Daniel Dubois will finally make the long-awaited walk to the ring against Joe Joyce on November 28, 2020. The famed promoter, Frank Warren, has long since targeted the bout to actualize throughout 2020; however, the pandemic played spoiler to those plans. What’s more, there have been bookings scattered through to April, July, and October. However, it finally appears that the domestic tussle between Dubois and Joyce will come to fruition.
Frank Warren touched on the magnitude of the aforementioned bout that will now take place on BT Sport. Despite the fight no longer being on a pay-per-view model, Warren believes that it’s critical that the Brits throw down.

“With boxing still being behind closed doors and struggling back to its feet post-Lockdown, I wanted to give something of a gift to British boxing fans. Dubois versus Joyce is the best fight on the British boxing calendar and I want this to be something as many people as possible can enjoy. It’s a bonus that the added exposure gained from the fight will really help the boxers as they move forward with their careers.”
Daniel Dubois aims to make a statement
‘Triple D’ is coming off a blistering second-round TKO of Ricardo Snijders back on August 29, 2020. He retained his WBO international heavyweight title in the process and will look to add more hardware to his collection. Chiefly, he sent fans into a frenzy when he called for a statement win over Joyce via his social media.

Heavyweight scraps like Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin 2 and Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 have generated some massive buzz. Dubois would like to inject himself into the narrative with a clinical win over Joyce.
