Dubois out to destroy Tetteh

- TOM HOPKINSON

DANIEL DUBOIS says he doesn’t know if Ebenezer Tetteh is any good and he’s just going to seek him out and destroy him.

British heavyweigh­t champion Dubois, 22, faces the Ghanaian for the vacant Commonweal­th heavyweigh­t title at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Friday.

And the London-born scrapper, 22, is confident the fight will be another step towards his goal of becoming heavyweigh­t world champion.

He said: “We’ll see on the night if it’s my toughest test yet.

“I haven’t studied videos of him, really. I’m just approachin­g this fight with the mindset of seek and destroy. I want to perform to the best of my ability.

“The Commonweal­th belt is another step in the right direction, it’s about proving myself and getting up the rankings. I’m carving out my legacy.

“My promoter Frank Warren has laid out a path for me.

“All I have to do is fight and knock over whoever is in front of me.

“Whenever we get there, we get there but I’m going to create my legacy and make sure I become a legend in this sport before I leave.”

Tetteh has accused Dubois of overlookin­g him amid talk of clashes with David Price and Dereck Chisora.

But Dubois added: “I don’t ever overlook anyone. I don’t know where he’s coming from but if he’s thinking that, that’s great.

“All I know is that on fight night I’ll be coming to win and I’ll bring my A game.”

The Commonweal­th belt is up for grabs after Joe Joyce vacated it and a fight against Joyce is one Dubois fancies in the future.

He said: “Whenever we do get it on it’s a massive event.

“I’ll be ready.”
