The famous old story goes that Dubois, then a teenager completely unknown outside of boxing circles, rocked up to Anthony Joshua’s gym in 2016 and gave the Olympian a frightful few rounds, rumoured to have left the future world champion out cold.

In his last outing, in 2021, Pacquiao looked slow and overmatched against Yordenis Ugas. Pacquiao lost a unanimous decision and was outlanded by Ugas in total punches (151-130), jabs (50-42) and power punches (101-88).
