Undefeated British heavyweight prospect Daniel Dubois (8-0, 8 KOs) was extended for the first time in his brief career by wily veteran Kevin Johnson (32-11-1, 16 KOs) on Saturday night at the Leicester Arena in England. The 22 year old Dubois started extremely fast, pressing the durable American from the opening bell.. In the middle rounds Dubois settled into a more manageable rhythm and went on to win nearly all of the ten rounds (100-91) The 39-year-old Johnson had a vast experience having boxed Vitali Klitschko, Tyson Fury, Dereck Chisora and Anthony Joshua but was coming off two straight losses.. Incidentally Kevin last won in October of 2017 by stopping Francesco Pianetta who recently extended Tyson Fury over 10 in his latest comeback fight.. Dubois looked comfortable doing the ten round distance, but did on occasion appear to lack variation in his repertoire..
On the Cheif support in Leicester, Unbeaten WBO #2 rated super lightweight Jack Catterall (23-0, 12 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Ohara Davies (18-2, 14 KOs) in a domestic grudge match.. The bout was a disappointing long range affair with both men picking shots carefully amidst a clash of styles.. Scores were 118-110, 115-113, 15-113. Catterall retained the WBO Intercontinental title and moves on now towards a possible world title shot.. Davies suffers his second pro defeat and is forced to go back to the drawing board..
