Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois II? Is there any fan curiosity? Would possibly there be if “Dynamite” Dubois lives as much as his nickname and defeats Anthony Joshua of their fast-approaching September twenty first conflict? 27 yr previous Dubois, talking with TNT Sports activities (who will, together with Sky Sports activities and DAZN, present the struggle reside within the UK) stated he must “proper that unsuitable.”
Dubois was referring to ‘that’ physique shot knockdown, the one Dubois inflicted on Usyk within the struggle that happened in Poland slightly over a yr in the past. The punch was dominated a low blow, however to today, loads of individuals imagine the shot was legit, with Usyk “milking it,” as he was given time to get well. Usyk, after all, got here again to halt Dubois within the ninth spherical. However Dubois says he desires a second go at Usyk, and he believes a win over Joshua would possibly get him it.
“There may be undoubtedly unifinished enterprise with me and Usyk, and that’s a part of my rise,” Dubois stated. “I have to go in there and proper that unsuitable. I used to be in a darkish place earlier than, and I’m coming into the sunshine, so I have to get that again.”
Usyk not too long ago stated that he’s solely all for return fights with Tyson Fury (the rematch set, after all, for September 21 in Saudi Arabia) and, if he defeats Dubois, Joshua in what could be a 3rd struggle between the 2. So, a return assembly with Dubois doesn’t appear to carry any actual enchantment for Usyk. And, after all, Dubois has a heck of a job to do with a view to topple AJ. Some followers and specialists really feel Dubois, who’s each younger and hungry, can do it later this month. Others really feel Joshua’s higher edge in expertise will see him to victory at Wembley.
Oleksandr Usyk will doubtless be watching on September 21, however he appears to have eyes on dealing with solely Joshua in a return assembly, not Dubois.
However, Dubois feels he might be one of many prime males within the division if he wins over AJ. In actual fact, Dubois thinks a win over Joshua places him at “the highest of the tree.”
“It places me on the prime of the tree now. It does make me the king, for certain,” he stated.
Solely a revenge win over Usyk would put Dubois on the absolute prime of the heavyweight division, however will “DDD” ever get a second go on the unbeaten Ukrainian?
