Daniel Dubois Targets a Specific Opponent for his Return to a World Title Shot
Daniel Dubois is eyeing a path back to a world title shot after his impressive victory against Jarrell Miller. His trainer, Don Charles, revealed the desired opponent for Dubois' next fight, aiming to reclaim the WBA Regular belt he lost to Oleksandr Usyk. Charles mentioned Manuel Charr as the current holder of the WBA Regular belt, which Dubois previously held. In an exclusive interview with TalkSport, Daniel Dubois' trainer, Don Charles, has unveiled their strategic plan for the British boxer's return to the world title scene. After an impressive victory over Jarrell Miller, Dubois, and his team are eyeing a specific opponent to pave the way for a second world title shot. Charles expressed his desire for Dubois to reclaim the WBA Regular belt, a title the British boxer previously held before his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in his maiden world title challenge. The current WBA Regular Champion is Manuel Charr, who was awarded the belt without winning it in the ring, according to Charles. "I have already mentioned this name, but Manuel Charr is the current holder of the WBA Regular belt, which is the belt that Daniel Dubois had before he fought Usyk. To my surprise, the WBA took that belt off of Daniel Dubois and awarded it to Manuel Charr; he didn’t actually win it in the ring. Obviously, I have got to speak to Frank [Warren], but that is the fight that I would actually like for Daniel, to get that belt back," Charles stated, highlighting the need for discussions with promoter Frank Warren. Charr, who didn't compete in 2023, finds himself in a favorable position with the WBA, making him a potential contender for the world title. The winner of the Fury-Usyk bout will eventually have to face Charr or vacate the full WBA (Super) title. Despite the long wait for the WBA's mandatory call, Charr may opt to defend his belt against potential challengers. Having called out notable British heavyweights like Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Derek Chisora, Charr now faces the prospect of a showdown with 'Diamond Boy' Daniel Dubois. If all goes according to plan, this matchup could be the key to Dubois' journey back to championship glory, pending discussions with promoter Frank Warren. #boxing #DanielDubois #ManuelCharr #boxingnews
