Heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois needed only 3 minutes, 20 seconds to dispatch Ricardo Snijders behind closed doors Saturday at the BT Sport Studio in London.

Dubois (15-0, 14 KOs) put Snijders (18-2, 8 KOs) down three times in the first round and once more in the second, prompting referee Marcus McDonnell to stop the mismatch.

Snijders was a late replacement for Erik Pfeifer, who reportedly had issues with his medicals.

Dubois, 22, is now set to face fellow Londoner Joyce (11-0, 10 KOs) in a much-anticipated bout on Oct. 24. The winner will take a significant step toward a title shot and star status.

Joyce, 34, stopped Michael Wallisch in the third round on July 25.
