[5]

Professional career

Early career

Dubois' first fight as a professional was a knockout win in the first 35 seconds of the first round against Marcus Kelly in April 2017. [7] In his fourth fight, he knocked out Mauricio Barragan, a late substitute, in the second round to win the vacant WBC Youth heavyweight title. [8] [9] In October 2017, he knocked out AJ Carter in the first round to claim the Southern Area heavyweight title. [10] [11] He won the English heavyweight title in his eighth fight in June 2018, beating journeyman Tom Little by stoppage in the fifth round. [12] He won the WBO European title in March 2019, beating former WBO heavyweight title challenger, Răzvan Cojanu, in two rounds. [13] Dubois was taken the full distance for the first time by veteran Kevin Johnson in October 2018, winning on points after ten rounds, [14] and beat Richard Lartey in the fourth round in April 2019. [15] [16]

In July 2019, he beat Nathan Gorman by knockout in the fifth round to improve his record to 12 wins, 11 by stoppage, and win the vacant British heavyweight title. [6] [17] Boxing journalist Steve Bunce said he “...fought like an old, seasoned bruiser, his feet flawless, his jab a stiff weapon inherited from relics of the ring". [6] BBC boxing correspondent Mike Costello described him as "...one of the brightest prospects in the sport at the moment." [17]

In his next fight, Dubois faced Ebenezer Tetteh. Dubois blasted Tetteh out in the first round, dropping him twice in the process. [18]

After that, Dubois faced Japanese heavyweight Kyotaro Fujimoto. Fujimoto was overmatched from the beginning, fighting to survive from the opening bell. In the second round, Dubois connected on a right hand that knocked out Fujimoto. [19]

On 29 August 2020, Dubois had another dominant win, this time against Ricardo Snijders. Dubois managed to drop his opponent three times in the first round. The first round would end up being the last that Snijders would survive, as the referee waved the fight off after Dubois dropped his opponent for the fourth time. [20]

Rise up the ranks

Dubois vs. Joyce

On 7 February 2020, a press release came out to officially announce Dubois vs. Joe Joyce (11-0, 10 KOs). The fight was scheduled to take place on 11 April at The O2 Arena in London, live on BT Sport Box Office. Dubois would be defending his British, Commonwealth, WBC Silver and WBO International titles and Joyce would be defending his WBA Gold title. The fight was billed as "Seek & Destroy". The fight was promoted by Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. Dubois said the fight would be his 'most devastating performance' of his career. [21] [22] [23] [24] Days after the fight was announced, Joyce split with trainer Adam Booth. He had reportedly signed with his former trainer Ismael Salas and headed to Las Vegas to train at the UFC Training Center. The split with Booth was amicable, according to Joyce and his manager Sam Jones. Salas became Joyce's fourth trainer in only his eleventh professional fight. [25] Salas stated Joyce would be in top shape for the fight. Although his previous coaches did a good job, they never understood his body. He also stated Joyce would be Dubois' biggest test, someone he has been following since his debut. [26] On 20 February, it was confirmed the vacant European heavyweight title would be at stake. [27]

On 12 March, Frank Warren stated the fight was still scheduled to take place despite the coronavirus concerns and everything would be closely monitored. [28] On 26 March, the BBBofC had cancelled all UK boxing events and lockdown in the UK was also confirmed. The fight was pushed back to 11 July 2024. Frank Warren did not want the fight to take place behind closed doors. [29] [30] [31] By May 2020, the July fight date was also looking unlikely, due to the British Board's request to have any events without an attendance. Joyce was open to having an interim bout in between. [32] On 25 June, the fight was again rescheduled. This time to take place on 24 October at The O2 Arena. Warren hoped by then, the BBBofC would allow limited crowd to attend the event. [33] [34] [35] Joyce had an interim bout against Michael Wallisch, on 25 July, who he defeated via 3rd round TKO. [36] On 29 August, Dubois stopped late replacement Ricardo Snijders in round 2. Dubois was originally scheduled to fight unbeaten two-time Olympic Erik Pfeifer. [37]

