DANIEL DUBOIS is ready to take revenge on Dillian Whyte. Now he has a world championship to show off in front of the Body Snatcher.
Whyte, 34 accused the 24-year-old of "quitting" when he took a knee to protect his eye socket after his 2020 loss to Joe Joyce.

After Dubois snatched the WBA regular title from Trevor Bryan, a battered Trevor Bryan, on Saturday night, Shane McGuigan, Shane McGuigan's trainer, chose Whyte, PPV viewers' favorite, as his best commercial target.
Dynamite Dan, however, is still afflicted by the insults Whyte and other rivals made at him. He insists that it would be more than business.
When asked if he would include insulting opponents on his hit list, he replied "Yeah, I definitely will,"
"I'll be looking at the list and thinking, 'Right, that one said that about you.
"Dillian said that so he's getting it. "I'll be the bad guy once again."
Dubois, outside the ring is probably the most calm prize fighter in the country. His post-fight plans portray a man who can be trusted to his family and not be distracted by the wild party scene at Miami Beach.
He said, "I'm flying back Sunday. I just want my brothers Prince and Solomon to see me."
"I have been away for some time so it will be wonderful to get back with my family.

"Solomon would've stayed up until the wee hours to see it. I'm sure he is a huge boxing fan, and this will have motivated him.
This was Dubois’ second consecutive win in the USA and he is eager for a return to the USA. The regular title often leads to a chance at the super title that Oleksandr Usyk won against Anthony Joshua last September.
He said, "Yeah, I definitely want to see my homecoming." People like Joe Joyce will see it all coming back to them again.
"Dillian must come back through me now. All of those guys who want a world title need to go through me.
"It's all very interesting but I want to go home and relax right now - I'm tired."
McGuigan is racing to his Leyton gym in order to get Dubois’s sister Caroline ready to fight her third pro bout on July 3. He explained why Whyte was chosen ahead of all others.
"Dillian has lost only to elite guys in AJ Fury, Povetkin and Povetkin. He got rematch revenge. I didn't say his name outright out of disrespect. Dillian is an excellent fighter.
It would be a big step up for Dan, but it would also be great. I believe it would sell out any arena it was taken to. Because a lot people won't believe he is ready, it would generate a lot more interest.
"We must target a credible name, and ideally someone who has sold out PPV channels. Dillian has done that consistently.

There are many good heavyweights, but not all are commercially successful. We want to fight the best, but also the biggest, and that's not about trying to win over anyone. It's all about the business. We must pursue people who are going to make a buzz.
"We want people to be boxed who are very relevant, and Dillian Whyte does that."
