• Boxing Scene reported a move to Tony Sims at Matchroom Gym, a link echoed by talkSPORT and The Independent without official confirmation.
• Assistant coach Kieran Farrell has left the setup, and agent Sam Jones has been recruited to take on management responsibilities.
• The shake-up follows Dubois’ fifth-round knockout defeat to Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley, which came after wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.
• Charles defended a pre-fight gathering at Dubois’ family home as a planned ritual, and separate reports suggest Dubois may not return to the ring this year.
