Last week, Frank Warren held a major press conference to announce the fight British boxing fans have demanded between unbeaten heavyweight KO merchants Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce.
They unbeaten giants will collide in an explosive 12 rounder at The O2, London on Saturday April 11, live on BT Sport Box Office, in one of the biggest fights in world heavyweight boxing.
‘Dynamite' Dubois, is the current British, Commonwealth, WBC Silver and WBO International champion. Olympic silver medallist ‘Juggernaut' Joyce, holds the WBA Gold championship and is the former Commonwealth and WBA Continental champion.
To launch the biggest domestic clash of 2020, the London rivals appeared on Good Morning Britain, where Dubois (14-0, 13 KOs) told his enemy: “I'm going to put you to sleep, bring your sleeping bag.”
Joyce (10-0, 9 KOs) snapped back: “He's going to get knocked out. All my opponents have had winning records, who has he fought?”
The pair then went on to morning radio at Talksport where the hostilities continued and the pair faced off on balcony of The News Building in front of a stunning London skyline.
The pair then appeared at a packed press conference in London’s West End at BT Tower.
“I am confident in myself. He’s going to turn into an old man in the ring. You're going to see him deteriorate, big time. He is making statements but I will prove myself to the world. I see a massive target and I’m gonna let loose. I am going to dominate, move up the ladder and all his fans will become mine after the fight," Dubois said.
"He is getting destroyed — knocked out. This is a new chapter, the next step in my career. I have got to move through Joe, take him out in good fashion and move onto the world. My Dad set me on this journey when I was a young kid and these are the nights we speak about every day. He is going to sleep and taken out in devastating fashion. He will need that sleeping bag. I won’t miss him because he will be there and he’s getting wrecked. Joe is going down."
