Dubois Boasts Will Beat Fury Or Usyk

JAKARTA Daniel Dubois, the holder of the IBF belt, boasts that he will beat Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk to become the next undisputed heavyweight world champion in history.

The 27-year-old British fighter is scheduled to enter the ring to guard his title against New Zealand champion Joseph Parker, on February 22, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Dubois had to aim for a win from the duel to prepare for his next fight against Fury or Usyk. Clashes with one of the two names will bring together the four main heavyweight world title belts.

"I will come to take their belt! Of course. They are top fighters and I want them. I want them all," he gave the names a warning, quoted by Sky Sport.

Fury and Usyk will enter the ring for volume II clashes on December 21, 2024 in Saudi Arabia. Usyk previously defeated Fury in May 2024 to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis last held in 1999.

Usyk, who is undisputed in cruiserweight and heavyweight, will try to keep the remaining three major heavyweight titles after previously emptying the IBF belt now held by Dubois.

The winner of Fury and Usyk's duel is then likely to undergo an unification duel against Dubois. Thus, Dubois could become the undisputed world champion if he brings together the four titles.

"Yes, indeed, but I will not ignore Parker. He will fight as hard as I can."

"Never ignore anyone. Overcome him first, then he can move on to the duel (against Fury or Usyk)," said Dubois.

The IBF may not have disappeared from Usyk's collection if he wants to have a mandatory fight against Dubois. However, he prioritized the rematch with Fury so he had to vacate the title.

Dubois then won the IBF heavyweight title vacated by Usyk and defended his belt with a stunning victory over Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September 2024.

If later the duel with Usyk then it is Dubois' opportunity to take revenge. He had previously lost once against the Ukrainian champion in August 2023.

As for Fury, Dubois has never shared a ring. If everything goes according to the scenario then the fight between Dubois and Fury or Usyk is expected to take place at the end of next year.
