Dubois spoke about the rematch between Usyk and Fury
International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt holder Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) has little doubt that Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) will win the rematch with Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) on December 21. The Briton admitted that he would like to see his compatriot triumph, but praised the Ukrainian's skills.
Dubois said this in an interview with The Guardian. According to the 27-year-old heavyweight champion, who lost to Usyk by technical knockout in the ninth round last August, he emphasized that Oleksandr is inspired by the support of the Ukrainian people.
"As a Brit, I want Tyson to win because of everything he's done for the sport. You have to respect that. But something tells me that Usyk will win again. Usyk has luck on his side and he has the skills. He is supported by his people and he is fighting for his country. But whoever wins, I will get in the ring and challenge the winner to a fight. I want to fight Usyk for revenge. I want to make up for that defeat," Dubois said.
The day before, the final press conference of the Usyk vs. Fury rematch took place in Riyadh, during which the boxers staged an epic duel of looks. Eyewitnesses filmed everything that happened during this event.
Earlier, the legendary Kostya Tszyu gave his prediction for the second Usyk – Fury fight 2. In his turn, the Briton made a categorical statement about the upcoming fight, which was subject to a historic rule.
On December 17, the official ceremony of the rivals' arrival in Riyadh took place, during which the Ukrainian impressed with his appearance. He also climbed into the cockpit and watched Tyson.
Also, our compatriot announced his intention to leave the super-heavyweight division. He answered the question of whether he was going to end his career after the rematch with Fury.
On December 1, an epic promo for the rematch between Usyk and Fury was released. It has already been called a disgrace to American boxing companies.
Before that, it became known that Tyson wanted to organize a trilogy with Oleksandr to go down in boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.
