Caroline Dubois has done a brilliant interview with Seconds Out. She's not complimentary of the Dad and didn't watch the fight. Very intelligent young lady, surprised me.

Re: Is Daniel Dubois autistic?
Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather were both quite good. I actually think if a father knows what he is doing and is objective about his son's potential he could be the best trainer for his son. It can be a very fine line before it tips over into child abuse, though, depending on your definition and the definition where you live.coneye wrote: ↑27 Sep 2024, 17:59 What is itr about Fathers in boxing ..

Generally I agree with you, though. Sideline dads in all sports generally do more harm than good.

Wonder if fatherhood will make Daniel more independent from his father

Re: Is Daniel Dubois autistic?
Who is the gf?
Childhood sweetheart? Or love island hopeful?
A good woman behind a boxer is very important

Re: Is Daniel Dubois autistic?
Off course i'm generalizing , theres plenty of cases of dads being succesful with there sons , Mayweather , Calagzie , Lomenchenko , in fact i doubt they would have done what they did without there dads , The ones i'm refering too are the ones who bring in there 12 , -13 year old kid , never ever been involved in the sport and want to shout instructions from the sideline , quite often after watching there kid have a couple of fights then want to tell him how its done and the coach who has coached 100's of others , is wrong , Every boxing coach has noticed this , dads should be told keep there nose out UNLESS they have experience .Jimmy2025 wrote: ↑09 Jan 2025, 03:22Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather were both quite good.

It was to do with fatalities in boxing
Allegedly, a disproportionate number of boxing fatalities had their father in the corner.
It was spectaculated that fathers are so emotionally invested /living vicariously, they are loathe to pull their lad out and will hang on longer than a regular corner would.
I can't remember which book it was. It was a biography of a boxer. Decades since I read it. If it rings any bells someone pls remind me.

This seems very vague, would be very surprising if true. Surely far more brave unrelated trainers than fathers.johnmanchester wrote: ↑05 Apr 2026, 11:21There was a statistic quoted in some boxing book I read.CaptainSpacerod wrote: ↑08 Jan 2025, 17:50So Devon Haney didn’t train at your gym then.coneye wrote: ↑27 Sep 2024, 17:59 What is itr about Fathers in boxing ..

Could it have been Johnny Owen? Just a guess as his father was his trainer.johnmanchester wrote: ↑05 Apr 2026, 11:21There was a statistic quoted in some boxing book I read.

Re: Is Daniel Dubois autistic?
The WBC put something out a while ago about this. It was also to do with sons not wanting to give up when their father was in the corner too.
