Unbeaten heavyweights Daniel “Dynamite” Dubois (14-0, 13 KOs) and “The Juggernaut” Joe Joyce (10-0, 9 KOs) were supposed to meet earlier this year before the Corona pandemic threw a wrench into things. Now Joyce will meet Michael Wallisch (20-3, 13KOs) on July 25 and Dubois will face Erik Pfeifer (7-0, 5 KOs) on August 29. If both are victorious they are slated to collide on October 24th.
On Thursday, Queensberry Promotions announce full details of their first five shows, all taking place behind-closed-doors at BT Sport Studios.
The action kicks off this Friday night with a super bantamweight clash between Brad Foster (12-0-2, 5KO’) and James Beech Jr (12-0, 2KOs).
After the July 25 Joyce-Wallisch card, the July 31 event features light heavyweight Lyndon Arthur (16-0, 12KOs) vs. Dec Spelman (16-3, 8KOs) for the Commonwealth belt.
August 20 will feature super featherweight Archie Sharp (18-0, 9KOs) against Jeff Ofori (10-2-1, 3KOs).
On the August 29 Dubois-Pfeifer undercard, IBF super flyweight champion Sunny Edwards (14-0, 4 KOs) defends against Thomas Essomba (10-5, 4KO’s).
Basically, tune-ups to break the rust loose so the main bout will be a barn burner!!
Speaking of tune ups ive been ready about Charlie ‘Phil’ Rosenburg. The guy had 3 tuneups against decent opposition a month before his world title fight. Incredible activity wayyyy back.
Will be good to see both Joyce and Dubois in tune up fights, good decision. Good build up to them facing each other.
These 2 are tune-up fighters, ZZZZZ, get in there and take chances..
These will both be short fights. Wallisch has been stopped by Tony Yoka, Efe Ajagba and Christian Hammer in 2, 3 and 5 rounds respectively. Pfeifer is unbeaten but has only fought low calibre opposition and it took him 5 rounds to defeat a fighter called Adnan Redzovic (who Tom Schwarz KO’d in 2).
