Daniel Dubois says he made fellow champion ‘look for a way out’: “I don’t get the credit I deserve”

British heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois has claimed he does not receive enough credit for his June 2024 victory over Filip Hrgovic. Dubois defeated Hrgovic via an eleventh-round stoppage due to cuts. Following Hrgovic's recent upset victory against Moses Itauma to capture the IBF title, Dubois stated that he broke Hrgovic down and made him look for a way out during their bout.

Dubois is currently preparing for an October 17 rematch against Fabio Wardley, whom he defeated in May to become a two-time champion. Meanwhile, Hrgovic is expected to make his first IBF title defense against mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez. If both Dubois and Hrgovic win their upcoming bouts, a unification fight could occur in 2027.
