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.”

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.”
