I wanted to control the fight behind my jab and then land the right hand,"

He said: “I was very confident in my power, “I felt him fading. I just need to keep working and every fight is a learning fight for me. “There’s definitely still a lot to work on, but I was pleased tonight. That’s up to Frank Warren and my team (who he fights next). Everyone sitting down at the table and figuring out the next step. “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” Another journalist described him as "...one of the brightest prospects in the sport at the moment’’.

Daniel said: "Every fight is a learning fight, there is a lot to improve on. It's great to win the British title. I wanted to control the fight behind my jab and then land the right hand," he said. " There's still a lot to work on, and I'm grateful for everything. Who I fight next is up to my team, promoter Frank Warren, my dad...”
Warren, Daniel’s promoter, saw the potential in the young boxer. He said: "Daniel was very composed in the fight, and we saw Nathan has no quit in him. These are the two youngest fighters to fight for the British title. The key for me in this fight was the jab. And Daniel showed that. It was superb. I've said it all along, I think Daniel is the future of heavyweight boxing."
For his age, the power of Dubois is beyond the sky. Yet he has a lot to achieve! Who knows the young fighter will be an inspiration for others?
