Daniel Dubois

Daniel Dubois, who goes by the moniker “Dynamite,” is an active professional boxer from the United Kingdom. He is a former heavyweight world champion, having held the IBF title, and is widely recognized as one of the most powerful punchers in the sport today.

Player Profile and Personal Life

Daniel Dubois was born on September 6, 1997, in Greenwich, England, UK. The powerful English fighter is 196 cm tall and possesses a wingspan of 198 cm.

He has exclusively competed in the heavyweight ranks during his professional campaign. Dubois is known for his formidable, aggressive style, consistently seeking to end fights early with his knockout power from an orthodox position.

His family has a strong boxing background; his younger sister, Caroline Dubois, is also a highly decorated professional boxer. Through his father, Daniel holds both French and British citizenship.

Career

Dubois started his professional run in 2017 after a strong amateur background where he was a five-time national junior champion. He quickly built a fearsome reputation, capturing numerous regional championships, including the British and Commonwealth titles, by stopping nearly every opponent.

His ascent met a significant obstacle in a domestic rivalry with Joe Joyce in 2020, where Dubois suffered his first defeat after sustaining a serious eye injury. He rebounded from this setback, claiming the WBA (Regular) Heavyweight title before challenging for the unified championship against Oleksandr Usyk in 2023, a fight he lost via stoppage.

Displaying incredible resilience, Dubois mounted a successful comeback, culminating in his most significant achievement to date. In a massive all-British showdown in September 2024, he defeated former two-time champion Anthony Joshua by knockout to win the IBF Heavyweight World title. He later lost the belt in a July 2025 title defense against Usyk.
