John Fury's Advice for Dubois for the Usyk Vs Dubois Bout
John Fury, the father of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, had suggestions for Dubois for the Usyk Vs Dubois bout and has provided some strategic advice for Daniel Dubois ahead of his upcoming unified title challenge against Oleksandr Usyk. While there were previous talks of Tyson Fury facing Usyk in an undisputed clash, those negotiations fell through, leading to Usyk's decision to take on his WBA mandatory challenger, Daniel Dubois. John Fury expressed his belief that Usyk's team made a mistake in not accepting the fight with Tyson, and he sees an opportunity for Dubois to cause an upset in the Usyk Vs Dubois. He believes that Dubois, being an 18-stone, six-foot-five heavyweight with knockout power, has a chance to defeat Usyk. According to John Fury, the key to victory for Dubois lies in having the right tactics and game plan, as well as showing courage and determination during the fight. He emphasizes that trying to outbox Usyk would be a mistake, as Usyk's skills are best suited for that style of fight. Instead, Fury advises Dubois to be aggressive, use his size advantage, and deliver sustained, powerful attacks to overcome Usyk in the Usyk Vs Dubois.
“Daniel Dubois can knock him out, so Usyk has dropped a clanger [by not accepting Fury fight]. Going up against an eighteen stone, six-foot-five heavyweight, who can punch, for peanuts compared to what he would get against Tyson? I don’t know where they [Usyk’s team] are going with that. Craziness.” “They’ve [Dubois’ team] have got to have the right tactics, the right game plan and some b***ocks. That’s all that’s needed to take the cruiserweight down. But, if you try and box him, you are playing into his hands, fighting his fight. You’ve got to get rough and tough with him and you have got to be able to sustain attacks and then you beat Usyk, easy.” “Without sustained, two-phased attacks, power shots and bullying him, using your size, forget about it. If you’re going to try and out-jab him, a cruiserweight, forget about it, you’ve got to hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and keep it going.”The highly-anticipated Usyk Vs Dubois match is scheduled for August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland. UK viewers can watch it live on TNT Sports pay-per-view, while US viewers can tune in on ESPN+.
