HE has a licence to thrill, the keys to a kingdom… and now a super-car to drive.
Daniel Dubois also has an undisputed heavyweight title shot against Oleksandr Usyk in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley on Saturday night.

Dubois, 27, is a different beast to the boy-bulldozer who took a knee in the ninth round after Usyk produced one stiff southpaw jab too many in a rain-soaked Wroclaw, Poland, in 2023.
But since then, Dubois has bashed up Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.
Those three high-level wins have rebuilt his reputation — a Porsche 911 reflecting Dubois’ increased confidence.
He revealed: “I passed the test first time. What am I doing all this for, if I can’t spend it and enjoy it?
“I’m the one taking punches in the head and putting my health on the line.
“I chose that car because my dad had one when I was younger and it helped him pull the girls back then.
“When I am in camp for a fight, dad wants to pick me up and drop me off to take away any distractions.
“Once this is over we can have a laugh and play around in it, but right now we are in fight mode.”

The relationship between Dubois and his dad might appear complex, but father-of-ELEVEN Stan is the Londoner’s mentor and inspiration.
Dubois said: “If you can’t do it for your dad, then who can you do it for? I have already made my dad proud.”
Dubois’ other defeat was to Joe Joyce in 2020 after breaking an orbital bone.
His latest rebuild saw trainer Don Charles convince the 6ft 5in powerhouse he has the heart to match the muscles.
Dubois explained: “After the last three wins — Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua — I knew I had it in me. I had to prove it.
“I was winning and fighting harder and becoming battle hardened.”
Lennox Lewis, Britain’s last undisputed heavyweight champion, is flying in for the fight and Dubois said: “My favourites growing up were Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson.
“This fight puts me up among all of them, the biggest names in history.”
