Daniel Dubois announces next fight as Brit targets another heavyweight title

Daniel Dubois will bid to add another title to his collection when he takes on Ebenezer Tetteh next month.

The hard-hitting heavyweight returns to action following his win over domestic rival Nathan Gorman.

And the Commonwealth title will be on the line at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 27, assuming Tetteh comes through a scheduled fight next weekend.

The Ghanaian has won all 19 of his professional fights but has never boxed outside of his homeland.

The combined record of his previous opponents reads a dispiriting 119-185-3.

But Dubois said: "This is a natural progression for me because I want to win every title available to me on my way to becoming a world champion.

"I have won the Southern Area, English and British titles already, so I am heading down what people call the traditional route, while also gaining international experience and rankings by winning the WBC Youth, WBO European and Global titles.

"So I believe this is the ideal next step for me against an unbeaten fighter with a lot of KOs to his name.

"It should make for an exciting fight at the Royal Albert Hall and I cannot wait to get back there and do my thing."

Nicola Adams, who was recently elevated to world champion, will also appear on the show.

Promoter Frank Warren also has a tentative agreement for Adams to face the winner of the clash between IBF champion Leonela Paola Yudica and Mexican Isabel Millan, providing the winner comes through unscathed.

Double Olympic champion Adams was upgraded to WBO world champion last month by virtue of her Interim title holding status, following the removal of Arely Mucino.

The show will also feature super featherweight Archie Sharp, middleweight banger Denzel Bentley, heavyweight Jonathan Palata and bantamweight talent Dennis McCann.
