The previous world champion is focusing on a trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk, quite than a long-awaited all-British battle with Anthony Joshua. However London’s Daniel Dubois is satisfied that, if can defeat the Ukrainian, he shall be heading in the right direction for a conflict with Fury himself.

“Certainly,” Dubois informed Sky Sports activities. “That’s a good position to be in. To be the man. You’ve got to come to me for all the belts if you want to be making some money and being in big-time boxing. It’s a good position.

“For certain, the longer term’s shiny, when the heavyweight division is wholesome, enterprise is sweet.

“It’ll be like a bringing of a new era. The old guys sort of fading out and a new crop coming through.”

Usyk gained their first bout when he halted Dubois inside 9 rounds in 2023. Though Usyk has by no means misplaced an expert bout, and has overwhelmed Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua (twice) and Tyson Fury (twice) alongside the best way, Dubois is adamant that he now is aware of the best way to beat him.

“I’ll give him a real fight this time. That’s all I’ve got to say,” Dubois mentioned. “We’ll have a game plan on the night. We’ve gone over it and ready to execute it now. We’ve got it all covered, I think.

“I do not attempt to look again an excessive amount of as a result of we’re going ahead in life. I am a person of the longer term.

“Those two fights against Fury, those were definitely his moments. He’s got wear and tear, he’s been around a while.”

“I would like to ensure it will be a passing of the torch. I am the brand new recent fighter, I am the younger lion and that is my time.”

Itauma within the combine?

Usyk, a small, quick southpaw who has proved to be peerless within the heavyweight division, is a tough opponent to copy in coaching.

Moses Itauma, an electrical heavyweight prospect from the UK, shouldn’t be small, however he’s a wickedly fast southpaw. Dubois although has not been sparring with him in his coaching camp.

“Not a lot of fighters can [replicate Usyk], I don’t think, even southpaws, but we’ve got alright sparring, we’ve got alright work and sparring, everything combined is going to get me in the right place,” Dubois mentioned.

“We’ve got guys like [Itauma] anyway, similar guys, similar fighters, so I think we’re covered.”

“Yeah, possibly yeah, that’s what the game’s about. But I’m focused, tunnel vision on what I’ve got to do. First things first,” Dubois mentioned.

“I’m going to win all the titles that’s the next step.”
