Daniel Dubois challenges the champion, Usyk or Fury, I want an undisputed title.
It’s no surprise why Daniel Dubois is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He’s there to witness the fight that everyone will be watching on Saturday night: the highly anticipated rematch between heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former champion Tyson Fury.
Dubois Sets His Sights on Saturday’s Winner
Dubois, the reigning IBF heavyweight champion, is not merely a spectator. His presence in Saudi Arabia signals his ambitions, and he has made his intentions clear—he wants to face the winner and fight for the ultimate glory: becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Speaking to Talk Sport earlier today, Dubois, also known as “DDD,” declared that he is eager to face whoever comes out on top. Dubois—who suffered a controversial stoppage loss to Usyk last summer in a fight clouded by the “low blow or legal shot” debate—is confident he can defeat Usyk in a rematch. Moreover, Dubois is equally assured of his ability to beat Fury, despite the Gypsy King’s reputation as one of the most unshakable forces in boxing.
“I’m here in Saudi Arabia, and I want to fight Saturday’s winner,” Dubois told reporters with unwavering confidence. “I want victory. I want to fight for undisputed. That’s my current goal; that’s the mission. This is the only path forward for me.”
Dubois Eyes Redemption Against Usyk
Dubois’s previous encounter with Usyk remains a contentious topic in boxing circles. In their August clash, Dubois delivered a body shot that many believe should have been ruled a legitimate knockdown. However, it was controversially deemed a low blow, robbing Dubois of what could have been the fight’s decisive moment. Instead, Usyk rallied and secured a stoppage victory in the later rounds. Dubois has never hidden his belief that he was unfairly treated in that fight.
“I know I can beat Usyk. That fight didn’t reflect my potential,” Dubois said. “There’s unfinished business there, and I’m more than ready to set the record straight. I’m stronger, smarter, and hungrier than ever.”
If Usyk repeats his victory over Fury, Dubois’s chance for redemption might not be far off. Usyk’s management recently stated that after defeating Fury a second time, the only heavyweight fight that would interest him is a rematch with Dubois. This sets up a tantalizing narrative of revenge and redemption for the 26-year-old Brit.
Dubois Declares Confidence Against Both Titans
Dubois’s ambitions don’t stop at Usyk. The young champion believes he has what it takes to topple Tyson Fury, widely regarded as one of the most dominant heavyweights of this era. Fury’s size, unorthodox style, and mental resilience make him a daunting opponent, but Dubois sees an opportunity to exploit.
“One hundred percent, I’ll beat both Fury and Usyk,” Dubois said boldly. “This is my time. I’ve been through ups and downs, but I’m a new man now. I’m the man of the future, and I’m ready to fight for undisputed glory.”
Dubois emphasized his growth since his earlier career setbacks. The adversity he’s faced has forged a sharper, more determined fighter. “I’ve gone through challenges, but I’ve come out stronger. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. I’m ready to make history,” Dubois declared. “I want to claim the crown of undisputed and prove that I’m the best in the world.”
As the boxing world awaits the outcome of Usyk vs. Fury, Dubois stands poised to challenge the winner. Whether it’s a chance for revenge against Usyk or a historic showdown with Fury, Daniel Dubois is ready to seize his moment and redefine the heavyweight landscape. One thing is clear: Dubois has his eyes firmly set on becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion and securing his place in the annals of boxing history.
