Why does Sam Jones think Daniel Dubois needed a Bryant Jennings fight before Joe Joyce
Many believe that Daniel Dubois is the next big thing in heavyweight boxing. However, it is true that he has fought no one with a good pedigree. So this feels like a jump from the lower-end fighters to the high-end fighters. Joe Joyce had a fight against Bryant Jennings, which many considered a test to see if he could cut it at the top. And he passed with flying colors.
