Daniel Dubois defeats DL Jones

By Daily Sports on February 26, 2018

Undefeated heavyweight prospect Daniel Dubois (7-0, 7 KOs) picked up his 7th consecutive knockout in stopping previously unbeaten 36-year-old journeyman DL Jones (8-1-1) in the 3rd round last Saturday night at York Hall, Bethnal Green in London, UK.

Dubois, 20, knocked the 6’5” Jones down with a right hand in the 3rd round. Referee Robert Williams then stopped the fight. The time of the stoppage was at 2:23 of round 3.

This wasn’t one of the better looking performances from the 6’5”, 238 pound Dubois. Jones was smothering Dubois early on by getting in close, clinching, wrestling and not giving him room to get leverage on his shots. Dubois responded initially by shoving, pulling down on the back of Jones’ head, and trying to back away to get space to deliver his power shots.

“I want to be the best,” Dubois said after the fight. “I have to keep working hard on improvements. He was awkward. He was tough. He was game and he brought a good challenge to me. I had to calm down, relax and stick to my boxing a bit. In the first round and a couple of rounds, I was a bit wild, but I maintained my composure and got the job done. Once there’s an opening and I have a chance, I go for it straightaway. Definitely, I’ll take on all challenges. When I’m fully prepared, I’ll take on all challenges and I’ll be confident of overcoming all of them,” Dubois said.
