Daniel Dubois KO’s Ricardo Snijders in front of Tyson Fury to continue his meteoric rise
DYNAMITE Daniel Dubois blasted away eight months of cobwebs with the 15th win of his firecracker career last night.
The 22-year-old heavyweight British champion has an all-London October 24 defence against Joe Joyce booked, so needed a keep-warm bout against Dutchman Ricardo Snijders.
And Peacock Gym-prodigy Dubois scored four knockdowns inside two rounds to demolish the 18-1 visitor who will return to the Netherlands vowing to never fight DDD again.
After eight miserable months out of the ring for the young workaholic, the ruthless 17st powerhouse smothered his sacrificial lamb in mint sauce and devoured him.
Dubois dropped his man three times at the end of the first round, the first was as clean as a whistle, following a string of piston-like jabs and a brutal left hook to the body.
The two later deckings of the stanza seemed to the fallout, after no obvious punches dropped the innocent victim.
And, as soon as the second round started, 26-year-old Snijders was crumpled again by the South London steam train and the one-sided bout was waved off.
The Greenwich mean machine said: “I am just getting warmed up. Next time I will have a proper fighter in Joe Joyce and that will make for an even better fight.
“I needed that fight, any fight, I had to get the rust off and I enjoyed it.
“I will do the same thing to Joe, in even better fashion actually. I need a step-up toward a world title.”
Moments before the contest, ex-world champ and pundit David Haye told viewers to watch out for DDD’s jab before ringside heavyweight ruler Tyson Fury sang his praises.

And fans were not disappointed by their predictions as Dubois raced to victory.
Dubois and Joyce’s shared promoter Frank Warren said: “This fight has to go with a live crowd and we should learn about that in the next week.
“We have to keep the sport going and the fights on, next we have to get the two guys in the ring and see who is the best.”
