Same old trick from his promoters, advertise a higher quality opponent knowing the fight wont take place. Same with the Frampton fight. Told everyone Traynor was a late replacement, though Jamie Moore mentioned they know for ages he wasnt fighting advertised opponent and they then had 6 or 7 different opponents afterwards.
I thought the original opponent was an unnecessary risk. Turns out it was never going to happen. This can be looked as a glorified sparring session and then onto Joyce which is a good fight. October isn't long away either.
This and the recent Frampton fight is the reason why Matchroom has zero competition in UK Boxing. Hardly anybody is watching the boxing on BT Sport and all roads lead to Sky Box Office on Saturday for a great card and excellent headline fight for the Mandatory World Heavyweight Championship position. Anthony Joshua at ringside, fireworks, Sweet Caroline and a World Title Fight all for the price of 4 beers. Roll on Saturday.
Dubois goes from sparring the likes of Bakole to fighting this can. Literally just a highlight reel KO opportunity to promote the Joyce fight
