Daniel Dubois says he cannot see his British heavyweight title fight with Joe Joyce going the distance. Dubois said he believes that Joyce has gained confidence from having sparred him ahead of Joyce’s appearance at the 2016 Olympics when Dubois was a teenager. “I’m a different animal now. You are going to become an old man that night,” Dubois said at a press conference to announce the fight, at the O2 arena, London, on April 11.

Joe Joyce might have a warm-up fight before facing Daniel Dubois in a clash of unbeaten British heavyweights in April.
