Young heavyweight Daniel Dubois has been tipped for greatness in the sport by many observers. In fact, the 23-year-old Brit had a lot of hype around him until he lost to Joe Joyce. However, the Londoner seems to be getting his confidence back.
Dubois’ loss brought about heaps of criticism from fellow competitors. Many even labeled the young star a quitter, and heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte was at the forefront of these accusations. However, Dubois has now retaliated.

If the 23-year-old rushes into another big fight against another experienced campaigner, it would yield the same result, especially after such a crushing defeat in his last fight. Therefore, the sensible thing for Dubois would be to get three or four more fights before taking on Whyte.
Thus, that would mean fans would not get to see that match-up for at least another two years. However, stranger things have happened in boxing, and thus, you never know when they could agree to a fight.
