Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua finally meet on December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium after years of missed chances. For WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, that is a lesson for his own possible clash with Moses Itauma, Sky Sports reports: "I want to fight him sooner," Dubois said.
Itauma recently lost to Filip Hrgovic, but Dubois believes he can return to world title contention: "Of course he can. He had the whole industry behind him. They won't let him give up I don't think."
Speaking about himself, Dubois, who recently stopped Fabio Wardley in the second round, said: "I don't think I've even touched the surface yet really." He was "just starting to unload properly now". Asked whether he is boxing's hardest puncher, he replied: "I am."
