At just 26, this British powerhouse, nicknamed ‘Dynamite,’ has carved out a reputation as one of the sport’s most dangerous knockout artists. With a knockout ratio of over 86%, he’s proven he’s more than hype-he’s a finisher.
He’s taken on major names like Joe Joyce, Oleksandr Usyk, and most recently, Anthony Joshua. His showdown with Joshua at Wembley in September 2024 was a career-defining moment, drawing over 96,000 fans-the largest boxing crowd in British history.
Dubois turned punches into millions
Currently, Dubois boasts an estimated net worth of around $5 million, driven by high-profile fights and lucrative opportunities abroad. His recent performances, particularly in Saudi Arabia, have significantly boosted his earnings and visibility.
Dubois turned pro in 2017 at just 19, and since then, he’s steadily climbed the heavyweight ladder. His breakout came in 2020 when he faced Joe Joyce, and although he lost, it opened the door to bigger paydays. That fight alone earned him around $2.2 million.
His most recent bout with Anthony Joshua at Wembley in September 2024 was both a financial and sporting milestone. Though Dubois entered as the WBA (Regular) champion, Joshua stopped him in the 8th round to reclaim a version of the heavyweight title-his first since 2021.
What’s next for Dubois?
Dubois, though, remains hungry. “I’m getting used to the idea that I’m the world champion, but I need to beat AJ to legitimize it,” he said before the bout. And even after the loss, his commitment hasn’t wavered. “Every fight teaches me something,” Dubois told the AP. “Win or lose, I grow from it.”
This attitude has made Dubois not just a rising star, but a serious long-term contender in the post-Klitschko heavyweight era.
