Daniel Dubois flattened his 6 foot 8 opponent in 30 seconds in his third professional fight

Daniel Dubois has always had huge power in his gloves, which was apparent even in his first matches in boxing.

The IBF Heavyweight champion was a prodigy in the ring, racing out of the blocks at 19 years old and knocking out anyone who stood in his path.

His early career was defined by early knockouts, although he will struggle to replicate this form when he battles Oleksandr Usyk in their long-awaited rematch at Wembley Stadium.

This included a six-foot-eight English fighter who didn’t last long at all against “Dynamite”.

Daniel Dubois ended his 6-foot-8 opponent with a brutal three-punch combination

Dubois entered his third professional fight, probably not expecting an easy ride, when he took on the six-foot-eight David Howe in the Copper Box Arena in London.

The English fighter was six feet five himself, so he rarely had to fight up to a taller opponent, making this a learning experience for the Englishman.

However, he can’t have learned much from such a short and exciting fight, which was over before any real boxing could occur.

Dubois came in immediately with a flurry of left jabs to keep Howe at bay before going on for the kill. He got Howe against the ropes and unleashed a three-punch combination, ending in a massive right hand that knocked him to the ground, almost sending him through the ropes and onto the outside.

He struggled to make it to his feet, failing to answer the referee’s ten count. Dubois barely broke a sweat, spending just 40 seconds in the ring.

Dubois landed only a handful of punches en route to victory, which was par for the course of his early career in boxing.

Daniel Dubois spent just 5 minutes and 5 seconds in the ring in his first three fights

This 40-second destruction was typical for Dubois, especially in his first three fights.

He kicked off his career with a 35-second TKO win over Marcus Kelly, announcing himself as a bright-eyed 19-year-old with the punching power of a God.

His second fight lasted a little longer, as he finished Blaise Mendouo in the second round, inflicting him with three knockdowns in 48 seconds to end the Cameroonian’s night in disappointment.

Adding his first-round knockout against Howe paints an incredible picture of “Dynamite’s” power.

In his first three fights, Dubois was only in the ring for 5 minutes and five seconds – and that includes the time the referee counted his opponents out when they were knocked out.
