British Boxers Are on the Rise

British heavyweights have grabbed most of the worldwide headlines in recent times – although they were of the wrong kind when Anthony Joshua lost his WBA, IBF and WBO world titles in a shock defeat by unfancied Andy Ruiz junior in New York on June 1st.

However, the flamboyant former world champion Tyson Fury remains a major attraction with a second fight against American WBC world champion Deontay Wilder taking shape.

Joshua has a re-match against Ruiz Jr. this winter. London’s Dilyan Whyte is also rated as major world title contender with his next date against Oscar Rivas looming in London on July 20th.

Gorman is a cousin of Fury, who is from a family of Travelers.

Another of Dubois and Gorman’s shared opponents is 32-year-old Romanian Razvan Cojanu who lost a challenge for the WBO Heavyweight title against Joseph Parker in 2017.

Cojanu lost a unanimous decision against Gorman in Manchester last December.

Dubois was much more imposing and scored a second round knockout against Cojanu in March this year.

That was followed for Dubois followed by a fourth round knockout of Richard Lartey in his most recent fight in London in April.

Dubois Will Have Home Advantage

Dubois is from Greenwich and will have home advantage at the O2 Arena which is on the banks of the River Thames and has become the major boxing venue in London.

He is fancied as the bigger hitter in this fight and has a five-inch reach advantage. He he has knocked out 10 of his 11 opponents. But he will have to be clever and avoid the temptation to go looking for a knockout too early.

Gorman is a quick-handed, smart, durable, and intelligent boxer with nimble movement who will be able to set traps for his opponent. He has stopped 11 of his 16 opponents.

Pick: Dubois (-196)
