Daniel Dubois has challenged Anthony Joshua to a blockbuster heavyweight bill after the 26-year-old Londoner secured a famous win over Croatian fighter Filip Hrgovic
Daniel Dubois has revealed he hopes to take on Anthony Joshua in an all-British heavyweight bout after his stunning stoppage victory over Filip Hrgovic.
He took that chance with both hands and landed some punishing blows to Hrgovic who was stopped by referee John Latham as he walked into the neutral corner and called the doctor. After a brief exam, the fight was called off and Dubois was crowned IBF interim world heavyweight title champion. "I have full respect for the guy, to come through that was a learning experience," he added. "I’m glad I got the belt and on to the next. I was a bit cold to start off with, I had the corner advice, Frank Warren and my dad.
Promoter Frank Warren said that fight could be at Wembley, London in September. The defeat was a first professional loss for Croatia's Hrgovic, while Dubois now has 21 victories and two losses to his name, including one defeat against undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Uysk.
