Daniel Dubois will make his long-awaited return to the ring on Saturday June 5 with a challenge for the vacant WBA Interim heavyweight title against the towering Romanian Bogdan Dinu.
An absorbing battle came to a halt when Dubois, who suffered a horrific eye injury, removed himself from further danger by taking a knee in the 10th round.
It was later confirmed that he had sustained significant damage to his orbital bone and taking himself out of the firing line almost certainly preserved his career and protected against an even more serious injury.

Daniel Dubois has vowed to come back stronger, following his defeat to Joe Joyce and insists it won’t take him long to get back on track.
Dubois (15-1, 14 KOs) succumbed to a tenth round stoppage loss to Joyce in November in their British, Commonwealth and European Heavyweight title showdown.
The 23-year-old took a knee in the tenth round and was unable to beat the count, with his left eye completely closed and was criticised in some circles for the manner of the defeat.

Promoter Frank Warren is hopeful that Daniel Dubois will return to action in May, subject to a full recovery from an eye injury.
Dubois’ left eye had almost completely closed at the point of the stoppage, with a scan later confirming that the former British and Commonwealth champion had suffered a fractured eye socket and nerve damage.
Warren has revealed that the 23-year-old will see a doctor on February 5, before it’s determined if he can return to the ring in May.
“He had two fractures of his eye socket. One on the flat bone and also the orbital,” Warren told BT Sport Boxing.
