AT LAST, Daniel Dubois vs. Joe Joyce is finally happening. It is a fight that has captured the public imagination and it goes down this Saturday night live on BT Sport 1 HD from 7.30pm. Below are a selection of prediction quotes from some of the biggest names in the sport, and a few famous fans for good measure.
Jessie Vargas believes he will become a three-weight world champion and said on the latest episode of Matchroom Boxing’s podcast ‘The Lockdown Tapes’ that he’s ready to go all-out to make that a reality when boxing returns.
Liam Smith believes Saul Alvarez’s team attempted to embarrass his brother. The former WBO super-welterweight world champion was stopped by ‘Canelo’ back in September 2017 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Former WBO World Super-Welterweight king Smith (29-2-1 16 KOs) is plotting his route to becoming a two-time World champion, and the 31 year old wants that route to include a huge all-British fight with Brook, the former IBF Welterweight ruler.
Former WBO light middleweight world champion Liam Smith (29-2-1, 16 KOs) has his eye on a fight with Jessie Vargas should a fight with Kell Brook not materialise this year. Boxing in 2020 is currently at a standstill because of the deadly Covid-19 worldwide pandemic, and Smith says that should boxing resume in the summer then a fight with Brook has to happen by the end of the year or it never will.
Liam Smith doesn’t think Kell Brook is afraid to fight him from a physical standpoint. The former WBO junior middleweight champ suspects Brook is more fearful of how a potential loss to Smith would damage his legacy. Brook has lost only to IBF middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin and unbeaten IBF/WBC welterweight champ Errol Spence Jr., who knocked out Brook in back-to-back bouts in September 2016 and May 2017.
Liam Smith grew up as one of four boxing brothers but was always known as ‘the tough one’… The former world champion, who will continue his climb back towards another world title shot later this year, was often out on the streets of Liverpool’s Kirkdale neighbourhood and rarely lost a fight.
Liam Smith is pushing and doing everything possible to set down a fight with fellow former world champion Kell Brook. Brook returned to the ring last month in Sheffield, snapping a 14 month layoff with a one-sided knockout of Mark DeLuca. Smith was sitting at ringside and made it clear that he wanted to face Brook next.
