Daniel Dubois Reveals He Plays the Harp Ahead of Fabio Wardley Title Fight

Daniel Dubois is known for his power in the ring, but it turns out the WBO heavyweight champion has a much quieter hobby away from it. During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored with opponent Fabio Wardley, Dubois revealed he paints, draws, and has dabbled in playing the harp. He keeps one at home and says he’s still learning, picking up a couple of lessons a week. Wardley was the one who brought the harp up in the interview, catching Morgan completely off guard.

Dubois explained that rhythm and music actually help him in boxing, summing it up with“Boxing is an art and I’m an artist.”Fans on social media loved the contrast between his hard-hitting ring persona and his gentle creative side, with plenty calling for the harp to appear in a pre-fight hype video. The timing is perfect too, since Dubois defends his title against Wardley tonight at the O2 Arena, a rematch of their May bout that Dubois won by 11th-round stoppage after being knocked down twice.

So the question is simple: should the champ bring the harp out for the walkout, or keep it strictly a home hobby? Tell us what you think in the comments.
