Daniel Dubois has picked up 22 of his 23 wins by stoppage

The 'Don't Blink' tagline was never meant to be taken quite so literally.

When Daniel Dubois crashed to the canvas within 10 seconds of the opening bell in Manchester - and again in the third round - suddenly every soul inside the Co-op Live Arena was paying very close attention.

For years, Dubois has carried the label of a fighter who folds when things become uncomfortable. Opponents and fans alike have questioned his heart, mentality, and toughness.

During fight week, Fabio Wardley even joked that if Dubois was not a boxer, he would be a "bin man".
