British professional boxer Daniel Dubois (29) expressed displeasure during an interview ahead of a title fight and abruptly left the scene.

The British 'The Sun' reported on the 6th (Korea time) that "Dubois swore at a journalist and suddenly left during an interview ahead of his WBO heavyweight title fight against Fabio Wardley."

Dubois is set to challenge for the WBO heavyweight championship against Wardley on the 10th in Manchester, UK. The media explained the situation at the time, stating, "Dubois, who was pushing through training and media schedules intensively ahead of the match, felt overwhelmed by the relentless stream of questions. Although known for his calm demeanor, he was in an extremely sensitive state due to the continuous interview schedule."

The incident occurred when a journalist asked, "What do you hate the most in boxing?" Upon hearing this, Dubois exclaimed, "Do I really have to do this interview? Cancel it right now," venting his frustration. He immediately stood up from his seat and said, "What is the next schedule? This person is joking with me right now."

Although the flustered journalist denied it, Dubois shot back, "Aren't you trying to mess with me right now?" before leaving the scene.

The video spread rapidly through social media (SNS). Fans are instead supporting the sensitive Dubois. Netizens reacted with comments such as, "It's understandable to get angry when receiving 1,000 questions during media week," "He is in an extremely focused state for the match," and "I want to say something like that at my workplace too."

Meanwhile, Dubois suffered a fifth-round KO loss against Oleksandr Usyk in the undisputed title fight last July. The media reported, "For Dubois, this match is an important comeback where he must restore his bruised self-esteem by using Wardley, his former sparring partner, as a target."
