IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois shared his expectations for the upcoming match between Filip Hrgovic and Joseph Joyce, set for April 5 at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester.
I think Hrgovic can win it, he’s got a good style. He’s had the time to rebuild, so I’m looking forward to it. It’s interesting, is Joe going to come in and maul him? I’m looking forward to it to see what Hrgovic is like now. I heard an interview the other day where he said he’s ready and means business, so we’ll see.
