Daniel Dubois rose to everybody’s expectation as he picked up yet another stoppage victory to successfully defend his WBO International Heavyweight title. With the win, Dubois is now 15-0 in his professional boxing career with 14 stoppage victories. Dubois is a lethal striker and an up and coming heavyweight prospect. At just 22 years of age, Dubois has earned the attention and recognition of boxing fans around the world. He has finished 14 of his 15 professional bouts and will take on Joe Joyce for the WBO International Heavyweight Championship in October.
Dubois took on Ricardo Snijders in the main event and picked up a stoppage victory in the second round. It was expected that Dubois would put on a clinic after Joyce put up an incredible performance back in June. Both the boxers are scheduled to face each other next, in what is going to be the greatest boxing match between two of the best boxers in the Heavyweight division. It was a phenomenal performance from Dubois who dropped Snijders on four occasions, before finally picking up the victory. With the win, Dubois has come one step closer to his heavyweight Championship goal.

Daniel Dubois, one of the best heavyweight prospects in boxing, picks up a second round knockout of Ricardo Snijders. Knocked Snijders down four times. An utterly pointless mismatch.

Earlier, WBO and the Lineal Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury praised Dubois and compared him to Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. Fury had told BT Sport: “Daniel Dubois. He’s a big, strong lad, and whatever he hits falls.” Fury continued, “He’s big like Ivan Drago, isn’t he? – ‘I will hit you and break you, no matter what happens’.”
