Get ready for an explosive comeback! Former IBF champion Daniel Dubois is back, and he's bringing the heat to the heavyweight division. But here's the twist: his journey back to the top isn't without its controversies and intriguing possibilities.
The Return of the Giant
Dubois, a formidable puncher with a record of 22-3 (21 KOs), is set to make his return to the ring, and it seems like China's towering figure, Zhilei Zhang, could be his next opponent. This match-up has been hinted at by Frank Warren, and Dubois' manager, Sam Jones, is working tirelessly to make it a reality.
But here's where it gets interesting: Dubois has reunited with his former trainer, Don Charles, after a brief stint with Tony Sims. Charles, who was hurt by Dubois' departure following the Usyk defeat, is now back in the corner, guiding Dubois through this new chapter of his career.
"We're actively working on getting Daniel back in the ring soon. He's raring to go and ready to fight. London in April is a possibility we're exploring," Jones revealed.
And this is the part most people miss: Dubois is open to taking on Agit Kabayel, the WBC interim heavyweight champion. Kabayel, who is likely to fight in Germany, could face an English opponent, and Dubois has expressed his eagerness for this bout.
"Daniel wants Kabayel. He'd jump at the chance to fight him in Germany. It would be an exciting battle, and with their styles, it's unlikely to go the distance. We're ready for that challenge," Jones added.
However, there's a catch. Dubois also has his eyes on Fabio Wardley, the WBO heavyweight champion. While Wardley holds the power to choose his voluntary defenses, Dubois is eager for the opportunity.
"Daniel's CV speaks for itself. He's willing to fight anyone. Whether it's Zhang, Kabayel, or Wardley, he's ready. It's an exciting time for boxing fans!"
So, what do you think? Who should Dubois face next? And will we see him back in the ring soon? Let's discuss in the comments and share your thoughts on this intriguing comeback story!
