'Daniel is a young boy, Anthony is the better boxer' - Says Oleksandr Usyk to the Face of Daniel Dubois before Usyk vs Dubois Showdown
Oleksandr Usyk's consecutive victories over Anthony Joshua solidified his standing as one of boxing's premier fighters. These wins also conveyed a clear message to the heavyweight division: despite his smaller size, Usyk is not an easy opponent to defeat. Next in line to take on this challenge is Daniel Dubois, a compatriot of Joshua. Dubois will travel to Wroclaw Stadium in Poland this weekend to face the unified heavyweight world champion for Usyk vs Dubois bout. During a recent feature on TNT Sport, Usyk explained to Dubois why he regards Anthony Joshua as a superior boxer compared to him. Usyk noted Joshua's Olympic champion and two-time world champion status, highlighting his extensive accomplishments. Usyk also acknowledged that Daniel Dubois is still a young boxer in comparison.
“Anthony Joshua was an olympic champion and a two time world champion. Daniel is a young boy.” “Anthony is the better boxer.”Many experts believe that Dubois needs to utilize his physical advantages in the Usyk vs Dubois in the same way Joshua struggled to do in his fights against Usyk. However, this is a challenging task. Usyk is widely recognized as the most technically skilled fighter in the heavyweight division, having encountered various approaches both in his professional career and his extensive amateur background. This upcoming Usyk vs Dubois fight represents the toughest challenge in Dubois' 20-fight career thus far. A victory for him would reverberate throughout the boxing world, surprising many. Dubois parted ways with Shane McGuigan during the negotiation process for this Usyk vs Dubois fight. As a result, veteran coach Don Charles will be guiding the 25-year-old Dubois from his corner in this weekend's match.
