НЬЮ-ЙОРК(Август 6, 2021) – British heavyweight sensationДаниэль «Динамит» Дюбуаbeamed with excitement during an open training session for his showdown against veteran Джусеппе Анджело Кусумано, which will be featuredon the undercard of the Джейк Пол vs. Тайрон Вудли SHOWTIME PPV fight card on Sunday, Август 29 (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT) от Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse в Кливленде, Огайо.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to put on an explosive performance in front of the U.S. audience and show them who the future heavyweight champion of the world is going to be,- сказал Дюбуа.
Дюбуа (16-1, 15 КО) is preparing for his U.S. debut under the tutelage of trainer Shane McGuigan out of McGuigan’s Gym in London. С момента превращения в профессионала 2017, the London-born star has only fought in the United Kingdom but has long desired fighting across the pond.
“This really is a fight with two purposes,” continued Dubois. “It is not just the fight, it is about the crowd and I have always dreamt of fighting in America, but this will be a different sort of crowd with a different atmosphere as well. I am going to take it in and experience all they have got out there.
“Конечно, it will be all new to me, with a new young crowd and a new environment. I want to just go out there and perform well. Fighting on SHOWTIME will be special too, the big channel in the U.S., putting on the big shows.”
The 23-year-old has a near-perfect knockout percentage with 15 knockouts in his short pro career. His lone decision was a dominating performance over former world title challenger Kevin Johnson in 2018. Dubois has dispatched four undefeated fighters as he has risen the ranks, including an impressive first-round knockout against then unbeaten Ebenezer Tetteh in September 2019. His last three knockout victories have all come in the second round against difficult challengers Kyotaro Fujimoto, Ricardo Snijders and Bogdan Dinu. Dubois’ knockout performance against Dinu in June remains one of the most sensational finishes in the heavyweight division in 2021.
“It will be important for me to be explosive as I usually am, but I am not going to overthink it,” added Dubois. “It is just part of what I do and to be the best me, I go in there and knock them out. That has always been my approach.”
The WBA No. 1 в рейтинге супертяжеловес, Dubois will take the next step toward a world title shot as he takes on the veteran challenger Cusumano, who hails from Danville, Виргиния. Cusumano is coming off a sixth-round knockout win over Gregory Corbin in November 2020.
“This represents a wonderful opportunity for Daniel to increase his recognition in the United States,” said International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. “I believe Daniel is the best young heavyweight in world boxing and another knockout for Daniel moves him closer to a huge fight for the WBA world title held by Trevor Bryan. This is a tremendous opportunity and I’m delighted to deliver it to him so early in his career.”
Dubois will continue to train in London alongside undefeated WBO cruiserweight world champion Lawrence Okolie, who has served as a chief sparring partner during preparations for Cusumano. The heavyweight contender will wrap up training in two weeks before departing for Cleveland to defend his WBA Interim title.
“I am ready now to push on and build on the WBA Interim title I won in my last fight,- сказал Дюбуа. «Я очень рад отправиться в турне и надеюсь завоевать расположение американской публики.. I am told the American public loves heavyweight boxing, так что пришло время познакомить их с Даниэлем Дюбуа.
“I will make sure it is a name they won’t forget in a hurry,” concluded the six-foot, five-inch contender.
