Undefeated heavyweight Daniel Dubois (13-0, 12 KOs) scored a first round TKO over previously unbeaten Ebenezer Tetteh (19-1, 16 KOs) to claim the vacant Commonwealth title on Friday night at Royal Albert Hall in London. Dubois dropped Tetteh twice in the first round. Tetteh beat the count and wanted to continue but it was waved off by referee Mark Lyson, much to Tetteh’s disgust. Time was 2:10.
Early night 😁👊🏿

If Dubois fights Deontay Wilder, he is the one who will get crushed.
Too early for Daniel. Wilder too seasoned at moment. 18 months down line could be a match.
Doughboy vs Bum Squad…. Battle of the bums 2020!
If they do fight, it won’t be for years. By then, Wilder will be in complete decline.
Right. Luckily Wilder next meets Ortiz who did road work with Paavo Nurmi.
Ha ha, you would say that. Wilder will get crushed and smashed by Fury.
Knocked down twice, wants to continue but fight is waved off. Fury knocked out unconcious and the fights is allowed to continue…..lol, please tell me that fights arent fixed….lol
With Fury it was in the 12th and this one it was in the 1st. Fury went on to win the rest of the round too.
The main thing is that Fury and Tetteh showed contrasting body languages. To me Tetteh looked like he didn’t want to be in there from the word go.
You know what your talking about. Tetteh looked a bit aprehensive to continue. You could see it in his eyes.
Probably doesn’t change the result but he did get up right away. Should have been given a chance to continue.
Tettah talked so much trash! BWAHAHAHA!!!!!
Tetteh has fought nobody has a very padded record still a good stay busy fight for Dubois I’m glad he’s staying active.
This guy is going to be a force to reckon with in the heavyweight division. A fast, powerful jab and a huge puncher, in general!
Look, Tettah isn’t a true Heavyweight and really only managed to look like a punching bag (seriously, did Dubois miss any punches?), but it does not change the simple facts:
1) Dubois is a serious young prospect.
2) He has size, power, seemingly good management (they don’t want to rush him and with his youth there is no reason to) and nothing but time to spare.
3) He reminds me of Riddick Bowe. He can fight on the inside and the outside and even resembles Big Daddy a bit (a little more muscular). Hopefully, he remains focused even after he wins a Title.
4) He’ll win one in 2 years or less. He’d give any of the top 5 all they can handle right now. What happens in 18 months?
5) When faced with inferior opposition he did what he was supposed to do….in ONE ROUND!
Maybe in 5 years he cant beat someone with a heartbeat until then he needs to step it up, typical British boxer fights cab drivers to get a high rating.
Tetteh is too skinny.
DDD is no joke. DDD is only slightly behind Fury, AJ or Whyte. I really like how calm and fluid he looked in this fight. Powerful jab and body work are excellent for a HW. Joyce will at least land some big shots against DDD even if he looses.
Tetteh may have been untested but young undefeated West African fighter from Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon typically have a lot of heart and good chins even as HW.
Tetteh looked looked and fought as a novice. Both Dubois and the referee did a perfect job ending the mis-match before Tetteh got hurt. Tetteh can go back home and run up a list of wins and still have some kind of a career.
Dubois is slow but precise. And he seems to be an easy learner. Can he take a punch? If so – Wilder, Fury, Joshua, Parker and Ruiz should start to worry.
You can’t bash Dubois for taking a stay-busy fight against an undefeated Challenger. Tom Schwartz anyone? He’s young and still in development. Meaningless fight in terms of risk involved but part of boxing is the process and the ceremony.
Wow, Dubois only 13th pro fight and 12th KO. Only 22 years old and looks like a destructive force, still long way to go. If he keeps this up, he will KO the likes of Miller or Hunter within 5 fights from now. Least he will be stepping it up sooner unlike Wilder who faced 40 bums before stepping it up.
Tethev is alot better than that, I smell a fix. I also am putting alert out about a Grant given to the Ghanian government to save the stripped giraffe.
Records mean nothing if you have beaten nothing remember indongo so called Olympian and former world champion seriously how did acheive such things with his lack of ability.
