I think Dubois has to win by stoppage if he's going to beat Joyce and with DDD's power it's always possible.

I don't like the fact Joyce will have been out of the ring 9 months by April 2020 because Joe has benefited hugely from being active.

That said, Joyce represents a big step up for DDD and if The Juggernaut can withstand the early bombs I take Joe to bludgeon Dubois to defeat.

Joyce fought in July against Jennings. But DDD fought twice since then.

True, but he fought that horribly overmatched Japanese lad and Ebeneezer Scrooge. I don't know what he would have learned from either fight.

In fairness, Dubois is also a step up for Joyce

"Daniel Dubois vs Joe Joyce is coming along nicely", allegedly confirms

In allegedly's newest column, he provided an update on the biggest domestic fight of 2020 between British heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois (14-0, 13KOs) and WBA Gold champion Joe Joyce (10-0, 9KOs).

The Hall of Fame promoter announced, "The biggest one [fight] on the domestic front is coming along nicely and hopefully we will be in a position to share some good news in the not too distant future.

"Daniel Dubois v Joe Joyce is an absolute banger of a fight between two heavyweights of enormous potential and pedigree. It is the biggest fight to be made for either of them so it needs to happen.

"I hear the argument over where would be left for Joe to go should he be defeated by a much younger man in Daniel. It is nonsense to say it would be fatal for his career.

"Joe is a top-drawer operator, an elite amateur who has taken the plunge right from the beginning in the professional game. It is never a just a loss that affects a fighter’s prospects, it is how you lose and who against.

"There would be no shame in losing to Daniel, or vice-versa. If you make a big fight that the public want to see then somebody has got to lose on the majority of occasions.

"In any case, certainly in the heavyweight division, one win and you are right back in the thick of it. You put it down to experience and the proof of the pudding is someone like Dereck Chisora, who has had multiple opportunities to come again.

"What is for sure is there would be no turning back for either Daniel or Joe once this fight is in place. It will be big, meaningful fights all the way to the top for our big fellas."

'Dynamite' Dubois has collected nine heavyweight titles so far in his career in this exact order: WBC Youth; Southern Area; English; WBO European; WBO Global; British; WBO International; Commonwealth; WBC Silver.

'Juggernaught' Joyce has so far claimed the Commonwealth heavyweight title in just his third professional fight and the WBA Continental and Gold straps.

Joyce has already defeated a former world champion when he obliterated Bermane Stiverne in six rounds in 2019.

He’ll be blundering onto a lot of power shots for sure.

Also depends on how sturdy Dubois is.
