Not only that, but the ‘Dynamite’ suffered distressing eye-injuries that forced him out of the sport for a considerable time.
But displaying a lion-heart and a champion mindset, Dubois took that loss on his chin. He is slowly picking up pace in his training sessions alongside doctor’s appointments for the eye-treatment.
In a snippet of his podcast with Queensberry promotions, Dubois talked about the horrifying loss and his comeback plans.
“I took the knee and Once I thought it’d get in my eye. I really didn’t think about the fight, forgot all about the fight, and I thought about that maybe I got a new experience, panicking and other stuff. Still feel you know I’ve watched them get back to it and build myself up, again and fight wherever I’ve got fire.
“This is only gonna make me want it more,” said Dubois.

Considering the pertaining juncture, Dubois’ next bout with the ‘Juggernaut’ looks impossible, as the latter always wished to see himself fighting the finest heavyweights.

The ‘Dynamite’ is just 23 and has an extensive career lying ahead of him. He has the ability to march on to the top by piling on with constant wins. It will be enticing to view his return in 2021.
Can Dubois showcase a better version of himself upon his return?
