Dubois wants to heal his knee and meet White

Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) went through a difficult moment, but emerged victorious from the duel with Kevin Lerena (28-2, 14 KOs), thus defending the WBA regular heavyweight championship belt.

“Lerena dealt me ​​a blow that I didn’t see. And then my knee gave out. However, I have the soul of a warrior, I listened to my angle and eventually returned to my boxing. I went into this fight unfocused, but this knockdown woke me up. I still have a few lessons to learn,” Dubois admitted.

“The doctor needs to examine my knee. If I am completely healthy, I definitely need to be more active and perform more often, ”added Dubois.

“He must have injured the ligaments in his knee. When he wanted to strike, his knee gave way, he could not punch it with a turn, so there was no power in these blows either. Careful study will show what actually happened. In such situations, athletes either stay afloat or drown. However, Daniel can swim and does not drown. We will x-ray the knee, but once Daniel is ready, we need a big name and a fight of the evening. One option could be Dillian Whyte,” added Shane McGuigan, Dubois’ trainer.
