But now he’s facing a step up in competition against South African Lerena.
Dubois is on the hunt for more titles and is set to be installed as a mandatory challenger for WBA ‘Super’ champ Oleksandr Usyk.
The 25-year-old has also previously been in discussions with Dillian Whyte about an all-British heavyweight clash.
That fight could still happen in the future, following Whyte’s majority decision win over Jermaine Franklin.

What has been said?
“I’m looking to go to the big league and progress from this fight,” Dubois said.
“I want to lay my mark down on this division and what ever [Lerena] brings I’m going to have to deal with it.
“If they want it, Usyk or Tyson, either one of them, I don’t mind who, Anthony Joshua and whoever, these are the fights I want. Having the WBA ‘regular’ title puts me right up there at the front of the queue. I’m No 1 ranked with the WBA, I’m doing it the right way.
“I just need to perform now, I’ve been out the ring a while, I need to get my career moving again.”
