Easier said than done, as Dubois is also a knockout artist and can surprise Joyce at any point in the contest. Thus, we might see fireworks when the duo gets inside the ring.

Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce have already begun the war of words

In their recent interviews, the heavyweight gladiators have opened up about their relationship, constantly demeaning each other’s skills. While they understand each other’s capabilities, they are equally confident about bagging the win.

During an interaction with BT Sport, the duo lashed out at each other. Taking out the ‘Juggernaut’ with words, Dubois said, “I am gonna crush him and I am gonna win.”

However, Joyce doesn’t believe the same. In response, he said, “Let’s get it ready, let’s see if you are ready. Let’s see if you are man enough to take me on, to take on the ‘Juggernaut.’ ” When ‘Dynamite Dubois’ vowed to stop Joe, his opponent said, “I don’t think so.”

Meanwhile, the entire bad-blood rivalry kicked off with some personal level taunts. In the buildup to the fight, Dubois has taken Joyce’s mother’s name in one of his trash-talk sessions. To which, Joyce responded harshly in an interview with IFL TV.

He said, “We both really don’t like each other, so it’s just one of the things that happens in the heat of the moment. We are getting ready to go to war inside the ring. I remember what Dubois said about my mom. He is getting knocked out.”

The heavyweight matchup will be a 12 round affair in London, and the winner will walk away with a title and an opportunity to proceed for the other world titles in the heavyweight division.
