David Price's Predictions and Expectations on Usyk Vs Dubois
Former heavyweight contender David Price has shared his prediction for the upcoming Usyk Vs Dubois title fight. The highly-anticipated bout is set to take place in Wroclaw, Poland, on August 26, and it represents a significant challenge for Dubois in his career. Price, who faced formidable opponents like Alexander Povetkin and Derek Chisora during his own boxing career, believes that Usyk's skills and mobility will be too much for Dubois to handle. Despite Dubois' impressive comeback after being stopped by Joe Joyce in 2020, Price doesn't see him being able to land clean and often on the skilled Ukrainian southpaw.
“I can’t see it no. I can’t see it. I think Usyk will find it too easy to land on Daniel Dubois. Again he’s another where his attack is the best form of defence but I don’t think he’ll have what it takes to land clean and often on Usyk.”According to Price, Usyk's superior movement and activity in the ring will likely lead to him landing more frequently on Dubois in the Usyk Vs Dubois bout, possibly leading to a late stoppage. While acknowledging that it's a massive opportunity for Dubois, Price believes Usyk is on another level and continues to improve as a fighter. Price wishes Dubois luck and encourages him to give his all in the Usyk Vs Dubois bout, regardless of the outcome. He emphasizes that as long as Dubois goes into the ring and performs to the best of his abilities, he will come out a winner.
“Usyk’s too busy, too mobile, and I think he’ll land too often on Dubois and I think he’ll probably stop him late. It’s a massive opportunity for the lad and he’s done great to come back from where was with Joe Joyce fight, but Usyk’s the next level and we haven’t seen anything that he’s starting to fade or get old or water, he’s betting better all the time. Win, lose or draw, so long as [Dubois] goes into that fight and comes out knowing he’s given everything and performed he’ll come out a winner no matter what. Good luck to him.”The Usyk Vs Dubois fight will be available for viewers in the UK on TNT Sports Box Office (formerly BT Sport) and on ESPN+ in the US. Boxing fans around the world are eagerly anticipating this clash of two talented heavyweights.
