Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois

[Memphis]

If a shot presents itself, take it, props to Dubois for that. But he's going to find himself horribly out of his depth here and I can't see anything other than another damaging defeat.

"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.

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.

​He definitely wanted him to be first in the phone book didn’t he? It’s like that plumber, a aardvark Ltd

Warren told the PA news agency: “It is a massive opportunity and it has not been given to Daniel. He’s had to fight for it and become mandatory by winning the WBA regular belt.

“Now he’s in there and he could have stepped aside if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to.

“He wants the fight and I believe sometimes in boxing the biggest and best punches are all about timing. I believe his timing will be right for this fight.”

While Warren did attempt to bring the world title fight to London, it will take place in Poland and Dubois (19-1, 18KOs) will find himself as public enemy number one.

A number of Ukraine natives have resided in Poland since Russia’s invasion of their country last year and support for Usyk (20-0, 13KOs) inside Tarczynski Arena, which can host up to 43,000 spectators for a boxing match, will be strong.

“He is going into the lion’s den and that is why the temperament will be spot on,” Warren pointed out at Bermondsey Boxing Club on Tuesday.

“We did try get it here. It went to purse bids in the end. We made an offer but they had 75 per cent of the purse bid as champion so that is why it is where it is at.”

A knee injury contributed towards Dubois going down three times in the opening round against South African southpaw Kevin Lerena, but a devastating upper-cut in round three secured the 19th win of his career.

“Yeah, what an ending to that one. I need to pull out something like that again,” Dubois told PA.

“For that fight, I didn’t get enough southpaw work, I was dropping my hands when I shouldn’t have been and not looking out for the right shot.

“But I feel like this time, I’ll be more aware of what is coming back at me.

“It is all about leading up to now. Those are the moments you need to call on to change history, change your life and here we are now.

“If I didn’t get through that, I wouldn’t be here, so it is all part of the journey.

“Camp has been very good. I went to Spain, was out in the mountains and I feel like I have come out a new man, lighter but stronger and ready to do the business.”

This won't go the distance

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.
