Heavyweight star Daniel Dubois has offered crucial advice to young prospect Moses Itauma following his shocking stoppage loss to Filip Hrgovic. Speaking to Seconds Out, Dubois emphasized that the 21-year-old needs to take a step back and rebuild his career rather than rushing into an immediate rematch with the dangerous Croatian.
Dubois, who knows the unforgiving nature of the heavyweight division, stated that a loss like this reveals a fighter's true circle. He urged Itauma to look closely at his team during this difficult moment to see who the real ones are. Dubois acknowledged that Hrgovic is a uniquely tough competitor, meaning Itauma should focus on a gradual recovery to correct his tactical mistakes.
While Itauma figures out his next steps, Dubois remains entirely focused on his own path to glory. He made it clear that his personal priority is capturing more championship belts. He is leaving the young prospect behind to regroup while he targets the top of the division.
