Get ready for an intense boxing showdown as Frank Sanchez issues a bold challenge to Daniel Dubois!
In a highly anticipated development, Sanchez and Dubois are set to battle it out in an IBF final eliminator, with the winner earning a shot at the prestigious IBF heavyweight title currently held by the undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk.
Dubois, known for his powerful punches, made a dramatic impact last September by knocking out Anthony Joshua at Wembley, solidifying his reputation as a formidable force in the ring. However, Sanchez isn't one to back down, confident in his own knockout abilities.
"Daniel Dubois is an exceptional fighter, but I must defeat him to realize my dream of becoming the first Cuban heavyweight champion in history," Sanchez declared, boasting an impressive record of 18 stoppages in his 25 wins.
But here's where it gets controversial... Sanchez's path to this fight wasn't without challenges. Several top contenders, including Filip Hrgovic, Efe Ajagba, Moses Itauma, and Richard Torrez Jr., initially declined the IBF final eliminator against Sanchez. It was only after Dubois stepped up that the fight became a reality, with a deadline of October 22 to finalize the terms.
Sanchez, guided by co-manager Mike Borao, is now eagerly preparing for his fight camp with the renowned trainer Eddy Reynoso, who has worked with the legendary Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Sanchez expressed his eagerness to face Dubois, stating, "I look forward to putting on an incredible show for the fans, both in Cuba and the UK. Our styles will create an exciting and explosive fight, and I can't wait for everyone to witness it!"
As for the location, Sanchez is open to various options, suggesting the UK, Saudi Arabia, or the USA, as long as the fight gets the green light.
So, who will emerge victorious in this explosive encounter? Will Sanchez's dream of becoming Cuba's first heavyweight champion come true, or will Dubois continue his dominant streak?
