Buncey travels to the Hertfordshire countryside to catch up with Daniel Dubois' trainer, Don Charles. With the world title fight against Anthony Joshua at Wembley fast approaching, he tells us how camp has gone and what it means to be part of such a massive event. He also reflects on his early life in the former Republic of Biafra during a four-year civil war, his subsequent move to the UK, and how a chance encounter with a young Derek Chisora at a petrol station launched his career as a professional trainer.
