Daniel Dubois’ promoter, Frank Warren, has finally given an update on the extent of the fighter’s injury. Dubois fought Joe Joyce on November 28 and lost the fight via count-out after the 23-year-old didn’t get up from taking a knee.

The highly rated youngster was on the receiving end of vicious jabs from his opponent throughout the fight, which caused a severe swelling on his left eye. Ultimately, this caused his defeat on the night.

Promoter Frank Warren has now given an update on the severity of the gruesome injury. Speaking to SecondsOut on YouTube, the Englishman said, “He’s attended ‘eyesthetics’, which is a… Specializes in eye injury, on three days running now. Because, a lot of the things they can’t do now because, his eye’s still swollen. It’s not like they can do anything till that swelling goes down.”

This shows just how bad an injury it was. Warren went on to say they finally have confirmation of the injuries.

He said, “But they’ve diagnosed and we have that written confirmation today that he has a broken orbital. It’s the floor, floor bone of the orbital that’s broken. He had a hemorrhage in his retina.”

This is bad news for the ‘Dynamite’. The severity and the delay in treatment will only increase his time out from the ring.
