Daniel Dubois Aims to Go Through Hrgovic Like ‘a Hot Knife Through Butter'

Daniel Dubois’ entire life has been geared towards becoming the heavyweight champion of the world.  Still, despite the tens of thousands of hours he has spent working on his craft and the highlight reel of spectacular knockouts he has compiled since he turned professional as an 18-year-old prodigy, Dubois’ boxing life is currently defined by two, split-second decisions.

Filip Hrgovic is far too professional to overlook the threat posed by Daniel Dubois, but it would be fair to say that the unbeaten Croatian is supremely confident of beating the Londoner when they meet on June 1. It has emerged that Hrgovic, 17-0 (14 KOs), got the better of a young Dubois during a couple of sparring sessions. Despite a promise from the 26-year-old Dubois to put his opponent to sleep in Saudi Arabia, Hrgovic – who has taken to calling his rival “Big Duck” after a clumsy cartoon character he used to watch as a child – hasn’t seen anything to suggest things will be different when the pair swap punches for real. “He's just a little baby for me,” Hrgovic told Queensberry. “He’s not going to put me to sleep. I’ve fought much bigger punchers and they haven’t put me to sleep. He’s not going to put me to sleep; I’m going to destroy him. He’s not mature enough for me.
