    Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions revealed on Wednesday a change of opponents for its stud heavyweight, as Dubois (15-0, 14KOs) will now face The Netherlands’ Ricardo Snijders (18-1, 8KOs) atop an August 29 show live from BT Sport Studio in East London. Whispers of Pfeifer being removed from the mix were first revealed by The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger, citing sources that apparently had better information than Pfeifer (7-0, 5KOs) and his team who learned of the development through social media.

    “These guys are not to be respected,” Erol Ceylan, Pfeifer’s promoter as head of EC Boxing told *******.com on Wednesday. “They claim there was an issue with paperwork; that’s bullsh-t. We submitted all medical documents in time, but never heard back from anyone from Warren’s team.

    “We asked for the contract, never heard back for days from anyone. Now Erik’s training camp is completely wasted because of these aassh-les.”

    Not a good look for Dubois...

    That's next level sad and very telling if they're scared of a complete and utter worthless bum like Pfeifer. I mean Jesus, I'm pretty sure even Gorman and Sena Turner could dispatch of him.:lol:

    I'm expected to believe they "ran" from a 7-0 33 year old, ranked 99 on boxrec? Who recently got a MD against a 7-7 nobody? Several of those wins are even against Georgians -- a bunch of charlatans with fake records.

    Sucks for Pfeifer I guess, but I don't think Dubois "ran" from him. So I don't know what happened and I don't care.

    Pfeifer was a solid amateur. Solid WSB run too. Warren was afraid of something for sure. Pfeifer was probably looking good in sparring and an insider leaked it to Warren who opted to instead pullout. Either that or mulling over Pfeifers amateur and WSB credentials got the better of him, despite Pfeifer not impressing at all in the pros thus. Blatant duck regardless.

    He was an amateur stud. Warren had second thoughts it's clear as day.

    My understanding was the fight was organised by Queensburys matchmaker and agreed by Dubois and team.

    however last week after a number of UK journos asked frank in interviews why the risky opponent in pfiefer. He didn’t realise he had such a strong background as he hadn’t heard of him and thought he was a journeyman with a padded record. When the journos alerted frank he apparently called the shots above his staff and demanded they replace the opponent. He doesn’t want any risks for the Joyce fight. As he doesn’t have much left that’s PPV level in his stable.

    Oh well, a knockover job it is for Dubois then. A shame for Pfeifer.

    I said from the get go that Pfeiffer would be too much of a risk for a tune up, but didn't expect Warren to chicken out like that. (Singling out Warren because I'm sure Dubois himself would have no problem facing Pfeiffer)

    Absolutely, Pfeiffer too dangerous as a 'tune up'.

    I don’t follow ams, so enlighten me: why was he considered so great?

    I do see plenty of big names on his resume from the amateurs, but every single one is a loss.

    It'll be Warren for sure. The guy who forced Warren to make fights against Gorman and Joyce isn't running from Pfeifer.
