I’ve sparred Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois but neither hit as hard as 6ft 8in Brit who was ‘different gravy’
ANTHONY JOSHUA and Daniel Dubois are two of Britain’s heaviest-hitters – but one 6ft 8in heavyweight was “different gravy”.
AJ challenges for Dubois’ IBF title on September 21 at Wembley Stadium.
Much has been made of their own sparring sessions years back at Team GB’s Sheffield training HQ.
And several have waded in on the debate on who hits harder between them.
Frazer Clarke – who admitted Dubois once dropped him – gave his insight but claimed David Price packed the heaviest punch out of them all.
Clarke, 33, told Boxing Social: “It’s a really competitive, good fight. I still have AJ as favourite.
“But I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, if [Dubois] is not the heaviest puncher I’ve been in with, he’s probably in the top three or four. He can really whack.
“It’s a different kind of punch. I think on a single shot, probably Joshua just cause it comes with a bit more speed.
“They come sharp, but Dubois is a real thud. Both of them two are leaps and bounds away from David Price.
“F*** me. Jesus Christ. That was different gravy. And I was young at the time, probably 17, 18. That was an experience.

“I think he was taking it easy as well. In terms of one punch David Price… unbelievable power. Unbelievable.”
Price, 41, once knocked Joshua out during a sparring session.
He retired after a 2019 defeat to Derek Chisora, 40, hanging them up with 25 wins, six loses and one no-contest in his 32 bouts.
Joshua, 34, comes into his fight with Dubois, 26, off the back of three straight wins in his bid to become a three-time world champ.
