The fight of Daniel Dubois (15-0, 14 KOs) and Joe Joyce (11-0, 10 KOs) was postponed for the fifth time. British gentlemen were required to cross gloves on April 11, then July 11, the next supposed date was September and the last date was October 24. Frank Warren, promoter of both boxers, does not hide that the fight is worth so much that he wants to get at least a partial profit from the tickets. And this makes the date dependent on the possibility of admission to the audience.

Now undefeated gladiators can meet on November 14 or 21 in London. Interestingly, Eddie Hearn named the same two dates a few dozen hours ago when he was asked about the date of Dillian Whyte's (27-2, 18 KOs) rematch with Alexander Povetkin (36-2-1, 25 KOs). It looks like Hearn and Warren will "share" dates and run the competition not one day, but week after week.

The winner of this bout will line up to fight for the world heavyweight title in 2021.
