“Carl Froch Shares Where Daniel Dubois Would Stand Among British Heavyweight Greats If He Defeats Oleksandr Usyk”

Former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch has revealed where he’ll rank Daniel Dubois compared to other British heavyweights, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, if he beats Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley on Saturday.

Dubois, 27, comes into the contest holding the IBF heavyweight title while the current unified heavyweight titleholder Usyk, 38, boasts the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine belts.

Wembley Stadium will be packed to the rafters by fans eagerly anticipating the intriguing bout this weekend. Of course, the pair previously went toe-to-toe in Wroclaw, Poland, in August 2023, with Usyk winning via knockout in round nine.

Almost two years on from the pair’s first clash, Dubois is a different beast. Since his defeat in Poland, the 27-year-old Londoner has defeated Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and most impressively stopped Joshua, 35, in round five of the all-British clash at Wembley last summer.

As for Usyk, he has beaten Fury twice since his last fight with Dubois and was his usual slick self in the ring during those bouts. But at 38, is he slowing down? We will find out on Saturday night.

Dubois will have to do something that no other man has done in Usyk’s 23 professional bouts and finish the contest as the victor.

And if he does win, in turn, he will have achieved something Fury and Joshua couldn’t despite sharing a ring with the 38-year-old on four combined occasions.

Ahead of the fight, Froch spoke to SPORTbible on behalf of casino.co.uk and explained where Dubois will rank on the list of all-time British heavyweight champions if he beats Usyk.

Froch said: “You’d have to put him right up there.

“You’ve got Lennox Lewis at number 1, then the likes of Tyson Fury, maybe AJ in there. Frank Bruno, Joe Bugner, Herbie Hide, Henry Cooper.

“You’ve got to go back years, so if you’re looking at what you consider to be the top British heavyweights in the last couple of generations, you’d put Lewis at 1, Fury at 2, and then you’d have AJ around the number 3 mark.

“If Dubois beats Usyk, after what Usyk did to both Fury and AJ, unless Usyk looked terrible and past his prime, if he gets beaten, he gets beaten. He’s still in form, lives the life and is looking good.

Daniel dubois

“With that in mind, you can make an argument for Dubois going in at number 2 ahead of Fury. On paper, you can make the case because Fury lost to Usyk twice.

“In reality, Fury has that trilogy with a prime Deontay Wilder in the book, plus the win over Klitschko in Germany.

“It’s a close second, but he definitely takes the number 3 spot from Anthony Joshua. Dubois is only 27, too, so he’s got plenty of time on his side.”

Few Days To Go Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2: John Fury Drops Ruthless Prediction That Will Leave Everyone Stunned

Daniel Dubois is preparing for the biggest night of his boxing career. On July 19, under the bright lights of Wembley Stadium and in front of a crowd of 70,000, he’ll get a second shot at Oleksandr Usyk in a highly anticipated heavyweight title rematch

It’s more than just a fight – it’s an opportunity to avenge a controversial defeat, claim the IBF belt, and cement his place in British boxing history. While Usyk enters as the defending champion and technical master, the narrative around this clash is shifting.

With nearly 11 years separating the two men in age, and after physically demanding bouts – especially his grueling contest with Tyson Fury – questions are emerging about how much Usyk has left in the tank.

And one voice adding fuel to that fire is John Fury, the father of heavyweight champ Tyson Fury and a figure not known for holding back his opinions.

Oleksandr Usyk

Dubois told it’s now or never

Speaking in a recent video shared by Seconds Out Live, John Fury offered a bold prediction: “He [Daniel Dubois] has every chance of it. You know, the man’s 38, 39 years old. He’s a big banger and he’s on a roll himself, isn’t he, Dubois?”

Fury went on to dissect Dubois’ last big performance, the knockout loss to Anthony Joshua. Rather than see it as a setback, Fury highlighted it as a sign of Dubois’ progress.

