Daniel Dubois Eyes Tyson Fury Fight After Usyk

Daniel Dubois Eyes Tyson Fury Showdown After Oleksandr Usyk Clash
British heavyweight boxer Daniel Dubois has his sights set on two of the biggest names in boxing: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. While his next bout is against the reigning heavyweight champion Usyk, Dubois is already looking ahead to what could be the biggest fight of his career — a showdown with fellow Brit Fury.
Big Dreams, Bigger Challenges
Dubois’s confidence is sky-high. And why shouldn’t it be? He’s been building momentum and believes it's only a matter of time before he wears the heavyweight crown.
“I believe Tyson Fury’s definitely coming back,” Dubois said recently. “When I beat Usyk, I’ll fight him next.”
This might sound bold, but in the world of boxing, ambition is everything. The ring rewards the hungry — and Dubois is clearly starving for greatness.
Climbing the Heavyweight Ladder
Now, let’s take a step back. Who is Daniel Dubois, and how did he get to this point?
At just 26 years old, Dubois has already made waves in the heavyweight division thanks to his explosive power and determined spirit. He stepped into the professional ring in 2017, and since then, his reputation has grown rapidly. Known for his knockout power, he quickly earned the nickname "Dynamite."
Here’s why fans and pundits are paying close attention to him:
- KO Power: Out of his many victories, most have come through devastating knockouts.
- Youth on His Side: At 26, he's still developing physically and mentally — a dangerous combo in the heavyweight game.
- Heavyweight Resume: With each fight, he's gaining experience against higher-ranked opponents.
But What About Usyk?
Before dreams of Fury can become a reality, Dubois has to get through a major test — Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk isn't just any opponent. He’s an Olympic gold medalist, an undefeated professional, and the current unified heavyweight champion. He moved up from the cruiserweight division and has already defeated elite fighters like Anthony Joshua — twice.
So, can Dubois pull off the upset? That’s the million-dollar question.
Tyson Fury Still a Target
Tyson Fury, known as “The Gypsy King,” has taken an unpredictable path lately. While some rumors suggest retirement, fans and fighters alike believe he’s not done yet.
Dubois definitely doesn’t think Fury is hanging up the gloves anytime soon.
“I feel he will return,” Dubois said. “This is boxing. Nobody really stays retired for long.”
And he's got a point — how many boxers have retired, only to come back for one more big fight? Just ask Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, or even Tyson Fury himself.
Dubois sees himself as the next natural opponent for Fury if he manages to defeat Usyk. With both being British fighters, the potential for a future “Battle of Britain” is huge.
What Could a Dubois vs. Fury Fight Look Like?
Let’s imagine — for just a moment — what a Daniel Dubois vs. Tyson Fury fight would look like.
- Power vs. Precision: Dubois has raw knockout strength, while Fury relies on skill, movement, and ring IQ.
- Youth vs. Experience: Dubois is younger and fresher, while Fury has been in the ring with the best of the best.
- Fireworks Guaranteed: Both fighters come to entertain. You can bet the fans would be in for a thrilling show.
The lead-up to the fight would be electric, with plenty of back-and-forth from both camps. This isn’t just fantasy — it's a fight fans are already buzzing about.
Why Dubois vs. Fury Matters for British Boxing
British boxing has always had a rich history — from Lennox Lewis to Frank Bruno and Anthony Joshua. A fight between Dubois and Fury wouldn't just be another bout — it’d be a legacy-defining event for both.
It would also do wonders for the UK boxing scene, bringing attention and excitement back into the heavyweight division. Think Wembley Stadium packed, pay-per-view numbers soaring, and fans watching from all over the world.
Overcoming Adversity: Dubois’s Journey
It hasn't all been smooth sailing for Dubois. He suffered a tough defeat to Joe Joyce in 2020, a fight that left him with a fractured eye socket and heavy criticism. Some questioned his toughness and heart.
But like any true fighter, Dubois didn’t stay down for long. He came back stronger, more focused, and determined to prove the doubters wrong. That resilience could be the key to getting past someone as skilled as Usyk — and eventually, someone as savvy as Fury.
And isn’t that what we love most about sports? The comebacks. The moments when someone writes off an athlete, only to see them rise again.
What’s Next for Daniel Dubois?
Up first: a career-defining bout with Oleksandr Usyk. If Dubois wants to become a world champion, this is the fight that could make or break that dream.
If — and it’s still a big "if" — he walks away victorious, expect him to go straight for Tyson Fury. Dubois has made that ambition clear. One thing’s for sure: he’s not afraid to aim high.
Final Thoughts: Can Dubois Take Over the Heavyweight Division?
Dubois isn't here to just participate — he wants to dominate. He’s already talking about unifying the division and becoming one of the faces of modern boxing.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, he needs to get past Usyk — a task easier said than done. Only after that can we begin to dream about a blockbuster clash with Fury.
What do you think? Can Daniel Dubois pull off the upset and then take on Tyson Fury? Or is this dream a step too far for a fighter still finding his feet at the very top level?
One thing is certain: the heavyweight division just got a lot more exciting.
