Daniel Dubois is a British professional boxer born on September 6, 1997, in Greenwich, London. He competes in the heavyweight division and is known for his knockout power and aggressive fighting style. Dubois began boxing at a young age, initially training at the Peacock Gym in London. He had a successful amateur career, winning several national titles and representing England internationally, though he decided to turn professional in 2017 rather than pursuing an Olympic career.

Dubois made his professional debut in April 2017 at the age of 19, defeating Marcus Kelly with a first-round knockout. Over the next few years, he quickly gained attention for his strength and ability to stop opponents early in fights. By 2019, Dubois had captured several regional heavyweight titles, including the British, Commonwealth, WBO European, and WBC Silver titles, establishing himself as one of the top rising stars in British boxing.

One of his most notable early victories came in July 2019 when Dubois faced Nathan Gorman for the vacant British heavyweight title. Dubois won the fight by knockout in the fifth round, further boosting his reputation as a powerful puncher. He successfully defended the British title and continued to build his record with knockout victories over opponents such as Ebenezer Tetteh, Kyotaro Fujimoto, and Ricardo Snijders.

In November 2020, Dubois suffered the first loss of his professional career when he fought fellow British boxer Joe Joyce for the vacant European heavyweight title. The fight was highly anticipated, and Joyce won by a 10th-round knockout after Dubois sustained a severe eye injury. Following the fight, it was revealed that Dubois had suffered a fractured orbital bone, which required surgery. Despite the setback, Dubois made a successful comeback in June 2021 with a second-round knockout victory over Bogdan Dinu, capturing the WBA interim heavyweight title.

Dubois' style is characterized by his powerful right hand and ability to pressure his opponents. As of 2023, Dubois remains a highly regarded contender in the heavyweight division and continues to pursue opportunities for world titles. His record includes several notable knockouts, and he is seen as one of the leading figures in the next generation of British heavyweights.