There was speculation the fight would likely be pushed back further another month. Both boxers said they would take the fight without any fans. On 6 October, Warren announced the fight would take place on BT Sports, without pay-per-view, which was considered a huge reversal, on 28 November at Church House in London. The fight billing changed to "At Last" after being rescheduled three times. [38] [39] Prior to the fight, the bookmakers had Joyce the underdog heading in. Joyce felt insulted and overlooked. Majority bookmakers also had the fight expected to not go the distance. Joyce stated this boosted his confidence going into the fight and vowed, “people who bet on me will have a nicer Christmas.” Joyce was also criticized on is physique when he fought Wallisch. [40] The fight was looked at a genuine 50-50, with many boxing pundits and boxers unable to separate the two. [41] Only two days before the fight, Joyce team hit a setback as trainer Salas tested positive for Covid upon arriving at the hotel in London. The fight was still scheduled to go ahead with Steve Broughton brought in Joyce's corner alongside Jimmy Tibbs. [42] [43] Dubois weighed 244.4 pounds. Joyce came in heavier at 258.9 pounds. [44] [45]

In a closely contested fight that had implications for future world title hopes, Dubois was landing the harder and cleaner punches while Joyce stayed at range behind powerful jabs. The repeated accurate jabs from Joyce caused swelling to the left eye of Dubois from the second round. In the tenth, after another hard jab landed on his now-swollen-shut eye, Dubois went down on one knee, allowing the referee to count him out to suffer the first loss of his career. At the time of stoppage, only one judge had Joyce ahead 87-84 and the other two judges had Dubois ahead 86-85 and a controversial 88-83, only giving Joyce two rounds. [46] [47] [48] [49] According to the CompuBox Stats, Dubois landed 146 of his 486 punches thrown, at 30% connect rate. 82 landed were power shots. Joyce was less accurate, landing 125 of his 544 thrown, at 23% connect. Joyce landed 98 jabs which was 79.6% of his total output. [50] Dubois was hit with claims that he quit from fellow boxers and pundits, however was also backed by some, saying it was the right decision and potentially saved his career. [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] Following the fight it was revealed that Dubois had suffered a broken left orbital bone and nerve damage around the eye and would be out of action for around six months. [57] [58]

Dubois vs. Dinu

After a layoff of over six months, on 16 April 2021 it was announced that Dubois would return to the ring on 5 June to face Bogdan Dinu (20-2, 16 KOs) at the Telford International Centre in Telford. Dinu had only lost two fights prior to Jarrell Miller and Kubrat Pulev had 20 wins. The fight was for the vacant WBA interim heavyweight title. [59] [60] [61] Dubois said he would approach the fight as if he was starting his professional career again. [62] Following his first professional defeat, Dubois split with trainer Martin Bowers and hired Mark Tibbs in February 2021. In May, Dubois split with Tibbs and hired Shane McGuigan. According to reports, it was Tibbs, who had told team Dubois that he had other commitments, which caused the split. [63] To prepare for Dubois, Dinu trained in Buzau, Romania with Jarrell Miller. [64] Dubois weighed 240.3 pounds, slightly lighter than his loss to Joyce. Dinu weighed 250.4 pounds. [65]

Dubois won the bout by second-round knockout, winning the vacant WBA interim heavyweight title in the process. The win also made him the mandatory challenger for the WBA (Regular) title held by undefeated Trevor Bryan. It was Dubois' right hand which connected Dinu's jaw that dropped him to the canvas. Dinu was unable to continue and the fight was stopped after 31 seconds. [66] [67]

Dubois vs. Cusumano

On 31 July 2021, it was reported that Dubois would make is US debut. He along with Tommy Fury would appear on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on 29 August at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Fury appeared on the card to help promote a future fight with Jake Paul. it would mark the first time Dubois would fight outside of the UK. [68] He faced Joe Cusumano (19-3, 17 KOs), and prevailed via first-round technical knockout victory. Dubois took some punishment, but fought through this to score three knockdowns. [69] [70] In his post-fight interview, he expressed interest in challenging Trevor Bryan for his WBA (Regular) title. Frank Warren considered a successful debut in the United States. [71]

WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion

Dubois vs. Bryan

Discussions first began for Dubois to challenge WBA 'regular' champion Trevor Bryan in August 2021 prior to Dubois making is US debut. Frank Warren stated negotiations would hopefully begin shortly after. [72] In the meantime, previous WBA regular belt holder Mahmoud Charr filed a lawsuit against Bryan's promoter Don King. King later won a purse bid for a Bryan-Charr fight. Whilst waiting for a contract from King, Charr threatened to sue and boycott the WBA. In January 2022, Charr was removed as champion-in-recess and not able to travel to the USA due to VISA issues. Bryan went on to beat replacement Jonathan Guidry via split decision. [73] [74] [75] [76]

Following the win, on 1 February, the WBA ordered Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs) to defend the belt against Dubois, with possible purse bids to take place on 14 March and the fight to take place before 28 July 2022. [77] Purse bids were postponed to 21 March. Don King Productions won the purse bids with an offer of $3,116,001, beating Queensberry Promotions bid of $2,503,000. A per splits, Bryan was entitled to take home a purse of $1,713,800.55 (55%) and the remaining 45%, which equated to $1,402,200.45 was for Dubois. King proposed the fight would land in either London, New York or South Florida. [78] On 5 May, the fight was announced to take place at the Casino Miami Jai-Alai in Miami on 11 June on PPV. It was billed as “The Fight for Freedom and Peace”. Bryan was receiving support during his training camp from Larry Holmes. The fight was picked up by BT Sport in the UK, who would also broadcast a card in the UK as a split-site telecast, headlined by Liam Davies challenging Marc Leach for the British super bantamweight title. [79] [80]

There was approximately 500 spectators in attendance. Dubois defeated Bryan by knockout in the fourth round to become the WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion. There was little action in the opening two rounds. Dubois caught Bryan with a right hand to the towards the end of round 3 which hurt him. In round 4, it was a left-right combination from Dubois that dropped Bryan to the canvas, face first. On his attempt to beat the referees count, Bryan fell face down on the canvas again and counted out. In the post-fight interview, Dubois said, “No disrespect to anyone, but Trevor’s ‘0’ had to go. That’s just it.” Trainer Shane McGuigan said they would like to make a defence of the title in London and mentioned Dillian Whyte as a potential opponent. The win also meant Dubois would become mandatory challenger to unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. [81] [82] [83]

On 2 August, Dubois filed a lawsuit against Don King Productions. The documents alleged that Don King was yet to pay Dubois his full purse. According to Dubois, between $463,274.32 and $938,274.32 was still owed to him. There was also uncertainty as to whether the IRS or the WBA sanction fees were already paid by King on Dubois' behalf. [84] [85] A couple of weeks later the case was settled and Dubois was paid in full. [86] [87]

Dubois vs. Lerena

In October 2022, Dubois was in talks to made his first defence of the WBA (Regular) heavyweight title against Australian heavyweight Lucas Browne. However, due to his age, the BBBofC immediately refused to sanction the contest. Within a couple of days, ESPN reported no. 13 ranked Kevin Lerena had been offered the fight and accepted. A deal was being finalised to take place in December 2022.

On 20 October, a press release was put out which announced Dubois would make the first defence of his WBA (Regular) heavyweight title against Kevin Lerena (28-1, 14 KOs) on 3 December, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Derek Chisora III. Lerena had not lost since November 2014 and was coming into this bout on a 17-fight win streak. [88] [89] [90] Both boxers trash talked during the final presser. Dubois weighed 240.25 pounds and Lerena came in at a lean 231 pounds. [91]

Although he was knocked down in the first round 3 times, Dubois prevailed and won by 3rd round technical knockout. Dubois was dropped by Lerena's left hand on all three occasions. Dubois still looked hurt going into round 2. In round 3, Dubois dropped Lerena with a massive right hand to the head. Dubois then landed several big uppercuts to put Lerena on the canvas as the bell rang. Referee Howard Foster stopped the fight as Lerena picked himself up from the canvas. [92] [93]

According to Barry McGuigan, Dubious was due to be side-lined for several months due to an ACL tear he suffered in win over Lerena. [94]

A few months later, reports confirmed that Dubois had split with trainer Shane McGuigan and partnered with Don Charles ahead of the potential world title fight with Oleksandr Usyk in the Summer of 2023. Dubois has been with McGuigan since May 2021 and won all four of his fights with in via stoppage. [95]

