Oleksandr Usyk says he wants to face Daniel Dubois after ‘DDD’ got out of the fight against Joseph Parker for this Saturday.
WBA, WBC and WBO in the heavyweight category USYK do not say what has suddenly drawn to the fight against the IBF Champion of Dubois (22-2, 21 ko). That could be a challenge he did to him after winning Tyson Fury in their rematch on December 21st.
Victory for Usyk (23-0, 14 ko) over Dubois would make him double heavy weights with an inconvenient champion. That’s why the fight is worth it. Also, it allows us to silence his critics, who believed Dubois robbed a victory against him in their fight two years ago on August 26, 2023 in Wroclaw, Poland.
Dubois lowered the usyka with a belt in the fifth round. The shooting was held on the canvas of five minutes of recovery. However, the judge ruled it as a low blow. Reprints showed that it looked like a stroke on the belt.
Usyk’s next challenge
“I want to fight Dubois next,” Oleksandr Usyk said in Dazn Boxing, when asked with whom he wants to face in his next fight.

She would be a risky fight for Usyk, because if Dubois withdraws as well as a parker, she will lose training camp. The last thing to need for a 38-year-old USYK is to face delay in his age.
Money, Usyku would be better off fighting Fury or Anthony Joshua again, but these guys won’t want to fight him for the third time. Usyk has already exposed both twice twice, showing that they were never as good as their loyal fans believed.
Shows you what promoters can do with a careful match. They can turn almost anyone into a star. This tradition continues with the new crops of fighters, fed by poor opposition to appear in size.
