The former Daniel Dubois trainer, Shane McGuigan, has responded to Tyson Fury’s callout of the young heavyweight.
Dubois is preparing to face Oleksandr Usyk for the chance at becoming undisputed champion on July 19th.

In the interview, he said: “I mean, I don’t know if that is a true comment or not, let’s put it this way, Daniel Dubois is 15 times the fighter Francis Ngannou is.
“I know he might not have been up for it, but in terms of athleticism, that will to win, and he has got a boxing background, he is schooled, he is not like Ngannou.”
The 36-year-old famously won a narrow split decision over the former UFC champion in October 2023.
McGuigan explained: “Styles make fights, he is right, styles make fights in the sense he will cause Daniel a lot of problems, whether he can hold up to that punching power, I am not sure.
“And I think he definitely has the potential to beat Tyson, I don’t think Tyson is at his best anymore, Daniel Dubois is fresher.”

Oleksandr Usyk wants one more fight after Dubois, then retirement
It looks likely that the Ukrainian will hang up the gloves soon, but maybe he should retire after the Dubois clash.
However, this is not on the mind of the Olympic gold medallist just yet if he overcomes the Londoner.
Speaking in an interview earlier this year, he said: “Now my goal is to become a three-time undisputed. Listen, I love boxing, training hard.
“I guess it’s my last two fights, with Dubois and next, I don’t know who. I’ll talk to you after this fight, it’s my life.”
If he does, he will follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman, Vasiliy Lomachenko, as a fan favourite and legend of the game.
But his attention is firmly set on the tall task of a big punching heavyweight in the form of his life, which is never an easy ask.
