got caught with a short left hook and Joshua's legs completely went,” said Fowler, now retired following a professional run, when speaking to Talksport.
"Dubois could have hit him again and put him to sleep but Dubois had a bit too much respect for him to finish him off.
"Obviously, everyone was stood there like 'Wow' and Joshua went and jogged around the ring because his legs were like jelly, and he was trying to get his legs back.”
