    For those who don't know the UK scene that well, this kid is a very good up and comer. A threat to any of the current top dogs, in my opinion. Remember the name.

    Anthony Yarde is ready to step it up at LH, another good one but needs to get a big fight soon.
    Way, way too early...

    A lot of people I know down south are really high on this kid and I’ve heard a lot of stories including him dropping a famous HW who boxed at Finchley. But stories are stories I’ve also heard from a reliable source that Gorman used to regularly beat this kid up in sparring when they boxed at GB. You have to take these things with a pinch of salt though.

    I honestly don’t think there is enough evidence either amateur or pro to suggest Dubois is a future world champion, I mean just look at his resume: his best two wins are against guys who couldn’t even win an area title. As I said it’s way too early.

        Put him in against Joyce and the winner will emerge as a player on the big scene.

          Dubois looks very promising. Maybe he will become champion.

            So yes, I agree- English level etc at the moment, but that’s the point. If you’re gonna flag someone as potentially champ you’re more astute the earlier you do it. You’re not sold on him yet, and I believe he’s going to be a word belt holder in the next 30 months. Let’s see.
            That’s fine mate no issues with you saying that. Dubois looks great, but I personally need to see a bit more before I jump two feet in

              Thought he'd fight Nathan Gorman... nah of course not, he'll fight another tomato can instead. Lol @ that muppet calling a 45-year-old Kevin Johnson a gatekeeper. Which gate is he keeping then? He's a US clubfighter.

                Did that tube really just say "world belt holder in 30 months"? Obviously hasn't paid attention to how slowly Frank Warren moves these fighters.

                  Not sure I’d describe Johnson as gatekeeper, but he’s an excellent opponent for Dubois at this stage. Coming off a TKO win over Pianeta, and decision losses to Pulev and Andy Ruiz jnr. He’ll do everything better than all Dubois’ opponents so far

                    He doesn't have to fight Joyce yet. Dubois is a baby in comparison and doesn't need to be rushed like Joyce does. Hopefully they can set the gorman fight up and we'll see where both of them are.

                      Will Dubois then face Milas, who just destroyed the face of Kevin Johnson?

                      And had a decision victory against Pianeta.
