In a captivating heavyweight clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Daniel Dubois revived his career by scoring a dramatic late stoppage over Jarrell Miller. With just 10 seconds remaining in the contest, Dubois unleashed a barrage of hooks that sent Miller stumbling into his corner. The referee quickly stepped in to save the American boxer from further punishment, solidifying Dubois' impressive comeback.

Dubois, aiming to bounce back from a defeat against Oleksandr Usyk at world-title level in August, knew that this fight held great importance for his career. Speaking to Dazn post-fight, the 26-year-old Briton reflected on his victorious performance, stating, "It really mattered tonight. I had to dig deep. I came through it and I showed my heart. I silenced the doubts tonight."

The fight, arguably deserving of a headline spot in a British arena, took place in a 6,000-capacity venue in Saudi Arabia. Despite the absence of a large crowd, Miller, known for playing the villain in the boxing world, received a warm welcome from the Saudi audience. Among the spectators was fellow American boxer Devin Haney, the reigning light-welterweight world champion.

From the opening bell, Dubois established his dominance, landing a crisp jab and powerful body shots early on. Miller, weighing an astonishing 23st 11lb, provided a large target for Dubois to unleash his formidable punches. However, Miller displayed resilience, launching three wild swings in the second round and increasing in confidence with every exchange.

Both fighters engaged in a high-intensity shootout, trading blows relentlessly. While Dubois maintained a higher volume of work, Miller delivered a series of venomous punches. Nevertheless, Dubois quickly regained control, showcasing improved movement and precision in his punches. A chopping right in the seventh round left Miller gasping for air and allowed Dubois to continue his assault on both the head and body.

As the fight progressed, Miller visibly tired, offering Dubois the perfect opportunity to capitalize. Ducking under Miller's telegraphed punches, Dubois countered with impressive speed and accuracy. Miller, showing defiance, puffed out his chest, but a relentless onslaught of unanswered hooks from Dubois left the referee with no choice but to end the fight.

Hours before their encounter, Miller took to Instagram to express his dissatisfaction with the British referee and judges. Dubois' performance against Usyk, in which he controversially dropped the champion with a shot ruled as a low blow, earned him praise despite the ultimate defeat. Rather than opting for an easier comeback fight, Dubois courageously chose to face the formidable Miller.

Dubois' victory not only marks a comeback for himself but also upholds the integrity of the sport. Miller's past transgressions, including failed drug tests, have marred his reputation. However, his controversial and outspoken nature continues to draw attention, particularly considering the significant investment in the heavyweight division by Saudi organizers.

With this career-best performance, Dubois has silenced his critics while proving himself as a worthy contender. The previously reserved and enigmatic heavyweight also found his voice during fight week, taking on Miller's brash trash talk. Moving forward, Dubois expressed his desire to face the best fighters in the division and emphasized that his confidence has been restored.

While questions surrounding Miller and his future remain, his infamous nature ensures he will not fade into obscurity, particularly given the significant backing from Saudi organizers and their commitment to the heavyweight scene.
