    Cojanu.

    Decent opponent to be honest. Still not great though. Not sure what he’s got left either after the Ortiz fight.

    Cojanu stopped by Ortiz and Donnavon Dennis is 2 rounds.. went 12 very negative round with Parker, I reckon Dubois in 5 or less.

    Decent match up.

    Be interesting to see what Dubois has learnt up after fighting Kingpin

    That's an excellent opponent considering it's only his 10th fight.

    Fighting the likes of Johnson and Cojanu so early on is a statement of intent.

    Good enough fight, I'm sure Dubois has lost some confidence after failing to stop KJ.

    Cojanu is a 6'7 lump who will go down under 5 rounds.

    Great profile building opponent. Has name value and doesn’t offer much. Should be a Dubois win in under 7 rounds.

    Zzzzz

    Cojanu, 16-4-0 with wins over fighters with far more losses than wins and beat by any decent fighter he's boxed

    Another bad match up

    Having delved in to his record he’s got no wins of note. I’ve only seen him in the Parker fight if I’m honest. He’s not gona hurt Dubois but he’s robust is what I would’ve said until I’ve seen he’s been destroyed by Ortiz in two.

    With Dubois though he’s a 9 fight novice and only 21. He’s not ranked by any of the alphabets just yet and is learning. His situation is completely different to someone like Yarde who was/is sitting at 1/2 rank with the WBO, rejecting title shots and not fighting any top 40 fighter.

    This is just a(nother) learning fight. They’ve chose Cojanu solely for the fact he’s challenged for a world title. If Dubois’ power is legit he should have him out in the first half of the fight.

    No issue with this with a 21 year old.

    Yeah it wasn't a dig as I see no reason to rush Dubois. It's just the World title challenger tag that warps people's opinion. Let's be honest his Parker fight was a sparring session and the rest of his record is Area level.

    Might go watch this still as it's only up the road.
