Dubois set for immediate £600k blow after fight | Boxing News
Daniel Dubois is set to lose an estimated sum in extra of £600,000 after beating Fabio Wardley on Saturday night due to UK tax legal guidelines. The heavyweight bruiser cruised to the WBO title with an Eleventh-round TKO at Manchester’s Co-Op Live – his third world championship in complete, having beforehand held the WBA (Regular) and IBF belts.
It is assumed that Dubois also pocketed in the area of a £1.3million payday for the bout, although ‘Triple D’ won’t see that full quantity. In the UK, anybody who earns over £125,140 yearly is subject to the extra tax fee of 45 per cent. That means that £585,000 of Dubois’ purse will go straight to HMRC.
Additionally, the 28-year-old can be subject to two per cent National Insurance, a additional £26,000 – taking his potential complete loss to a staggering £611k. If the fight purse estimations are appropriate, then it means that the Briton can be left with £689,000 to play with.
However, the champion will also doubtless give a portion of this to his nook, trainers and health club, as is normal apply. Speaking after his victory over Wardley – which has widely been dubbed as fight of the 12 months – Dubois said: “It was a war.
“We come through the sticky moments. It was a struggle. Thank you, Fabio, for that. Thank you.”
When asked what’s next for him, between the WBO’s mandatory challenger in Moses Itauma and a potential third fight with undefeated Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, Dubois replied: “I would like to grow from this fight, improve and come back even better and go on a reign as champion again.”
Elsewhere, Frank Warren was almost left at a loss for words by the action-packed headline bout. He said: “It was wonderful. These two guys show such coronary heart – both of them.
“Great heart, chins, it was an amazing fight. It was just absorbing, it had everything. Exciting. Best heavyweight fight I’ve ever put on.”
While there’s a rematch clause embedded into the fight contract, Warren saved his playing cards close to his chest as to what the next transfer for Dubois is.
