A biography for Daniel Duboishasn’t been written yet.
“No fighter will ever get under my skin. There's no chance of that happening. I've been in this game for far too long to fall for that.”
“Against any fighter out there I'd back myself 100 per cent. I don't care who you are, what title you've got. Once we're in the ring I'm just going to perform to the best of my ability, go out and give it all I've got.”
“Boxing is my calling and so I have no fear of getting hurt.”
“I definitely like the green belt. That's the best belt in my opinion.”
“I want to be 100 per cent ready when they call on me and throw me in with the top dogs of the division.”
“On a week night I'll be with the family. I've got a six-year-old brother, Solomon, he's gonna be a boxer for sure, a world champion in the making. We talk boxing and just bounce off each other's energy.”
“By the time 2020 comes around I expect to be world heavyweight champion.”
“I don't have an iPhone or anything. There's no TV. It's so easy to become distracted.”
“All these other heavyweights are great challenges for me. But they have had their time - and I need to be 100 per cent ready for these fighters - but I don't fear any of them.”
“Every challenge brings something different and I get better each time I fight.”
“Life as a pro is definitely an individual sport. Thankfully that's how I've always been so I like it that way.”
“I got time, I'm only 21, I've got room to learn and grow as a fighter.”
“So much of boxing is to do with your mental state. Evander Holyfield talks about spirit. I definitely have that spirit and feel like I've got something special inside me. It's about me bringing it out, controlling it and using it to become world champion.”
“There are no friends in boxing, I've said that from day one.”
“You'll get shown up in the ring if you're not 100 per cent at all times.”
“I won't train on the day of the fight but I'll stretch, stay loose, and then I'll meditate.”
“I did javelin, swimming, long distance running. But the reason I did these other sports was because of boxing. I didn't want to get sidetracked.”
“Honestly, I've not looked too deeply into my opponent, he's just another fighter. From my side, I've just got to win and win in style.”
“I believe I am world class and it is only a matter of time before I am up there with the big names. I am a man on a mission and not going to be stopped.”
“It's only my first year in the pros but I feel like I've been here a while now, I feel like a veteran already.”
