It’s being reported that 25-year-old Daniel Dubois (18-1, 17 KO) will face former heavyweight belt holder Lucas ‘Big Daddy’ Browne, 43, in November.
Dubois will be defending his fringe WBA regular title.
For those already counting out Big Daddy, let’s not forget he’s fresh off a first-round knockout of Junior Fa (then 19-1) in June.
Sure, fans would rather see Dubois in the ring with a bigger name, but that’ll take a bit more time. For now, it looks like we’re getting Dubois vs Browne and this fight is interesting for one reason.
Browne’s punching power.
“Well, he’s had a couple of bad losses, but he just knocked out Junior Fa in a round. So that’s a good win coming off it,” said Shane McGuigan to Secondsout about WBA heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois defending against 43-year-old Lucas ‘Big Daddy’ Browne in November.
“It’s a tough one with the heavyweight division. You’ve got to try and get credible names and stuff, but everyone wants to wait out the big fights. I’ll let Mark Bowers and Frank organize the opponent, and we’ll just get ready for it.
