Frank Warren Talks Daniel Dubois, Sunny Edwards, More

We’ve got more heavyweight business of our own happening at the BT Studio on Saturday – BT Sport 1 from 7pm – when the best young heavyweight in the world goes in with the 18-1 Dutchman Ricardo Snijders.

Daniel, of course, has got his huge collision with Joe Joyce firmly on the horizon, but he hasn’t fought this year and, like Joe did, he needs a fight to get himself back in full working order.

Of course there is that danger of looking ahead to fight after, but Daniel is such a focused, driven individual that he will treat the job against Snijders in the same way he would a shot at a world title. The fight against Joe is a natural talking point but Daniel won’t be distracted from the foe in front of him.

It should be a lively night for what will be our fifth post-lockdown production and I expect a few fireworks from our super flyweight livewire Sunny Edwards. He takes on the former Olympian Thomas Essomba and if Sunny doesn’t shine he will be in for a few problems against the tough Cameroonian.

It is no secret how highly I rate Sunny and really enjoy watching him fight. It won’t be too long now before we are putting him in the frame for a world title shot and I believe he will be ready for it.

The credentials of Sam Maxwell will be tested to the full when he goes in against former European champion Joe Hughes. Hughes is a top operator who has been in with many of the best super lightweights and has always given a good account of himself.

Sam will have to show us what he has got and it should be a cracker for the BT Sport viewers, who will also get to see the future of the light heavyweight division in Willy Hutchinson, the turbo-charged lightweight Sam Noakes and a young man who will soon be another big player in the heavyweight division in David Adeleye.

Don’t miss a punch by tuning into BT Sport 1 from 7pm.
