The fight began with some closely contested rounds in which both men had their moments.
Dubois appeared to hurt Joyce on occasion, but was often kept at bay by the more experienced man's jab.
This 'Juggernaut' jab ultimately caused severe injury to Dubois and forced his left eye to swell shut by the halfway stage.
In round ten, it all got too much for the 23-year-old who took a knee and sat out the ten count.

“He pinged it, I couldn’t see out of it. I was trying my best, it happens.”
Joyce added: “I was glad it was over!”
