The WBA ‘Regular’ heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois stopped the challenger Kevin Lerena with a knockout punch in the third round. He made a remarkable comeback in the fight, which was expected to be won by the challenger as the latter produced a stunning first round completely in his favor.

Tyson Fury vs. Derek Chisora’s card was packed with many exciting fights, one of them being the co-main event between Dubois and Lerena. Under the glittering lights of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Dubois stepped inside the ring to defend his title for the first time. He was confident before the bell rang, but was in serious trouble for the 3 mins of round one.

He was dropped back-to-back three times in round one. His condition was not looking well to continue the fight. However, his corner and the referee trusted his willpower and allowed him to advance.

The title holder did not disappoint them and scored a knockdown in the third round after gathering himself in the second. Though Lerena saved himself once, he could not survive the entire round in front of Dubois’ power.

The referee came to save him when Dubois caught him on the canvas with a flurry of punches. He first dropped Lerena with a straight right cross. And when Lerena came back, he was under pressure. Dubois did good work. He pushed the latter on the ropes and caught him with a brutal uppercut that left the challenger in peril.

The referee did a good job of stopping the fight at a remarkable moment.

How did fans react to the knockout win of Daniel Dubois?

A fan wrote, “S**t stoppage. S**t. Absolute s**t.” Not all fans liked this fight. Though there was a lot of action, the fighters were not able to produce a remarkable clash.

Another fighter wrote, “Man they’re not feeding me Daniel after this one.”