AJ ate him because it was touch and go in that fight, you know, until he landed that shot. I actually thought when AJ rushed in to get him, he’d get caught – he came in square on, his defenses weren’t tight, and he got careless. But up until then, it was anybody’s fight.”

For Fury, this rematch may come down to one simple factor-power: “Dubois has that knockout power. If he lands clean on a 38, 39-year-old Usyk – who’s had his tank emptied twice now by the Gypsy King – how much does he really have left? Is it the right time for Dubois? I think it is.”

oleksandr usyk

Barry McGuigan, former world champion and respected analyst, echoed similar sentiments. Though he believes Usyk’s superior footwork and ring IQ give him the edge over 12 rounds, McGuigan admitted that if Dubois connects, it could rewrite the story of modern heavyweight boxing.

“If Usyk gets hit clean by Dubois, the fight is over,” he said. He called the possibility of a Dubois knockout “the greatest victory in boxing.”

Legacy on the line

Dubois isn’t just fighting for redemption – he’s chasing greatness. If he defeats Usyk, he won’t just take the IBF belt. He will become the first British fighter in history to unify all four major heavyweight titles.

For a man who has endured public scrutiny and bounced back from adversity – including the disputed low-blow ruling that marred their first meeting – this is more than just personal revenge.

oleksandr usyk

His renewed energy is visible in his training, attitude, and the company he keeps. With John Fury lending his outspoken support and veterans like McGuigan giving him a shot, Dubois enters this bout with more than just momentum-he has belief.

Whether or not he can topple the technician in Usyk, one thing is certain: Daniel Dubois is not the same fighter who walked into their first meeting. And with the stakes this high, the world will be watching to see if youth, power, and hunger can finally overcome experience and finesse.

July 19 may not just crown a new champion – it could mark the beginning of a new heavyweight era.

Daniel Dubois: “People Still Doubt I’m the Real Deal, But They

Daniel Dubois: “People Still Doubt I’m the Real Deal, But They Won’t for Long”

Just hours before Daniel Dubois stunned the boxing world by knocking out Anthony Joshua in front of a roaring crowd of 96,000 at Wembley Stadium last September, he and his father, Stan, were quietly throwing a party at their Essex home.

Unbeknownst to them, the gathering wasn’t just a pre-fight ritual—it was a prophetic celebration of the seismic shift that was about to shake the heavyweight division. That night, Joshua was flattened, his legacy rattled, and months later, Tyson Fury would fail to reclaim his world titles from Oleksandr Usyk—cementing a new chapter in heavyweight history.

Now, the party plans are back in motion. This weekend, Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) prepares to run it back against Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) in a high-stakes rematch for the undisputed heavyweight crown—this time on home soil.

“We had a little celebration before the AJ fight,” Dubois told The Ring. “Music, food, good vibes. My dad brought some people around. We’re doing it again. Same energy. Just… less eating for me. Can’t go in the ring full,” he added with a smile.

Anthony joshua

But this time, there’s far more at stake than personal glory.

“Dubois becomes the first fighter to headline Wembley twice in succession”

With this bout, Dubois becomes the first fighter to headline Wembley twice in succession—a feat no one before him has achieved. If he wins, he doesn’t just reclaim respect—he takes the throne.

“This will be historic,” Dubois declares. “When I win at Wembley, it becomes mine. It used to be Joshua’s fortress—now it’s my kingdom. A lot of people still don’t see me as ‘The Man.’ But I will leave no doubt. This is my moment to stamp it. I am that guy.”

Their first meeting in Poland saw Dubois crumble under Usyk’s precision, a ninth-round TKO loss after a controversial low blow and mounting pressure. Questions swirled about Dubois’ heart and durability.

But with trainer Don Charles now fully in sync, that narrative has shifted. Some believe Usyk exaggerated the effects of Dubois’ fifth-round body shot—a moment Charles insists was legitimate.

Since that night, Dubois has gone on a ferocious tear—stopping Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and then Anthony Joshua, collecting the IBF belt vacated by Usyk along the way. Each battle hardened him for this night—the rematch of all rematches.

