Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce
The head coach says relationship with owner Marinakis is ‘not so good’
PRIOR to his fight against Joe Joyce at the York Hall in London last weekend, Daniel Dubois was being touted as a future heavyweight world champion by the boxing cognoscenti.
Current and former elite fighters and world champions, mainstream pundits, promoters — all were joined in ironclad consensus when it came to the raw ability and wondrous potential of the 23-year-old Londoner.
Now, after the fight, which Joyce won after Dubois took a knee in the 10th round to signal that he’d had enough, the very same boxing cognoscenti is cohered around a markedly different consensus on Daniel Dubois.
