Daniel Dubois’ goal crashed Oleksandr Usyk’s moment after his win over Tyson Fury on Saturday night in Riyadh.
A request with bad weather
It was nasty and low for Dubois to crash Usyk’s party, interrupting him to be interviewed in his prime following his 12-round unanimous decision win over ‘The Gypsy King’ at the Kingdom Arena.
IBF heavyweight champion Dubois was able to enter the ring to use the spotlight to call for a rematch against WBA, WBC and WBO champion Usyk (23-0, 12 KOs), who knocked him out in the ninth round on August 26, 2023. , in Wroclaw, Poland.
Dubois could have waited until later to ask Usyk instead of stepping into the ring to face him. Usyk should have told him to take a hike and that he wanted to enjoy his win without someone trying to fight him.
It is premature for Dubois to ask Usyk for a fight as he still has a title defense against Joseph Parker on February 22nd in Riyadh. He needs to win this fight before he can focus on a unification against Usyk.
Usyk said he would accept Dubois’ wish for a rematch if Turki Alalshikh agreed to do the fight.
Post-fight showdown
Daniel Dubois: “Usyk, I want my revenge. Good tonight. I want my revenge for the robbery last time. Let’s get it. Let’s go,” Dubois said inside the ringshouting at unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk moments after his victory over Tyson Fury last Saturday night in Riyadh. “Frank (Warren), make it happen.”
Oleksandr Usyk: “Your Excellency, make me fight Daniel Dubois. thank you very much Yes, no problem. I’m ready Next fight, no problem.”
A rematch with Anthony Joshua would pay more for Usyk than a second fight with Dubois, who is not a big star outside of the UK. Either a rematch with Joshua or a trilogy with Fury would be a better fight for Usyk.
