Triple D, they nickname Daniel Dubois, a powerful heavyweight from Greenwich, London, who made his ring debut in 2017 in explosive manner: he won in just 35 seconds.
He had a string of 15 consecutive wins until he lost his undefeated streak in a hard way to fellow countryman Joe Joyce, an Olympic runner-up in Rio 2016. That defeat, in November 2020, deprived him of winning the European heavyweight title.
After that loss, he bounced back and won three consecutive encounters, including the last one in Miami, where he won the WBA regular heavyweight title by KOing American Trevor Bryan in four rounds.
Kevin Lerena
- Odds: +800
- Fights: 29
- Victories: 28
- Victories by KO: 14
- Defeats: 1
- Draws: 0
Kevin Lerena is left handed, born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the owner of a very good career as a cruiserweight. Aged 30, he started fighting professionally in 2011, and was undefeated in 11 fights, until Johnny Muller defeated him on points and took away his unbeaten status in 2014. He carried out most of his combats in his country, with some exceptions in which he traveled to Europe. He never fought in the United States.
He was cruiserweight champion of the International Boxing Organization (IBO), a lower-ranking entity, between 2017 and 2020. At the end of that year he moved up to heavyweight, where he has already won twice this year.
JefeBet Prediction
Dubois has a heavy hand and is younger than Lerena, who also does not have a high percentage of fights finished by KO. That is why at JefeBet we see the Englishman as the winner, a winner who will define the fight in the last rounds.
Prediction: Daniel Dubois wins by KOT.
