Frank Warren on Jake Paul, Tommy Fury and Daniel Dubois taking America by storm

Don’t miss a thing by getting the Daily Star’s biggest headlines straight to your inbox!

It was boxing with a difference for me last weekend in the US.

It was certainly something I'd never experienced before.

An event headlined between a YouTuber with three pro fights against an MMA guy making his debut.

There were two Brits in action, a women's world title fight and another couple of bouts and the arena in Cleveland was packed and wild.

They were not the usual folk you see at boxing, that's for sure.

But credit to Jake Paul. It's not really my thing but he's selling tickets and pay-per-views.

Some boxers are not fighting often enough to create a similar buzz.

But there's no reason why many talented fighters can't create that interest.

They just need to be in the ring more and make sure they get known.

Who knows what Paul is doing next. He said he retired, now he says he is back.

But the reason we had Tommy Fury on the card was that he would face the YouTube star next.

Now hopefully that fight can happen.

What a night it was in America for Daniel Dubois.

He went in against a puncher and stood toe-to-toe with him. He even took a couple of shots himself.

But Joe Cusumano couldn't live with the power of Dubois and he was dealt with in a round.

The crowd absolutely loved him and I can't wait to bring him back to the US for a huge fight.

Dubois is still improving but I don't believe there are many heavyweights who can live with his power.

I believe the WBA will mandate him to fight regular champion Trevor Bryan next.

If he goes and beats Bryan then Dubois will be perfectly placed as the heavyweight landscape threatens to change over the next couple of years should Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua finally fight.

The Bryan fight is a really exciting one and I'm happy to bring it to the UK.

But if the American insists it has to be over there then Dubois has shown he has no worries about travelling.
