He previously held the World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight title (Regular version) from 2022 to 2023. At regional level, he has held multiple heavyweight championships, including the British and Commonwealth titles from 2019 to 2020. As an amateur, he was a five-time national junior titlist and British champion. He currently holds a 95% knockout-to-win percentage. [3]

Amateur career

His father took him to the boxing gym at the age of nine to stay out of trouble in South London. [4] He trains at the Peacock Gym in Canning Town, working under Tony and Martin Bowers. [5] [6] Dubois had around 75 amateur bouts. He won two English schoolboy titles, two junior ABAs plus the CYPs. Won the British Seniors. He spent a year and a half as part of the GB Elite set-up in Sheffield and boxed for England around a dozen times, competing at the European Youth championships twice and winning gold medals at multi-nations in Tammer (Finland) and Brandenburg (Germany). [4] He left the amateurs early with only a handful of senior amateur bouts. He was on the Great Britain Olympic team with the plan to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, however he opted to turn professional instead, [4] signing with boxing promoter Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions. [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, while 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

On 28 November 2020, Dubois made the first defence of his British and Commonwealth titles, alongside his WBC Silver and WBO International titles, in a highly anticipated domestic matchup against Joe Joyce at the Church House in London, with the vacant European title also on the line. 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. [21] Following the fight it was revealed that Dubois had suffered a broken left orbital bone and nerve damage around the eye. [22]

After a layoff of over six months, Dubois returned to the ring on 5 June 2021 to face Bogdan Dinu in Telford. 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. [23]

Dubois made his US debut on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on 29 August 2021. He faced Joe Cusumano, and prevailed via first-round technical knockout victory. In his post-fight interview, he expressed interest in challenging Trevor Bryan for his WBA (Regular) title. [24]

WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion

On 11 June 2022, Dubois defeated Trevor Bryan by knockout in the fourth round to become the WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion in front of approximately 500 spectators at Casino Miami in Florida on a card promoted by Don King. [25] [26]

Dubois made the first defence of his WBA (Regular) heavyweight title against Kevin Lerena on 3 December 2022, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in London, England on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora III. [27] Although he was knocked down in the first round 3 times, he prevailed and won by 3rd round technical knockout. [28]

Dubois vs. Usyk

On 26 August 2023, Dubois challenged unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in Wrocław, Poland for Usyk's WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring titles. [29] 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 controversially 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. [30] [31] 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. [32]

Debate subsequently followed regarding the fifth round low blow as many observers felt it should actually have been ruled a legal punch and thus potentially resulted in a KO victory for Dubois. In his post-fight interview, Dubois opined: "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. [33] [34] [35]

Post-title career

Dubois vs. Miller

Dubois fought Jarrell Miller on December 23, 2023, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, stopping him in the tenth round with only 10 seconds left. [36]

interim IBF heavyweight champion

Dubois vs. Hrgović

On 15 April 2024 it was confirmed that Dubois would face IBF top ranked contender Filip Hrgović in a title eliminator on the undercard of the undisputed light heavyweight bout between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. [37] In what was considered his biggest win to date, Dubois defeated Hrgović via eighth-round TKO, doctor's stoppage due to cuts. [38]

Personal life

Dubois' father is from Grenada. [39] His younger sister Caroline Dubois is also a boxer. She has represented Great Britain and in 2018 became the -60 kg European Junior, World Youth and Youth Olympic champion. [40]
