Unbeaten heavyweight Daniel Dubois is a well-acclaimed knockout artist who has stopped 14 of his 15 opponents on the road to the title fight against Joe Joyce this week.
Fans often compare the 23-year-old Dubois with Mike Tyson for his knock out abilities at such an early age. He is a hard hitter and is efficient in flooring his opponents. But, his upcoming adversary ‘Juggernaut’ has an equally alarming resume, which boasts 10 knockouts from 11 wins. However, it’s still a doubt whether Joyce can handle a big puncher like Dubois.
If Dubois connects, it’s tough for his opponents to remain standing. That said, it clearly puts a doubt on Joyce’s supremacy in the fight. ‘Juggernaut’ also knows to unleash a violent game, but Dubois’ in-ring ferocity is always a threat.

Praising the 23-year-old, Peter Fury said, “Vey sharp speedy puncher Dubois and no, he won’t withstand the power. If he gets him, he gets him with shots. He will go, you know like I said that this is serious. You just can’t block these types of punches with your face. If Dubois gets some shots on him, you know the best one in the world.”
Daniel Dubois can take away the legs with a punch
Former boxer Peter Fury has been in several successful fight camps and has seen several big knockouts in his life. He has explained what it feels like to be rocked inside the ring.
He said, “Look, when you get it right you don’t feel any pain. You don’t feel anything. All you know is your legs are gone and you are staring up at the ceiling. Your balance is gone and you are all over the floor. So, like I said, it’s not about being in pain. It’s about being shocked. When you hit with power, you get shocked.”
