Daniel Dubois height

Daniel Dubois is listed as a 6 ft 5 in super heavyweight, but in the photo below Joe Joyce who is listed at 6 ft 6 in clearly has 3 inches on him. This is the era of the super heavyweight boxing champions, Dubois is touted as the next big thing in boxing partly because he is considered to be a super heavyweight, but if Dubois is the same height as Usyk maybe he will not fulfill expectations of him?

Edit:
Don't know how to attach an image. So here's the article (it's the first image).

How do you attach an image lol?

 

Yes that also explains his fighting style. He throws good combinations to body and head. With a super heavyweight reach he probably wouldn't be able to throw those shots so fluently.

 

Dubois weight also supports the argument that he is not a super heavyweight. The first time I saw Dubois, at 6 ft 5 with the amount of mass he has in his upper body, I expected him to be at least 240 lbs. He's around 230 lbs if I'm not mistaken. I know Dubois is still very young so he'll fill out more and gain more weight/muscle, but he should still be at or above 240 lbs if he was really 6 ft 5 and carrying all that muscle.

 

Same here, Joe Joyce's head is also much bigger than Dubois's head. Not only does Joyce have about a 3 inch height advantage, he is also 260+ pounds so is also much heavier than Dubois. We don't know whether Dubois's punches have one punch knockout power at the elite level, and with Joyce's big weight advantage he just might walk through Dubois or at least not be deterred by his power.

 

That makes more sense, thanks. I was a bit worried Dubois was too small for Joyce, now I can see that Dubois is legitimately 6 ft 5 inches. And I just learned Joyce is half Nigerian, on his mother's side. It seems the Nigerians have a few heavyweights in the mix for the top spot in the division.
