Daniel Dubois v Richard Lartey - 13/4/19

Daniel Dubois will face Ghana’s Richard Lartey on April 13 at Wembley Arena, according to a leaked poster.

Ticket website AXS put up the details for the event before it was officially announced, with the heavyweight set to return to the ring after just a five week break.

Dubois knocked out Razvan Cojanu in two rounds on March 8 at the Royal Albert Hall and is now 10-0 (9 KOs).

The 21-year-old is being lined up for a battle of heavyweight prospects with Nathan Gorman towards the end of 2019, but must first get past Richard Lartey.

Lartey is 14-1 (11 KOs) and is unbeaten since losing his seventh fight against Ergun Mersin in 2014.

He was scheduled to fight Joe Joyce last June, but that bout didn’t come to fruition.

This Lartey fella could be a banana skin for Dubois, 6ft 5 tall , 11 Knockouts and 14-1 with the only loss due to Injury.
We've seen African fighters upset the odds loads of times before and i get the feeling Lartey might be a dangerous fighter.
Dying to see Dubois in a tear up so hope Lartey is what he claims to be.
Looking forward to this one 👌


Lartely Confident He Beats Daniel Dubois: He's No Joshua, I Am!
RICHARD LARTEY CLAIMS that his April 27 heavyweight opponent Daniel Dubois has been spoon fed a diet of mismatched opposition across his professional career to date.

The Ghanaian, 14-1, takes on the 10-0 Dubois at the SSE Arena, Wembley - live on BT Sport - and will attempt to halt the impressive rise of the 21-year-old Londoner, who has drawn comparisons in some quarters with the progression of Anthony Joshua at the same stage of the Olympic gold medallist's career.

Dubois has already collected four belts in his ten fights so far - the WBC Youth, Southern Area, English and WBO European - and is already ranked in the world top 15 by the WBO.

His career path has done little to impress Lartey, whose only defeat came via injury-enforced retirement. The Accra-based heavy insists the race towards world title contention will be won by him.

“Daniel’s opponents have been terrible," said the 6ft 5" executor of 11 KOs. "They have been feeding him baby food, now they are trying to feed him premium African steak – big mistake!”

“People are saying Daniel is the next Anthony Joshua but they are wrong. It is me! I am the next Anthony Joshua and I will be champion, not Daniel!”

Daniel Dubois (10-0) v Richard Lartey (14-1) tops the bill at the SSE Arena, Wembley on April 27 on a card that also includes the Commonwealth super middleweight title fight between Lerrone Richards (11-0) and Tommy Langford (21-3), as well as the Southern Area super middleweight title clash between Zak Chelli (6-0) and Jimmy Smith (7-1). WBO number one rated super-lightweight Jack Catterall (23-0) is in action, WBO European super flyweight champion Sunny Edwards (10-0) and WBO European super featherweight champion Archie Sharp (14-0) also feature.
