you may not instantly recognise the name, but hes a Bellator MMA fighter. He was in a bit of a heated feud with James Gallagher a few years ago. He's 0-1 as a pro boxer and will be much small than Fury. He trains with Jake Paul though and talks a ton of shit. Nothing but a lay-up for the Paul fight but the build should be a circus.

Daniel Dubois posted a picture of the Jake/Woodley card on Instagram and is getting piled on in the comments:

Comments saying he should be embarrassed to be on this card, he should be headlining over Jake Paul, he needs new management, boxing is a joke etc.

How can people not see that as a US debut for Daniel Dubois he's scored an pretty sweet deal here. He's got a showcase spot on Showtime PPV, a show which will be covered by every combat sports publication around (both Boxing and MMA), and he's likely going to win via highlight reel KO. How can anyone see anything negative in this from Dubois' point of view?

Because social media is full of purists and wannabe purists who hate that boxing is a business. The boxing/YouTuber dynamic is the same as wrestling/MMA when Lesnar went over to UFC.

It’s tremendous for Daniel - global exposure in the biggest market in the world, and it also happens to be the home market of the next opponent he needs to lure into a fight (Bryan).