Dubois vs. Usyk

On 3 April 2023, the WBA officially ordered the world title consolidation between WBA 'regular' titleholder Dubois and the unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). Both parties where given 30-day negotiation period. Earlier reports suggested the fight could take place in London or Manchester in England. Although no date or location had been confirmed, Alex Krassyuk stated the fight could take in a stadium in Poland. [96] [97] [98] In May 2023, purse bids were held. Usyk’s career-long promoter Krassyuk gained control of the fight with a massive bid of $8,057,000, which was more than the $5,620,050 submitted by Queensberry Promotions. A fight date in August was being eyed. As per the purse splits, Usyk was to take home $6,042,750 (75% of the winning bid) and Dubois was to take a career-high $2,014,250 payday. [99] The fight took place on 26 August at the Stadion Wroclaw in Wrocław, Poland for Usyk's WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring titles. The date aligned with Ukraine's Independence Day. An attendance of around 24,000 was expected. [100] [101]

While Usyk retained his titles via ninth-round stoppage, there was controversy surrounding the events of the fifth round, when Usyk dropped to the canvas following a punch from Dubois that was ruled a low blow by referee Luis Pabon. Accordingly, Usyk was given a maximum of five minutes to recover, but despite declaring he was ready to continue, Pabon urged Usyk to take more time out. Usyk ultimately used three minutes and forty-five seconds before the fight resumed. Usyk forced Dubois to take a knee in the eighth round and again in the ninth round, where he was counted out. [102] [103] According to CompuBox stats, Usyk had outlanded Dubois in every round of the fight, landing 88 of 359 punches thrown (24.5%) to Dubois' 47 of 290 (16.2%). Dubois failed to land double digits in any round of the fight. [104]

Debate followed regarding the fifth round, many observers believed the low blow was a legal punch and thus potentially resulted in a KO victory for Dubois. In his post-fight interview, Dubois said, "I didn’t think that was a low blow. I thought that landed, and I’ve been cheated out of victory tonight.” However, Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk argued "The belly button is the line. Anything low of that is a low blow." This argument was echoed by others including boxers Tony Bellew and Liam Smith. [105] [106] [107]

Resurgence in Riyadh

Dubois vs. Miller

In November 2023, Riyadh Season announced a blockbuster card which would take place on on December 23, 2023 with Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin as the headline. One of the undercard bouts announced was Dubois against American heavyweight Jarrell Miller. Miller was coming into this bout having defeated Lucas Browne in March 2023. [108]

Miller weighed in at 333 pounds, nearly 100 pounds more than Dubois, who came in at 239 pounds. [109] Dubois put on a show and likely the most entertaining victory on the card, stopping Miller in the tenth round. Dubois seemed anxious early on from the pressure which was being applied by Miller, but as the as the rounds went by, Dubois picked his shots and landed heavy punches on Miller. By the tenth round, Dubois was in control and landing power shots. Miller stood and took the punishment before the referee stopped the fight with only 10 seconds of the round left. [110] [111] Both boxers embraced at the end of the fight. Dubois said the confidence which was missing had come back after this fight. Speaking to DAZN after the fight, he said, "It really mattered tonight. I had to dig deep. I came through it and I showed my heart." [112] Dubois landed a career-high 208 punches on Miller, which was a 40% connect rate. Miller only connected 107 of his 379 punches thrown. [113]

Dubois vs. Hrgović

Following the success of Day of Reckoning card in December 2023, there was talks and a verbal agreement between Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren to put on a future card where they would each pick five boxers from their promotion to fight each other. In March the weight classes where confirmed. [114] On 15 April 2024 at a press conference, it was confirmed that Dubois would face IBF top ranked contender Filip Hrgović in Riyadh on 1 June, co-featuring on a card that was headlined by a bout between fellow heavyweights Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder. [115] [116] The IBF later sanctioned the fight for the vacant IBF 'interim' heavyweight championship. [117] Hrgović went into the bout with high confidence expecting a stoppage win, citing that Dubois had suffered two previous losses, where he had to rebuild his career. [118] Dubois tipped the scales at 245.8 pounds and Hrgović came in heavier at 247.4 pounds. [119]

