Press Conference Quotes
Dubois: "I wanted to defend my British Title but no one would step up to fight me. I want to be fighting world champions within the next 12 months and when the opportunity to fight for the WBC Silver Title was made available, a belt that Dillian Whyte held until his last fight, I jumped at it. I'll also be defending my WBO International title I won in my last fight" said Dubois on his latest assignment.
"Fujimoto has a good rating and is a great stepping stone on my path to the top.
"He will have his own ambitions and I know he was rumoured before to be considered for a fight with Anthony Joshua, but I will be knocking that ambition out of him on December 21st when I knock him out."