“The road led us right back here,” Dubois says. “To Usyk. To Wembley. To everything. It’s a full-circle moment. I’m ready to close the chapter and write a new one—with me at the top.”

Anthony joshua

“This fight is massive. It’s personal. It’s history. And this time… I’m not leaving it to chance. I’m going in to knock him out. No more talking. No more questions. It all ends here.”

Dubois has the tools. The power. The frame. And now, the experience. Whether that’s enough to dethrone the undefeated Usyk remains the question—but if Daniel Dubois has his way, there will be no denying who the new King of Wembley truly is.

Check out how you can catch the fight live from London’s Wembley Stadium

There’s not long to go now until boxing’s undefeated king, Oleksandr Usyk, and Daniel Dubois officially go head-to-head on Saturday, 19th July in London, England. The iconic Wembley Stadium will play host to the match, which has been brewing ever since Usyk completed back-to-back wins against the ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury. But can Dubois make up for his defeat from when they last met?

Ukrainian fighter Usyk beat the Brit when they last met in 2023 in a ninth-round knockout, which was dominated by a controversial low-blow punch from Dubois. With that all behind, though, Dubois has a second opportunity to put his demons and ‘what ifs?’ behind as he gets another shot at beating the undisputed fighter who holds the WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC belts.

Dubois also comes into the fight with the IBF title that Usyk vacated last year, allowing both fighters to leave with more belts than they arrived with. Amidst the Usyk vs Dubois 2 fight buzz, Tyson Fury announced that he intends to reverse his decision to retire from the boxing ring to pursue a trilogy with Usyk.

But, back to the fights and there’s an exciting undercard, including two title fights on the schedule, including Lawrence Okolie’s latest bout at heavyweight as he defends his WBC silver heavyweight title against former world champ Kevin Lerena.

There’s one thing for certain: it’s going to take some doing, as Usyk is one of the greatest fighters to have graced the ring in our time, with the stats backing him up all the way. If that has got you excited to witness some boxing history, then you don’t want to miss any of the action from one of the biggest fights of 2025.

‘He is 15 times better than, Former Daniel Dubois trainer’s interesting response to Tyson Fury callout

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.

Shane McGuigan says Daniel Dubois is ’15 times’ the fighter of Francis Ngannou in Tyson Fury callout response

Now, during Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight week, McGuigan was asked for his reaction to the comments about his former fighter.

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.

oleksandr usyk

“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.

Tyson fury

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.

Daniel Dubois Confirms Oleksandr Usyk Won’t Deny Him Rematch Revenge As He Plots to ‘Take Over’ the Heavyweight Division

Daniel Dubois Confirms Oleksandr Usyk Won’t Deny Him Rematch Revenge As He Plots to ‘Take Over’ the Heavyweight Division

Daniel Dubois has made it crystal clear — he’s not finished with Oleksandr Usyk just yet. The British heavyweight powerhouse has vowed to settle unfinished business with the unified world champion, insisting that the Ukrainian legend “won’t deny” him the opportunity for rematch revenge. Still only 26, Dubois is carving out a redemptive path back to the top and is determined to seize his moment, not only to rewrite the past — but to “take over” the heavyweight division.

A Painful Chapter Left Unfinished

Their first clash in August 2023 ended in bitter disappointment for Dubois. While Usyk retained his WBA, WBO, and IBF titles via ninth-round stoppage, controversy swirled around the fifth round when Dubois landed a shot deemed a low blow. Many observers — including Dubois and his team — insisted the punch was legal and should have resulted in a knockdown. Instead, Usyk was given time to recover, and the momentum slipped through Dubois’ fingers.

Though he lost that night, Dubois didn’t lose his hunger. Instead, the defeat has become a source of fuel for a fighter who now sees his heavyweight journey as a mission of vengeance and redemption.

“He Won’t Be Able to Run Forever”

In a bold new statement, Dubois confirmed his unwavering pursuit of the Usyk rematch.

