    Remember the name!

    19 Years Old and looks like he was created in some secret lab somewhere, he's freaky in the same way Tyson was.

    OK, it is early days but if there's any merit in early Talent ID and reading future potential then this kid is going to be special.

    6'5"
    235lbs

    Dedicated and works himself to a standstill in the gym or sparring
    Reportedly he has one of the hardest jabs in the game
    He has quick feet
    Heavy hands
    He has been chin checked and walked straight through, albeit at a lower level of quality
    You can see he has that bloodlust killer instinct when opponents are hurt

    I'll say again, he's 19 Years old FFS!

    He's going to be interesting to watch

    Seen him live twice and to be honest its very difficult to reallly assess him against the opposition i saw. Would love to see what hes like in the gym sparring.

    He needs to face better opposition but u suspect Frank wants to build a KO machine for a few years against bums.

    Doesnt need to bee rushed but i would imagine they are aiming for Joshua in maybe 3-5 years?

    He's obviously got potential, but I'll reserve judgement until he fights a live opponent.

    Would love to see that fat guy Dubious beat, fight Dustin Nichol's. Reckon the worm would do a number on him. Deontay obviously fights the more dangerous big boned fighters!

    Well done to Dubois for not wasting 4 years of his life going down the olympic route.

    He is definitely European level IMO, whether he is world we will have to see as he steps up...

    With his youth in mind, I consider him the top heavyweight prospect.

    I'm excited about a few other prospects like Teslenko and Mladen Miljas, but I think Dubois looks the most promising.

    Want to see what his chin is like, he needs to be careful with his weight as he gets older as well.

    His punching power looks ridiculous, he looks well skilled and athletic and looks to be taking his profession very seriously. Obviously too early to say for sure but im convinced we have a future world title holder here.

    Looks good.... But don't hop on the bandwagon too soon. Don't forget what happened to Price or Afarce... This guy would be a future top contender, or the next big flop... I just hope his promoter doesn't put all his marbles into him only for it not to work out, then lose it and undergo a sex change.

    Don't see him as anything but a fringe man and possible contender just now, which is a couple of years away at least. Looks quite limited in his movement to me.

    His promoter needs to stop scheduling useless 1 rounders and give him something to work with.

    Lol! Nah. Oleksander Teslenko is a much better prospect. So is Filip Hrgovic. Remember THOSE names ;)
