Dubois Eyes Usyk Trilogy After Dominating Wardley: 'We're Coming Out on Top!'
Summary
Daniel Dubois, the WBO heavyweight world champion, expressed confidence in a potential trilogy fight against Oleksandr Usyk, believing he could finally secure a victory after two previous losses. Dubois faced Usyk twice, suffering stoppage defeats in both encounters, but feels he has now reached a new level following a dominant two-round victory over Fabio Wardley in their rematch on Saturday.
In his post-fight remarks, Dubois asserted that no heavyweight could withstand the power he displayed against Wardley, emphasizing, "Fabio's got a great chin... I was going through him." He eagerly called for the next challenge, stating, "I want to know who's next!"
Dubois welcomed the idea of a trilogy with Usyk, stating, "Definitely, definitely, I'd love that. We're coming out on top this time. We've made our mistakes and we're coming out on top." Promoter Frank Warren echoed Dubois' sentiments, noting that he has transformed into a different fighter over the past year, becoming a formidable puncher who poses a significant threat in the ring.
With Usyk vacating his titles, Dubois claimed the WBO belt, while Filip Hrgovic and Agit Kabayel also secured championships. Looking ahead, Dubois aims to add more titles to his collection, expressing willingness to fight whoever is next in line, particularly if the financial incentives are appealing.
Warren anticipates a wave of heavyweight unifications in the coming year, projecting that a new undisputed champion could emerge within 18 months. He highlighted upcoming fights involving top heavyweights, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, which could set the stage for exciting matchups in the heavyweight division. Dubois is determined to pursue all four belts, promising an exhilarating future for heavyweight boxing.
