    The next two off the Brit Heavyweight conveyor belt...

    We seem to have produced a lot of talent over the last few years. Some from the Ams, others have come from off the radar.

    Assuming Joe Joyce turns over at some point this year, the next in line to replace him on the GB squad is Frazier Clarke.

    Big old unit (6'5"). 25yrs old. Been WSB for a while. Like the look of him actually and will be good to see how he does as the main man on the GB team. Pretty raw though and needs a lot of work



    Also we have the guy who was coming up quick behind Clarke in Daniel Dubois, who has been snapped up recently by Frank Warren. Only 19 years old. Absolutely massive for his age. Unlike a lot of these big guys he has been boxing since he was young.



    Only fights on YT are of him as a 17/18 yr old. Again he looks raw, but definitely lots of talent to work with



    Obviously not saying they will definitely succeed in ams or pro, but good to see the talent keep coming.

    I'm glad you mentioned Dubois because he is probably the most talented new comer to the pro ranks and like you said, he didn't come to the game late. He's boxed at numerous clubs in London and I think is currently training down the road from me at the Pea****. Not bad. Plus only 19, youngest Brit champ ever? If he progresses the way I think he can and if the hw division keeps churning out mediocre fighters, I reckon he can pick up a belt by late 2019 if he really gets pushed.

      Dubois is an intriguing prospect.

        Some better footage of Dubois came online recently. Jab is nice, though Dacres was wide open for it.



        In general im very interested. He looks a lot better schooled than an AJ at the same age, though that doesnt mean that his max level will be as high.

              There's also Nathan Gorman, another traveller from fighting stock, who is promoted and trained by Ricky Hatton. He's fighting for the English title already in a few months. Could be a dark horse

                  He's his great nephew or something, and also apparently a distant relation of the Furys
