Daniel Dubois makes quick work of Bogdan Dinu
Daniel Dubois is back in the win column.
The heavyweight contender from London, who was stopped by Joe Joyce in November, stopped Bogdan Dinu in the second round Saturday night in Telford, England.
Dubois (16-1, 15 KOs) boxed patiently at the opening bell, although he began close the distance on Dinu (20-3, 16 KOs) before three minutes were up.
Then, about 15 seconds into Round 2, Dubois landed a straight right hand to the chin that knocked Dinu onto the canvas and hurt him.

The Romanian made an effort to get up but he couldn’t beat the count. The official time was 31 seconds into Round 2.
“I want to get back in the mix,” Dubois said. “We’re gonna get there, man. I need to keep listening to what [new trainer] Shane [McGuigan] tells me and be the best I can be.”
Dubois was stopped in 10 rounds by Joyce after Dubois took a knee, which was a major setback for him. It was determined that suffered a broken eye socket.
