"If he misses..." Joshua makes a prediction for Usyk-Dubois fight

British contender Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) has a chance to defeat unified world champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) in a fight on 26 August. Dynamite, as the London native is called, has a powerful punch, which is an incredibly important factor in the super-heavyweight division.

This opinion was expressed by former world champion Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) in an interview with the iFL TV YouTube channel, Boxing Social writes. He added that Usyk has achieved his success through hard work, but he cannot be considered invulnerable, because he, like everyone else, misses punches.

"Dubois has a chance. Boxing is a beautiful business, a beautiful sport, that's why we watch it. I have a lot of respect for Usyk. I know how hard this guy works. His success is not due to luck. He achieved everything through hard work. But it would be nice if Dubois won for his legacy too. For him, it's like a dream with everything he's been through. Usyk misses punches. So if he misses a "wrong punch", he could go down. Remember that this is heavyweight boxing. You're dealing with serious punchers, so I'm giving him a chance to hit," Joshua said.

The fight between Usyk and Dubois will take place in Wroclaw. If he wins, Oleksandr hopes to unify all the super-heavyweight belts in a fight with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), who announced a fight with former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Francis Ngannou the day before.

Saudi Arabia intends to organise the fights Usyk - Fury and Joshua - Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) on the same night. The media published the boxers' fees for the grand show. At the same time, Anthony has already confirmed his fight against Deontay.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, the famous Russian promoter Vladimir Khryunov wished Oleksandr Usyk defeat in the fight with Daniel Dubois. The Briton himself spoke about the fear he saw in the Ukrainian's eyes during the duel of the eyes. For his part, Usyk sharply addressed Tyson, sending him away.