“He knows I’m coming back for him. Usyk won’t be able to run forever. That fight ended in controversy, and the fans know it. I deserve my shot at revenge — and I’m going to get it.”

Dubois’ determination isn’t mere talk. Since the Usyk fight, he has returned to the gym with renewed discipline, working under a revitalized training regime and sharpening the aggressive style that once made him one of the most feared young fighters in the sport.

Climbing Back to Contention

Dubois understands the politics of boxing, and he knows he must earn his way back into title contention. The London-born bruiser has set his sights on facing top contenders, aiming to blast his way back into the mandatory challenger spot. With a number of exciting matchups on the horizon — including potential bouts against the likes of Zhilei Zhang, Joseph Parker, or Filip Hrgović — Dubois is ready to test himself again on the biggest stages.

“This isn’t just about one fight. This is about taking over the whole division,” he said. “I’m coming back stronger, faster, and more dangerous than ever. Every fight from here on is a statement.”

A New Era for Dubois

There’s a clear shift in Dubois’ tone. Once labeled a raw talent with suspect stamina, he now speaks like a man on a mission. Working closely with a new coaching team focused on mental fortitude and tactical awareness, Dubois is embracing the lessons from his past rather than shying away from them.

“Every fighter has a setback. What matters is how you come back. And I’m coming back to rule,” he stated confidently.

Fans and critics alike have noted the mental evolution in Dubois — a maturity that wasn’t always visible in his earlier fights. While his physical tools have never been in doubt, it’s his growing mental toughness and ring intelligence that could now unlock the next level of his potential.

The Heavyweight Landscape: Ready for Disruption

The heavyweight division is currently in a state of flux. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are locked in a rivalry that has defined the undisputed championship era, while Anthony Joshua is mounting a comeback of his own. New threats like Jared Anderson, Arslanbek Makhmudov, and Frank Sanchez are also making waves.

But Dubois sees a lane for himself — one built not only on raw power, but on a sense of unfinished destiny. He believes that avenging his loss to Usyk will mark the beginning of a new reign — one in which he becomes the man to beat.

 Joe Rogan Leaks The Biggest Insane Pay Ever For Oleksandr Usyk & Daniel Dubois Will Make For Boxing Rematch

UFC commentator and world-renowned podcaster, Joe Rogan, has leaked the extraordinary wad of cash Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are set to receive for their upcoming heavyweight boxing fight.

Usyk and Dubois fought once before, with the Brit famously dropping the unbeaten two-weight champion with a body shot that the referee adjudged to have been too low of a blow to count as a knockdown, before Usyk, who had a timeout to recover, rallied and won via ninth-round stoppage in 2023

Since then, Usyk has won back-to-back bouts against Tyson Fury, while Dubois enjoyed an incredible resurgence thanks to briliant wins over Filip Hrgovic, Jarrell Miller, and Anthony Joshua.

Their rematch takes place on the 19th of July at Wembley Stadium in London and both fighters will bring their respective world titles to the ring in an undisputed championship fight. While the pay was always expected to be high, Rogan’s comments underline just how handsomely the elite in boxing get rewarded for their talents.

Rogan leaked the pay during a conversation with UFC stars Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.

“Bro, did you see the numbers that Usyk and Dubois are getting?” Rogan said.

He then revealed that Usyk stands to pocket $132 million, while Dubois will take $71 million to the bank, with both payments totaling $199 million — $1 million shy of previously-reported figures suggesting both fighters, combined, were always expected to make $200 million. It’s unclear, exactly, where Rogan has seen the breakdown.

Anthony joshua

“$132 million! $132 million and $71 million!”

“Yeah, look at the numbers. $132 million and $71 million. Yo! Yo, that’s crazy! Numbers for purses.”

The figures, if accurate, dwarf the pay that UFC fighters receive as champions as they rarely make eight figures, let alone nine. However, for boxing’s biggest bouts, we’ve seen time and again that there are boxers who command insane purses.

