Daniel Dubois v Trevor Bryan ordered by WBA

[Master]

TITLE TILT Daniel Dubois set to fight for first world title against US star Trevor Bryan in Spring after first professional defeat

DANIEL DUBOIS is close to landing a ‘world title’ shot this spring just two bouts after his first defeat.

Oleksandr Usyk is the bonafide WBA heavyweight super champion, rematching Anthony Joshua for that and the IBF and WBO versions later this year.

But the unregulated belt brand squeezes extra sanctioning fees out of fighters but also anointing a ‘regular’ champion.

American Trevor Bryan currently holds the B-rated belt but his overdue fight with Germany’s Manuel Charr has just collapsed for the umpteenth time.

And that means 24-year-old ace Dubois, the No1 contender who has rebuilt from his November 2020 loss to Joe Joyce with two KO wins, is next in line for a crack at the title.

Bryan is promoted by notorious American fight flogger Don King, so negotiations could still get very complicated.

But hopefully, Dynamite Dan will be fighting for the strap in London or New York before pushing on for a genuine world title once Usyk, Joshua, Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte settle their business at the top of the money tree.

Dubois' career looked to be on the ropes following his tenth-round TKO defeat to Joyce.

But back-to-back KO wins over Bogdan Dinu and Joe Cusumano have seen Greenwich giant resurrect his world title aspirations.

Dubois called out Bryan after his first-round destruction of Cusumano last August, saying: "Look at me now, I'm back and I'm ready to go.

"Whoever is next. Maybe Trevor Bryan. He's got a title I want. But whoever. Come one, come all."

And promoter Frank Warren recently doubled down on Dubois' eagerness to face the WBA regular champ.

He said: “Daniel will be right back in business on one of our first shows of 2022.

“He has rebuilt this year in a spectacular fashion and is now right in the running for a world title shot in the New Year.

“The WBA is the obvious path for him to go down as he has been installed in the No.1 spot by virtue of him winning the Interim title and a fight against the champion Bryan clearly appeals to us.

“Success against Bryan would put Daniel in position for a shot at the Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua rematch winner later in 2022.

“So there are some huge fights and nights in the pipeline for Daniel and 2022 will be a defining year for a young man I have always believed is destined for the top.”

If Dubois loses he needs to retire . Bryan is ok but in a way feels like there's no confidence around Dubois. Say what you want about Don King he clings onto worthless inactive trinkets like the Crypt keeper.

Daniel Dubois takes the next step in his promising career this weekend when he clashes with Trevor Bryan in Miami.

Dubois will look to take the WBA ‘regular’ heavyweight title from Bryan, who also puts his unbeaten record on the line here.

Briton Dubois has amassed a professional record of 17-1, achieving 16 of those victories via knockout. Since suffering the first – and so far only – loss of his pro career when he faced Joe Joyce in 2020, the 24-year-old has stopped Bogdan Dinu in the second round and Joe Cusumano in the first.

American Bryan, meanwhile, is 22-0 with 15 knockouts to his name. The 32-year-old last competed in January, edging a split decision against Jonathan Guidry, while Dubois’ most recent outing came last August.

Dubois vs Bryan will take place on Saturday 11 June, with the first fight starting at approximately 7pm BST.

Ring walks for the main event are expected to take place at around 11pm BST, though that is yet to be officially confirmed.

The event will air live on BT Sport 1 in the UK.

Not taking a piss but I can imagine an ugly scenario where Bryan eeks this one . Well maybe give him a 10 percent chance . But I hope and excpect Dubois to hurt him early maybe even with his jab and not letting him off the hook to survive. If he does though, the giant sack of pudding that is Bryan can spoil has ok pop and boil the tempo down. Oh and Don King is probably handing out little tiny flags and flasks of whiskey right now .

At 90 years of age, Don King is still promoting boxing.

The highly controversial figure first came to prominence in the sport back in 1974, with the legendary ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman being his first major event.

48 years on, King’s endured his fair share of scandals having been sued by several boxers – most famously Mike Tyson – with many of them alleging that he defrauded them.

Remarkably though, at 90, he is still involved in the sport and set to stage a show this weekend.

King now promotes American heavyweight Trevor Bryan, who holds the lesser WBA ‘regular’ belt in the division.

Oleksandr Usyk is the true WBA heavyweight champion, but the ‘regular’ belt could become a pathway to a shot at the Ukrainian in future.

On Saturday night, Bryan is set to defend it against Britain’s Daniel Dubois.

Unexpectedly, King outbid Dubois’ promoter Frank Warren and won the rights to stage the fight.

It is set to take place in Miami, Florida with Dubois and his team having flown out to the US.

On Wednesday King hosted a press conference to preview the fight, which turned out to be one of the most bizarre boxing pressers of all time.

The 90-year-old initially struggled to get out of his seat, and then stood for an hour straight during which he spoke passionately about an eclectic series of topics.

King’s own speeches amounted to about 30 minutes in total.

He covered everything from the war in Ukraine, a potentially devastating nuclear World War III, the Queen of England’s platinum jubilee, US school shootings and, of course, a little about Dubois and Bryan.

Dubois is the heavy favourite to beat Bryan and deliver a result that would leave King without any remaining boxers of note on Saturday night.

If this happens, then time will tell if he can bounce back once again.
