Dubois answers the question of who he will support in the rematch between Usyk and Fury
British heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) wished his compatriot Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) to defeat Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) in a rematch. The boxer noted that he will attend the second fight between the Englishman and the Ukrainian and plans to challenge the winner to a fight.
Dubois said this in an interview with the Podlounge uk YouTube channel. The holder of the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt added that he dreams of unifying all the titles of the king's division, and his last victory over Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) confirmed his position in the super-heavyweight division.
"I still support Fury. I hope our guy will do it. Usyk is a skilled fighter, he has great skills. He is a boxer with Olympic achievements. Fury has to pounce on him and overwhelm him. Fury is also a skillful boxer, it will be a great fight. I will be there and call the winner. When they fight, whoever wins, I want a unification fight to take place to get more belts," said Dubois.
