Daniel Dubois, despite having a tough opponent in Joseph Parker on the horizon, is clear that he wants to unify his heavyweight belt with the three Oleksandr Usyk is in possession of.
Should things play out that way it would be the second time the two champions have faced off. Dubois travelled to Poland back in 2023 to challenge Usyk for the WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
He thought he found some success in the fifth round when the Ukrainian hit the deck, but the shot was immediately ruled to be a low blow and the champion was given ample time to recover before fighting on and taking back control.
Usyk would drop Dubois in the eighth and finish the job in the ninth, with many questioning the young Brit’s grit when he failed to stand to make the referee’s count.
