Backing Dubois
And here’s who is expecting Daniel Dubois to shock the world.
Could the Brit become an undisputed heavyweight champion?
Spencer OliverĀ thinks so, telling talkSPORT: “I know Daniel Dubois, I have seen him work and know what they are working on tactically.
“They seemed quite far apart in 2023, Usyk was leagues apart from Dubois then.
“But he [Usyk] has not got much better since fighting Dubois, there is a lot of miles on the clock since then.
“There is no sign of deterioration, but Dubois is a different animal and a different character since that first fight.
“The two fights with Fury have put miles on the clock with Usyk, but Dubois has improved dramatically physically and mentally since then.
“This is a completely different fight since the first one, I’m tipping Dubois.”
talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan stated: “I said it to Oleksandr Usyk, and there is no favouritism here, but I think that it is Daniel Dubois’ time.
“He is a ferocious beast and I think he deserves all the plaudits…
“I think he has to get it done inside the distance, I think it is unlikely he will win on points.”
And Dave AllenĀ told us: “I don’t think he [Usyk] is a heavyweight. I still think he can do cruiserweight still now.
“I think it is all about timing. Daniel Dubois is getting better and better all the time and I think this is the right time for Daniel Dubois to beat Usyk.”
