However, Dubois displayed a champion attitude and took that loss on his chin. In a video posted on his official social handle, the ‘Dynamite’ unveiled a stern message for his fans and followers around the world.

He said, “November 28, 2020, first loss of my professional career. A devastating setback for me. The intra crushing tough year for everyone with the spread of COVID-19. But, I refused to let this set me back. I will come back and get back to my boxing… Trust me, I will be back with a vengeance.”

Daniel Dubois in talks to hire Mark Tibbs as a new trainer

The 23-year-old is keen to join hands with Mark Tibbs, who also trains the WBO super-middleweight champion, Billy Joe Saunders.

Working under a big-wig trainer like Tibbs might just help Dubois leverage on his strengths and improve his flaws to a substantial extent.
