2 years , Wilder and Fury will be gone , that leaves just Joshua clash for the undisputed champion of the world.
Would like to see him go through British/Euro level first. He's only 20 and has been matched quite well so far I feel so if I were FW I would keep moving him up gradually like he has and by 23-24 I could see him holding one of the straps (probably the WBO as he's with Warren).
I know it's early but would like to see him in with some domestic guys instead of some of the Europeans he has benn facing. Dubois v Gorman would be a good one.
I don't think he will ever be ready for them but he will be a solid Top 10 heavyweight in 2-3 years imo.
He's very young so I think it will be a few years at least before they throw him in with the top guys, but you never know, Joshua was fast tracked. If Dubois smashes Johnson in his next fight like Joshua did, they might fast track him too. Johnson while past his best is still cagey, taking him out early would make everyone take notice. Dubois has a lot of tools, but he's far from the finished article. He squares up too much and is wide open to be countered when he squares up and lets his hands go. His single shot speed is pretty good but when he throws in combos, he's slow and could get caught if he keeps squaring up and unloading in volume. His progress could also get hampered by people avoiding him. He doesn't have the advantages Joshua had winning Olympic Gold, so he doesn't draw the numbers to make him worth the risk, I could see him labelled too risky for too little reward. That will mean he'll slowly have to move up the rankings to get a mandatory shot which will delay his progress.
In the UK the HWs tend to get moved at a very fast speed. For example Fight 16 for Joshua fight 18 for Chisora who also had a couple of losses fight 25 for T Fury fight 21 for H Fury Dubois has still not had many fights and is young. I would guess he would need to have a few British level fights and maybe then European and who knows. He seems to have alot of potential
Yup. I have not been watching him closely, but from what I have seen, he is the least compelling of the blue-chip prospects. Let's see where he is in five years.
I just saw he's fighting the ghost of Kevin Johnson in October, pretty big step up fight for Dubois after only 8 pro fights.
