Boxing news: Frank Warren wants Deontay Wilder vs Daniel Dubois after Tyson Fury trilogy

Frank Warren has declared that he would be willing to match Daniel Dubois with Deontay Wilder after their respective next fights.

The highly touted 22-year-old prospect was due to face Joe Joyce in a notable test before the coronavirus pandemic put plans on hold.

Wilder meanwhile has activated his clause for a trilogy fight with Tyson Fury, though this is also not happening any time soon.

When boxing does resume, Dubois will be the oddsmakers' favourite to beat Joyce and Fury will be favourite to outclass Wilder once more.

Should those results pan out as bookies expect, Warren knows what bout he'd want to make afterwards.

The promoter told : “Tyson has shown how beatable Wilder is. Once their rematch is out the way, I’d have no problem matching Daniel with Deontay.

"Wilder is good, don’t get me wrong, but my man will be miles better in time.

“Daniel’s big and powerful and everyone knows he can punch, too. But he’s a good boxer.

"I’ve said before that he has a Larry Holmes-like jab and he works the body as well as any heavyweight on earth.

"I’ve been telling people how good Daniel is and once the world starts going back to normal, I’ll have no doubt he’ll show you.

“Daniel is the best heavyweight prospect on Planet Earth and he’ll have far too much for Deontay Wilder. I truly believe that.”
