The highly anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown between British and Commonwealth champion Daniel “Dynamite” Dubois (pictured) and Joe “Juggernaut” Joyce — Saturday, Nov. 28th in London— has an American broadcast home. Dubois-Joyce and unbeaten junior middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz against Guido Nicolas Pitto will stream live on ESPN+ beginning at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, with a full slate of undercard contests (including the return of junior welterweight Jack Catterall) on ESPN+ starting at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT.

 

The twelve-round heavyweight main event will also be contested for the vacant European title. “The future of the heavyweight division will be seen live on ESPN+ Nov. 28,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “Daniel Dubois is a tremendous young fighter, but Joe is older and had an incredibly successful amateur career. I am glad that American fight fans will have an outlet to watch one of the year’s best fights.”

 

Dubois (15-0, 14 KOs), winner of six in a row by KO, is no stranger to American fight fans, as his last eight bouts have streamed live on ESPN+. He went 5-0 in 2019, including a second-round stoppage over former world title challenger Razvan Cojanu, a fifth-round KO over fellow prospect Nathan Gorman and a second-round blitzing of Kyotaro Fujimoto last December. He made his 2020 debut Aug. 29 and knocked out Ricardo Snijders in the second round.

 

The 35-year-old Joyce (25-2 including the World Series of Boxing) captured a super heavyweight silver medal for Great Britain at the 2016 Olympics. He wasted no time, winning Commonwealth honors in only his fourth bout. In 2019, he knocked out former WBC title holder Bermane Stiverne in six rounds and gatekeeper Alexander Ustinov in three to increase his knockout streak to nine. In July 2019, he went the twelve-round distance and outworked Bryant Jennings. He returned to action July 25th and knocked down Michael Wallisch three times en route to a third-round stoppage.
