The all black attire worn as Daniel Dubois walks into the ring tonight, could be seen as a salute to the Former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson who inspired “Dynamite” Daniel Dubois as a kid.
Just like “Iron” Mike Tyson, Dubois has shown the killer instinct which has seen him build an impressive record of 12-0 with 11 victories by knockout.
Dubois’s 12th fight for the British Heavyweight title against the unbeaten Nathan Gorman was considered by some to be a 50/50 fight for the 22 year old from Greenwich. However Gorman proved to be no contest for Dubois who lived up to his nickname by didmantling Gorman in 5 rounds.
Although his opponent Ebenezer Tetteh has an impressive-looking record of 19-0, this will be the first time that the 31 year old Ghanaian will be fighting outside of his hometown of Accra.
Also the calibre of opponents Tetteh has faced, don’t match the level of opponents Dubois has faced and the Commonwealth title should be another belt that Dubois should be the owner of tonight.
Bigger fights are on the horizon for Dubois with “The Juggernaut ” Joe Joyce a potential big domestic fight in the near future.
There is no rush at this stage in Dubois’s career to be challenging the top tier Heavyweights but should he continue to seek and destroy opponents in devastating fashion similar to a teenage Mike Tyson, it may not be too long before the Boxing world will sit up and take notice of “Dynamite” Dubois as a major threat for the Heavyweight crown.
