Daniel Dubois is prioritizing a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk following his upcoming fight with Joseph Parker.
Daniel Dubois is currently due for a Feb. 22 fight against Joseph Parker, and although there’s been speculation about another potential rematch between Dubois and Anthony Joshua, Dubois’ promoter Frank Warren tells Sky Sports that they actually prefer a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
“The big fight that he wants is the rematch with Usyk. Very controversial [first] fight. Those four minutes in that fight when he hurt him – I thought it was a legal blow, I’m not going to go into all that stuff – but he hurt him and he probably gave him his toughest fight he’s had. I think he can beat him. I think the form he’s in now, I think he can beat Usyk.”
A win over Usyk could potentially have Dubois go undisputed at heavyweight and that’s the main goal and priority. Warren continues by saying that Dubois has reached his physical prime combined with an increase in maturity since his loss to Usyk and that’s why he’s confident things will go differently in a rematch.
For now, however, Warren doesn’t dismiss the threat that Parker poses and says that won’t be an easy fight for Dubois, even though he expects it to be a fight that Dubois prevails in.