In what was considered his biggest win to date, Dubois defeated Hrgović via eighth-round TKO, doctor's stoppage due to cuts. The win meant that Dubois won the vacant IBF interim title. Hrgović started the fight landed multiple right hands. There was more of the same in round 2, again with Hrgović landed the better shots. The tide turned at the end of the round when Dubois began landed his jab. Hrgović finished the round with a cut on his face. Dubois grew stronger and more confident as the rounds went on. In round 8, Dubois was in full control coming forward and landing at will until the referee stopped the action and brought in the ringside doctor to assess Hrgović , ultimately stopping the fight. [120] [121] Dubois landed a total of 116 of his 346 thrown with a connect rate 33.5% and Hrgović landed 96 of his 406 punches thrown, connect rate of 23.9%. The night ended with Queensberry promotions winning a clean slate of 5-0 against Matchroom Boxing. [122] [123]

IBF heavyweight champion

Dubois vs. Joshua

On 26 June 2024 Dubois was elevated to full IBF champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt. [124] It was announced that he would be making his first defence of the title against former two-time unified champion Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in London on 21 September. [125]

The fighters weighed in the day before their fight in front of Nelson's Column at Trafalgar Square, in London. Joshua weighed in at 252.5 lbs, almost 4 lbs heavier than Dubois' weight of 248.6 lbs. This was marginally heavier for Joshua compared to his fight against Francis Ngannou 6 months previously, while Dubois' weight was a new career-heaviest for him, 3 lbs heavier than his previous record. [126] [127]

Dubois, despite being the reigning IBF champion, walked to the ring first "very composed, almost seemingly too relaxed" whilst Joshua entered the ring second and "seemed tight during his ring walk", according to Joseph Santoliquito of The Ring. [128] Dubois retained his title by defeating Joshua by KO in the fifth round after a dominant performance. The result was considered a major upset, as Dubois was the pre-betting underdog going into fight. [129] Dubois immediately started boxing aggressively, and knocked Joshua to the canvas at the end of the first round with a huge overhand right to Joshua's chin. Joshua was able to beat the count, but seemed to be on unsteady legs as the bell signalled the end of the first round. Momentum seemed to be in Dubois' favour, and he knocked Joshua down for the second time in round 3 with a left to the chin: Joshua's gloves had touched the canvas, but the referee allowed Dubois to continue unloading punches which eventually did trigger an official knockdown. The fourth round saw Joshua hit the canvas twice more, although one of those occasions was ruled a slip. In the fifth round, Joshua seemed to find a way back into the fight when he landed a right hand which seemed to force Dubois back into a corner. However, Dubois caught Joshua on the chin with a counter right hand as Joshua was attempting to land a right uppercut of his own, which sent Joshua sprawling to the canvas again, and this time unable to beat the count. The fight was called off after 59 seconds of the fifth round, with Dubois retaining his IBF heavyweight title via fifth round knockout. [128] [130] After the fight, a victorious Dubois questioned the crowd who had been largely pro-AJ prior to the opening bell: "Are you not entertained?" [131] Over the five rounds, Dubois landed 79 of his 196 punches thrown with a connect rate of 40% and Joshua landed only 32 of his 117 punches thrown with a connect rate of 27%. [132]

Dubois vs. Parker

Following the win, it was said a rematch clause was attached to the contract and a return fight would take place around February 2025. Many pundits and fans like called for Joshua to retire. [133] [134] [135] [136] A couple weeks later, Joshua pulled out of the rematch. This was due to injury concerns and not being able have enough time to prepare. [137] Promoter Frank Warren revealed Dubois would be making a defence of his IBF belt in February regardless. [138] The IBF gave Dubois and his team the green light to make a voluntary defence, with an expiry of 22 April 2025. Hearn stated Joshua would wait for the outcome of the heavyweight rematch between Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury before making his next move. This opened up a list of potential opponents for Dubois, including the likes of Fabio Wardley, Zhilei Zhang, Joseph Parker, Agit Kabayel and Martin Bakole amongst the contenders. At the same time, Kabayel and Bakole had been ordered by the IBF for a final eliminator. [139] Parker was leading the way to capture the fight. [140] On December 2, 2024 Riyadh Season announced a blockbuster card to take place at the Kingdom Arena. In the co-feature bout, Dubois would make a second defence of his IBF heavyweight title against interim WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs). The card was scheduled to take place on 22 February 2025. [141] [142]
