In Paris, at the European Olympic qualifier, Caroline Dubois won for the second time to secure a place at the Tokyo Games and four hours later, in Telford, Daniel Dubois ended his medical exile by winning the WBA’s interim heavyweight title. Daniel Dubois was once part of that GB squad of Olympic dreamers, but left as a 19-year-old boy in 2017 to concentrate on glory as a professional; it went well, nice and smooth, he picked up seven belts before losing to Joe Joyce last November in his 16th fight. In the opposite corner was a big lump from Romania called Bogdan Dinu and the pair were scrapping for the WBA interim heavyweight title, one of a dozen belts available on the fringes of a sport where keeping track of “champions” is now increasingly difficult. Dubois now gets a crack at a man called Trevor Bryan, an unbeaten American promoted by Don King, who holds the WBA’s regular heavyweight title; Anthony Joshua has the WBA’s super belt.
