    Great to Fabio, Johnny and Daniel Dubois getting in some rounds together up in Ipswich. Can’t wait to catch up with them all myself in a few weeks.

    That's a good look. UK Heavyweights are running the division.

    Do you train/fight yourself then mate as you said you'll be catching up with them.

    Would have been good to see them all in together over the next couple of years.

    noticed Dubois looked very uncomfortable in his ifl interview with Frank Warren yesterday didn’t seem like he could get a word in

    I thought the performances of Vallily and Lartey against Wardley were very suspicious.

    It remains to be seen how good Wardley actually is, when he finally faces someone half decent who is not falling all over the floor over nothing.

    Fisher looked very impressive in his debut but it is very early days yet.

    I think Dubois has a very bright future. I think he can come back from the Joyce loss and still do very well in boxing. Inexperience definitely cost him against Joyce. But he proved in that fight he has world class power, and Joyce confirmed that afterwards.

    Never realised how big Wardley was.

    That was uncomfortable to watch. Two old white men answering questions directed towards a young black man.

    Man that interview is one of the funniest, uncomfortable, and intriguing interviews ever. He was silent for long periods whilst Warren and Bowers were sat next to him talking for him. Anyone on here who hasn't seen it should check it out!

    Dubois is an extremely shy guy, maybe he shouldn't even be having interviews if it affects him that much.

    Great to see. We have some talented heavyweights coming through and these guys getting the rounds in with one another will only bring them on further.

    Also.........anyone saying Wardley is a small HW can simmer down lol

    Agreed and I’m probably reading too much into it. But to me it looked like he wanted out of the bowers and or warren relationship it they’ve got him under contract.

    he started sat camp weren’t right and bowers jumped in before he could say anything.

    seems strange to keep bowers on as manager when he’s not exactly a high level manager with a large roster.

    It will be interesting to see how Dubois changes/improves under Tibbs.

    Dubois should go with Hearn for the sake of his career.

    His stable is a bit meh, I honestly think he could learn far more from some of the old boys at match room.

    Don't get me wrong I think Hearn is pillock but I would still rather sign with him than Warren.

    I get up and train with Fabio when time permits and have been training at Mark’s gym in Rainham since last year. I don’t know Daniel but Fab and Johnny are both great guys out of the ring.

    I don't know how Dubois can give Bowers the time of day after the Joyce fight.
