Usyk to Dubois: “I want to fight you” – an undeniable heavyweight match

Alexander Usik says he wants to face Daniel Dubbes afterwards after DDD withdrew from his fight against Joseph Parker this Saturday.

WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion USYK do not say what made him suddenly focus his attention on the fight against IBF Dubois champion (22-2, 21 kos). It may be the challenge he did after his victory over Tyson Fury in their rematch on December 21st.

Victory for Usik (23-0, 14 KO) over Duboa would make him a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion. This makes the battle useful. Also, this allows Usik to reassure his critics, who believed that Dubois was robbed of victory against him in their battle two years ago on August 26, 2023 in Vroclaw, Poland.

Dubois cut usyk with a Beltline shot in the fifth round. The shot held the usyk on the canvas for five minutes, recovering. However, the referee manages it as a low blow. Repetitions showed that it seemed like a stroke on the belt line.

The next Usyk challenge

“I want to fight after that with Dubois,” said Alexander Usik in the Dazn box when he asked him who he wanted to face in his next match.

It would be a risk struggle for Usik to do, because if Dubua is withdrawn, as he against Parker, he will waste a training camp. The last thing a 38-year-old usyk needs is to deal with the deposits of his age.

Money, Usik will be better to fight Fury or Anthony Joshua again, but these guys will not want to fight with him for the third time. USYK already exposed both twice, showing that they were never as good as their loyal fans were made to believe.

It shows you what promoters can do with careful wedding. They can turn almost anyone into a star. This tradition continues with the new harvest of fighters, fed poor opposition to give the appearance of greatness.
