A biography for Daniel Duboishasn’t been written yet.
“Not a lot of guys wanted to get in the ring with me.”
“I've got confidence in myself. I know what I can do.”
“I can match any of the fastest heavyweights out there and I am ready for a fight.”
“It's pretty much the same routine every day. Come in Monday, bags and running. I like to get a run up in the morning with my brother and my sister and when I come in I'll do another one.”
“Every fight is a learning fight, there is a lot to improve on.”
“I try and put in a weights section one day a week. I'd go to a different gym and work with a different coach: squatting, bench press, dead lifts. Just basic work. Pull-ups. Ground work. A lot of sit-ups and a lot of push-ups.”
“When I'm in a ring, I'm there to hurt you. That's the objective in a fight. Your wellbeing is not my concern.”
“Boxing is full of chances and it's easy throwing a shot, it's about landing it at the precise time.”
“But I always had in built strength. I used to do like push ups for three hours. It's building up that core fitness and stamina.”
“I've got to take measured steps and avoid the pitfalls. Life in general has pitfalls, but being a boxer there's even more.”
“I just want to be a prizefighter.”
“I've got world championship potential; I'm out there to be the best fighter I can be.”
“It's good when you get to travel and see different places. I went with Alexander Povetkin, who fought Anthony Joshua, to Russia and stayed in Moscow for a bit.”
“It's great to win the British title. I wanted to control the fight behind my jab and then land the right hand.”
“I feel ready to fight all of them now, the very best, including Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, but I know my dad, my trainer Martin Bowers, and my promoter Frank Warren don't want to rush me through the ranks.”
“People have just said about me so far that I'm just a big puncher, but I showed that I can command a fight behind my jab, which is the foundation of all good boxing.”
“Breakfast is just a bit of porridge, nothing that will upset the stomach.”
“I pretty much know when people are talking rubbish and when they're serious. It's common in boxing, rubbish.”
“I'm not a trash talker, I like to do all my talking with my fists in the ring.”
“I wanted to defend my British Title but no one would step up to fight me.”