GIVE ME SPORT understands, for example, that Top Rank fighter Tyson Fury made more than $200 million for two Riyadh Season fights.

Floyd Mayweather made more than $200 million on two separate occasions in his career — against Manny Pacquiao, and Conor McGregor.

Can’t Be Him But I Will Comeback For One Man But It’s Not Anthony Joshua – Tyson Fury Announces

Tyson Fury announced an abrupt retirement from boxing back in January. It came following two fights against Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, where ‘The Gypsy King’ came up short in both of them. The first was in May of that year, where Fury lost his WBC heavyweight title as Usyk won by split decision to become undisputed heavyweight champion.

They then met again in December, with Usyk winning by unanimous decision on this occasion, the only two times in Fury’s career where he has tasted defeat.

It was expected that the Morecambe man would then head into a domestic showdown with Anthony Joshua before Fury’s decision to hang up his gloves brought those plans to an end.

There has been constant speculation that ‘The Gypsy King’ will return for the fight, however he has now revealed in a media scrum that the only fight he would motivate him to comeback is a trilogy against Usyk.

“If I was going to come back I’d come back for Usyk. In England. That’s the one I want immediately, that would be the fight I want next. In England for sure.”

Tyson fury

Fury also explained how he still disagrees with the outcome of the fight with Usyk in December.

“My last fight was a clear f**king victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs**t.

“I want a fair fight, I don’t want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn’t [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it’s Tueaday it’s Tuesday.”

Usyk returns later this month when he defends his titles against IBF champion Daniel Dubois, with a third bout against Fury looking unlikely for now. However, the Ukrainian has said he would be open to the trilogy.

It Called For Rematch As: Eddie Hearn Makes His “Incredible Momentum”Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois Rematch Prediction

Eddie Hearn: Oleksandr Usyk‘s rematch with Daniel Dubois is less than a month away, and promoter Eddie Hearn has given insight into how he thinks it will play out.

Dubois and Usyk first faced off back in August 2023. Usyk was put with a shot that was ruled low, given time to recover and went on to stop the Brit in the ninth round.

Since then he has twice beaten Tyson Fury to become undisputed ruler before dropping the IBF belt to honour the rematch. Dubois has fought three times and won by stoppage on each occasion, elevated to IBF Champion after beating Filip Hrgovic and then defending that status against former two time ruler Anthony Joshua.

Speaking to DAZN Boxing, Hearn outlined where Dubois is at right now in his career.

“It’s a great fight. For Dubois, the inactivity, missing out on the Joseph Parker fight might hurt him a little bit. The momentum for Dubois has been incredible. He beat Miller, he beat Hrgovic, he beat Joshua.

“But it will be 10 months out of the ring. I still think he will have the confidence, but he could have done with that fight, or maybe this fight three months ago. When they fought last time I don’t think that was the best Usyk by any stretch, but I also don’t think it was the Daniel Dubois we have now.

READ MORE : For Many Years: Anthony Joshua Delivers Honest Verdict On

“At that stage, he went to Poland and gave Usyk a decent fight. He didn’t win many rounds but he gave him a good fight, and obviously the controversial low blow as well. Now I think Dubois has a lot more confidence. “

He then broke down his chances of taking the win.

Eddie Earn

“The reality is it’s for the undisputed heavyweight world championship. You know, Daniel Dubois could be the undisputed world heavyweight champion. I don’t think he will be, but he can punch and he is strong.

“When you fight Usyk, people say the bigger man has got to be more dominant and push him back and that is what everyone said about ‘AJ’, but it’s not that easy. Look at the size of ‘AJ’, look at the size of Tyson Fury. They weren’t able to get on the front foot, beat him up and push him back. Can Daniel Dubois do it? Probably not, but he’s young, heavy-handed and confident, and he’s in the fight.”

If Usyk wins on July 19 at Wembley Stadium, he will be a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion – three time in total having won all the belts at cruiserweight – with little left to achieve in the sport. Dubois, of course, wants to end his career without letting him achieve that historic feat.
