Daniel Dubois put a trash-talker in his place with a ruthless performance.
On July 19, ‘Triple D’ will battle it out with Oleksandr Usyk inside Wembley Stadium in London, UK.
While many expect the two-weight world champion to come out on top, it would be foolish to write the Englishman off. After all, Dubois has secured an array of spectacular knockouts.
One of which came against a boxer who’d been relentlessly mocking him in the build-up to their contest.

Daniel Dubois brutally stopped Tom Little
On June 23, 2018, Daniel Dubois went to war with Tom Little for the vacant English heavyweight title at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
While his opponent’s record of 10-5 didn’t look great on paper, the charismatic fighter had recently defeated prospect, Josh Sandland, making him an interesting test for the talented boxer.
Prior to the fight, Little had thrown verbal shots in his opponent’s direction at every given opportunity.
However, under the lights, it didn’t matter, with Dubois producing a masterful performance.
The gifted boxer battered his rival in the opening two rounds, with Little landing nothing of real quality other than a big right hand.
In the fourth, Dubois dropped his countryman with a sickening body shot.
Showcasing heart in abundance, Little beat the count, but in the fifth, he was the victim of a barrage of shots that prompted the referee to jump in.

Little isn’t the only fighter who’s tasted Dubois’ power over the years.
In ‘The Fight Before Christmas’, the powerhouse went to war with an accomplished combat sports athlete.
But despite this, it was an easy victory for the Brit.
