The two undefeated fighters are both predicting a knockout in their summer showdown Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman will meet for the vacant British heavyweight title at London’s O2 Arena on July 13. The two undefeated fighters have a chance to make a real statement in the division and the winner could propel themselves onto the world stage. Promoter Frank Warren has also included Joe Joyce, who fights Alexander Ustinov on May 18, on the undercard. A clash between himself and Dubois, 21, is on hold for the time being with the latter focusing on winning the belt relinquished by Hughie Fury earlier this year. 2 Daniel Dubois will face Nathan Gorman at the O2 “As I have always said, whoever is put in front of me I have to go through them and that is what I have done so far,” Dubois, who has won all 11 of his fights with 10 by KO, confidently said. “As I proved in my last fight, I want to bring excitement to the heavyweight division for the fans and I promise it will be another explosive night on July 13. “I am very confident that I can knock anyone in the world out right now.

Massive fight announcement Daniel Dubois ️ Nathan Gorman Two rival heavyweights put their unbeaten records on the line in a 50/50 fight for the British title #DuboisGorman | July 13th | BT Sport HD pic.twitter.com/ABRVUyAseD — Boxing on BT Sport (@BTSportBoxing) May 9, 2019 Dubois (11-0, 10 KO) had been linked to a fight with Joe Joyce on that date, “The Juggernaut” has stepped aside for now, resulting in the matchup first ordered back in November. Joyce (8-0, 8 KO) will face TBA on the undercard. Dubois and Gorman (16-0, 11 KO) have both faced Razvan Cojanu and Kevin Johnson recently; Gorman went the distance with both men, while Dubois knocked out Cojanu in two. Dubois was last seen stopping Richard Lartey two weekends ago. Honestly, I prefer this to the Joyce matchup. Both Dubois and Gorman are young enough to learn and rebound from a loss, and I don’t imagine either of their profiles taking a major hit regardless of the outcome. The 33-year-old Joyce is on the clock, so to speak, and already has an inroad to a world title opportunity with his otherwise-worthless WBA “Gold” belt.<doc-sep>Unbeaten heavyweights Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman will put their perfect records on the line when they fight for the British heavyweight title at the O2 Arena, London on July 13. Dubois (11-0, 10 KOs), 21, and Gorman (16-0, 11 KOs), 22, are unbeaten in the professional ranks and the winner could move closer to a shot at one of the division's elite. Dubois is coming off victories over Richard Lartey and Razvan Cojanu while Gorman defeated Kevin Johnson earlier this year. The London fighter was tipped to meet former Olympic silver medalist Joe Joyce, who fights next on May 18 and could face the winner of the July bout in another big British clash at the end of the year. "I am very confident that I can knock anyone in the world out right now," Dubois said. "I would have fought Joe Joyce and now I will fight Gorman. I am confident in my own ability that I can deal with everyone out there and I've got what it takes to beat them. "I believe I am way ahead and better than Gorman and on fight night I will prove it." Gorman added: "I'm over the moon we've got the fight on. Fair play to Daniel, I didn't think he would have accepted it, but he is obviously as keen as I am to fight. There should be plenty of excitement and I'm sure the fans will love it. "I can't see it going 12 rounds and the plan is to go in there and stop him. The winner out of me and Daniel will proceed onto world honours, I'd imagine. The British title will propel you to the world stage." The fight is promoted by Frank Warren and Queensbury Promotions and the card will also feature Joyce, a silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics. "This is a mouth-watering big punching confrontation between two unbeaten young gladiators who have total self-belief in their respective talent," Warren said.<doc-sep>
