Fights are usually announced by promoters, but this time the next fight Daniel Dubois (18-1, 17 KOs) was announced by his coach Shane McGuigan. The holder of the "regular" WBA heavyweight championship belt will return to the ring one weekend in November. This will be his first defense of the belt he took from Trevor Bryan (KO 4) in the middle of June.
The role of the applicant will be played by the former holder of this title, who is experiencing a second youth. Lucas Brown (31-3, 27 KOs).
“We thought we were close to a fight with Dillian Whyte, but maybe he wants to wait for Joshua. Therefore, we are meeting with Lucas Brown. We looked at the WBA rating, he was ninth, he has a famous name, and he has a good winning streak, ”McGuigan commented on the choice of Brown as an opponent of his ward.
Previously, Brown was often mentioned as a possible opponent for Jarrell Miller. The Aussie returned to the game thanks to an early victory in June in the first round over the record favorite Junior Fa.
