Frank Warren has compared Daniel Dubois to all-time great Larry Holmes.
The promoter admits he has burdened Dubois by describing him as “The Best young heavyweight in the world.”
Holmes held a world heavyweight title from 1978 to 1985 making 20 world title defences.
Warren said: “
Daniel is a special young man. As my boxing mentor, the late Ernie Fossey said, ‘If you can’t jab, you can’t fight.’
“Good fighters have great jabs and Daniel has a great job. It is a big comparison to make at this stage of his career, but Daniel has that Larry Holmes jab. I love seeing fighters who can jab.”
