When little-known heavyweight Ebenezer Tetteh (19-0, 16 KOs) meets highly regarded Daniel Dubois (12-0, 11 KOs) at London’s Royal Albert Hall on September 27, he insists he will punish Dubois for two reasons.
Reason 1: “I am going to England to get revenge for my countryman Richard Lartey. Richard gave Daniel hell but couldn’t get the job done – I will finish what Richard Lartey started.”
Reason 2: “Daniel is speaking a lot about fights with David Price or Dereck Chisora. He is definitely overlooking me. It reminds me of when Anthony Joshua was going into the fight with Andy Ruiz and kept talking about fighting Wilder and Fury. He got punished for overlooking his opponent and I will punish Daniel Dubois.”

I like Tetteh’s confidence, but so far he has fought only 4 fighters with positive records, and all 4 had something else in common: they are entirely unknown – as he is – despite his 19-0 record.
Dubois has never fought anyone with a negative record, and had an incomparably better opposition. Frank Bruno is one of many boxing greats who think highly of Dubois.
Dubuis by KO within 4 rounds.
I think Dubois has some real raw talent, but he looks so wooden to me. Hope he does well, but I can see him getting schooled further up the ladder
@CB: I think that’s why Bruno stressed the point of Dubois being brought along carefully. Most rising heavyweights today try to get into a title fight too soon. But I agree, he is still very raw. Nice guy though.
‘Wooden’, good description. In training videos, or highlights he looks powerful, fast, even reminds a person of Mike Tyson, but then in the fight he moves nothing like Mike.
Agree….the fight clips I have seen all showed the same stiff upper body in his fights. He has some explosiveness, but also moves awkwardly in the ring.
Whenever I look at old Mike Tyson tapes in his prime, I feel that he would knock out every single current heavyweight within the first round. His explosiveness was insane.
Easy work for Dubois.
Wow! This dude is soggy and dripping with confidence.. Either he knows something that we don’t(yet), or he carries an opinion of himself much more inflated than what reality will allow. Dubois, though green still… Looks like the goods already on some level. Certainly not a pushover and definitely not a gimme to anyone.
Ebenezer Tetteh has a nasty uppercut that he uses alot. I like to see that. It Will interesting to see if and when that lands what kind of damage it does to potential world class talent.
Never heard if Tetteh, but I always love battles between two undefeated guys, especially at HW.
Dubois is my long term pick to reign supreme, but I think he’s about 3 years away. That’s fine considering how young he is. However, based on the current state of the Division I wouldn’t bet against him against anybody except the big 3 or 4.
Ebenezer “Scrooge” going down in this fight! “Ta Ta” Tetteh!!
