    Dubois has already knocked Anthony Joshua spark out. This kid is the future, mark my words.

      Yeah I reckon more AJ than Wilder. Dubois looks really solid technically for this stage in his career and his age. Be interesting to see how they move him along side Nathan Gorman. Gorman is a similar age but has had much tougher fights so far. I think they will want to keep them at a similar pace generally and match them later on.

      We have good British HWs but the actual domestic scene is poor. Sam Sexton is British champ lol. I think both Gorman and Dubois will moved to that sort of level pretty quick .

      Dubois keeps tweeting (or whoever controls his twitter account) #everybelt. So I assume they are gonna go for the English - British - EBU route otherwise that whole angle is pointless. Hopefully anyway.

      Funny enough i was looking at Gorman resume last week, and couldn't believe he is only 21. I was truly shocked because he is balding and i assumed he was around 27 by looking at his resume.

      I has definitely fought better opponents and i could see these two clashing down the line.

      Is Lawrence okolio (Name?) now at cruiserweight or HW? I heard him and Chamberlain might be kicking off at each other soon.

        Okolie is at Cruiser. Yeah sounds like him and Chamberlain are gonna be facing each other in February. They have been calling each other out for a while. Good fight between two prospects

        Yeah Gorman is an unfortunate looking 21 year old. At least he doesnt have his looks to think about during his career

        If it wasnt for the fact he is chubby and doesnt look the part, he might be talked about more than Dubois tbh. He has different attributes with his speed and athleticism (just lol when you compare how they both look) and Dubois strength and power, but they are both very well schooled. Gorman has stopped more durable fighters than Dubois so far.

          One day Dubois and AJ would battle it out like Haye vs Bellew

            I like Gorman. He's deceptively quick and skillful for someone his size and weight. You can tell where he's picked up some of those shots. The body work he's capable of is very similar to...Hatton...who trains him. He'd probably improve a lot more once he gets his diet and nutrition at the level it should be.

            Probably going to be a good domestic level scrap between Dubois and Gorman to settle which one is going to reach for the stars and which one will be seeing stars. I'll pay to watch it.

            The only real winner here is Frank Warren. He's got a huge card there. He literally has two young prospects capable of taking over the division and wrestling away the heavyweight financial power from Eddie Hearn and his stable of AJ, Whyte, Chisora and the fake heavyweight Bellew.

            Just when you thought he was done he's come out of nowhere to sign some good fighters, get the rights to some of the best evenly matched fights this year for BoxNation with Rigo and Lomachenko in December still to come.

              Not dis*****g that...only difference is that Dubois was 19 years old at the time of the droppage and hadn't turned pro yet while Joshua was world champion.

                Understood but i don't really think it matters if one is a teenager and the other is a world champion, they are boxers first and foremost and thats is boxing/sparring.
