FRANK WARREN has confirmed talks are underway for a huge heavyweight showdown between Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce.
Dubois vowed to “bang up” his old sparring partner following his explosive win over Kyotaro Fujimoto last month.
Frank Warren wants the two British fighters to go to war for the European heavyweight title
His promoter, Warren, sent fans wild as he revealed that negotiations for the all-British showdown have started.
He shared a picture of himself alongside two of Joyce’s promoter with his 215,300 followers on Twitter.
The caption read: “Delighted to confirm talks are underway for a huge domestic heavyweight clash in 2020.
“Juggernaut vs Dynamite. Let’s make it happen.”
Warren wants Dubois, 22, to take on the 34-year-old for the European heavyweight title in the spring.
Failing that, Dubois will come up against heavyweight veterans Derek Chisora or Dillian Whyte.
Dubois – nicknamed Dynamite – boasts a record of 14-0 with 13 knockouts.
Joyce – known in the ring as Juggernaut – also boasts an unbeaten record of 10-0 with nine knockouts.
But the 22-year-old has vowed to knockout the former commonwealth heavyweight title holder if he underestimates him.
He said: “I didn’t actually speak to Joe Joyce after the fight, he sent his little mouthpiece over to speak to Frank.
“Joe was in the Team GB camp when I went up there, he was just about to go to the Olympics and I was a young kid trying to find my feet and see what’s what.
“I was 17 or 18 years old but I was holding my own and giving him more than enough trouble.
“Hopefully Joe underestimates me based on those sparring sessions and I can bang him up.”
