    Sounds as though he still hasn't paid Dubois, could be coming to a court room at some stage.

    Very surprised Don King hasn't paid *Cough Cough*

    Not surprised considering the fight looked like it was in a local leisure centre

    Only in boxing would a character like king be allowed to still do business.

    Sold probably 500 tickets? What 2,000 on PPV? I imagine the biggest income was BT paying for it to be on at 11.30 UK time

    Frank Warren shouldn't have let Dubois fight on his card then. He must have known that Don King doesn't pay. Just like himself. Poor from Frank and the Dubois Management team. Atleast get money in escrow.

    I guess they were thinking about getting a title shot off the back of this. You're right about the escrow.

    Who saw this coming?

    Yes it's a meaningless belt but I suspect that's why they risked it to start with

    The biggest surprise was that the fight actually happened, not that Dubois didn’t get paid.

    Dubois might write off the purse as a price worth paying for his WBA toys r us belt.
