Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois

[Master]

"The guy is going to earn some decent money," Usyk said. "For Francis Ngannou, this is a great opportunity, but for Tyson Fury, it's definitely not."

The unbeaten Ukrainian believes Fury's choice to face Ngannou is driven by financial considerations rather than a genuine desire to test his skills against top-rated boxers in the heavyweight division.

Usyk added: "Doesn't it seem strange that instead of choosing a top-10 guy, he is choosing someone who has never boxed before?"

When asked if he believes Fury is scared of facing him, Usyk did not hesitate with his response.

"Yes, of course! Of course," Usyk said. "Greedy belly [Fury] is afraid of me."

"Let's make it happen," Usyk said of a potential bout against Fury, adding: "I am ready.

"After I fight Dubois I am ready to go, [but] my main focus now is August 26."

Dubois may as well just go out slugging with controlled pressure and try for the KO.
He isnt going to outbox Usyk.

Dubois has already been bounce around the ring by a lesser former cruiserweight
Usyk could end this fight in a round

Stop it. I think it goes the distance. At least. Usyk is not the hardest hitting HW. It's amazing how just a year or so ago, Dubois was stopped by Joyce and is now on the cusp of fighting for the title, but now people are questioning if Joyce will come back to do anything in this sport.

Dubois will win and stop Usyk to cause a massive upset. He is bigger, stronger, hungrier and younger.

This won't go the distance
Lerena is not the hardest hitting HW
Dubois is made of glass

Just saying...if ever there's time for a major letdown on the elite level, this is one . But can't see it at the end of the day. Dubois is and I'm sure he knows it but this is now or never for him. Man has a legit punch. Fury has managed to take one of the most necessary mega fights today and turned it into an afterthought with the carnival act. But he gets away with it and sanctioning bodies just laugh along. It's clearly on the mind of Usyk calling for the belt etc. Usyk is the case of not being asked or tempted to come up a division...or three but just walking into the heavyweight house and spanking a top dog. Twice! But it really feels like Fury, Wilder and company are just hunkered in the spare bedroom waiting for him to go away. Rather than kicking him out. Dubois will stand in and deliver before it's done but Usyk should gradually carve him up pulling away. Great to have an afternoon and primetime card for the weekend.
