In the first press conference, Dubois made a comment about Joyce’s mother being blind; he said she will not have to worry because she won’t see her son on the canvas. Joyce, who has more experience, chose to reply in the ring. And speaking to iFL TV on YouTube after the fight, Opara said, “Hopefully he’s learned his lesson now, and he has to respect his elders now.

She took a big swipe at him for his comments when she said, “And now [that] he’s got his eye all bust-up, now you know what it’s like not to see. So anyway, message to you Daniel Dubois…. ‘Now you was flattened’. No, you quit.”

Joyce peppered Dubois with powerful jabs to the left eye. By the tenth round, the ‘Dynamite’s’ eye was swollen to the extent that he could not see. This eventually made him take a knee till the count-out.
