Daniel Dubois may in fact be in a big fight with one of China’s biggest heavyweight names of this era next up here.
Dubois not long ago viciously knocked out Anthony Joshua to become IBF heavyweight champion.
He’s still very young in heavyweight terms and only lost to the all time great last year that is Oleksandr Usyk of the Ukriane.
According to some reports online, although not confirmed, a Daniel Dubois vs Zhilei Zhang maybe possible next up.
A quality fight if it can be made and a good return test for Dubois.
