Dubois speaks about Usyk and Fury's rematch

British champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) is determined to fight the winner of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The 27-year-old International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt holder noted that he is particularly attracted to the fight against the Ukrainian, whom he lost by knockout last August.

Dubois said this in an interview with Sky Sports News. According to the British heavyweight, his main goal is to fight for the title of absolute world champion in the king's division, and Usyk and Fury are on the way to the top, occupying top positions in the list of the world's best heavyweights.

"I'm going for their belts! They are the best. I want to fight everyone. I'm just going to run over them. If Usyk wins, it will be revenge. If Fury wins, I'm ready to get into his territory. We'll figure it out when we get to that point. I have several big fights in the pipeline. That's my goal," Dubois said.

It should be noted that the rematch between Oleksandr and Tyson will take place on December 21. Experts consider the Ukrainian boxer a favorite. Thus, GGBET analysts offer to bet on the victory of our compatriot with odds of 1.61 for Usyk vs. Fury 2. The success of the Briton is estimated at 2.73. The odds for a draw reach 17.5.

Boxing stars also agree with bookmakers. For example, veteran Dereck Chisora noted that Fury has virtually no chance of revenge. And British promoter Ben Shalom simply put an end to Tyson and his ability to beat the Ukrainian. In turn, the head of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, said that he did not know how to defeat Oleksandr.

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.

On October 23, Usyk and Fury had their first duel of looks before the second fight. The Ukrainian appeared unusually, changing his image. In addition, he forced his opponent to take an unusual step to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Earlier 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.

The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations from the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the fighters' repeat.

In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr. And the Ukrainian named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.

Fury also responded to Usyk's team representatives to the comparison with dictator Vladimir Putin. The Gypsy King explained why he turned away from the Ukrainian during a duel of the eyes before the first fight.
