Rematch: Tyson Fury theory emerges as Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois rematch revenge prediction made 

Spencer Oliver believes Daniel Dubois will beat Oleksandr Usyk because of the champion’s gruelling bouts with Tyson Fury.

Dubois first faced Usyk in a controversial clash in 2023 where he dropped the Ukrainian with a low blow, but was subsequently stopped.

Since then, the Briton has been on a hot streak and has earned a rematch on July 19 at Wembley Stadium with the undisputed world titles on the line.

Usyk since then has beaten fellow divisional top dog Tyson Fury twice in two 12-round slug fests, and is an overwhelming favourite to beat Dubois once again.

But talkSPORT boxing expert and former European champion Oliver expects Usyk to have lost an edge following his tussles with Fury.

He explained on the latest episode of talkBOXING: “Daniel Dubois beats Oleksandr Usyk.

“I know Daniel Dubois, I have seen him work and know what they are working on tactically.

“They seemed quite far apart in 2023, Usyk was leagues apart from Dubois then.

“But he [Usyk] has not got much better since fighting Dubois, there is a lot of miles on the clock since then.

“The two fights with Fury have put miles on the clock with Usyk, but Dubois has improved dramatically physically and mentally since then.

“This is a completely different fight since the first one, I’m tipping Dubois.”

Dubois has three impressive victories since his defeat to Usyk, which began by beating Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller.

And in a career-best display, ‘Dynamite’ beat Anthony Joshua with an emphatic KO in September 2024 to galvanise his career.

A world champion and brimming with confidence, Dubois knows what it takes on the big stage and is fuelled by anguish from their previous controversy.

But Usyk is unbeaten and has dismantled a whole resume filled with top talent and gifted operators.

“I’ve changed. I’ve learn from that,” Dubois told talkSPORT.com.

“There were a lot of things going into that fight. I’ve learnt from it now. I’m going to put it right.

“There’s been a lot of pain from what happened last time. So I want to get my revenge.

“I’m nailing him to the canvas this time.

“When I close my eyes, I see a spectacular win, a spectacular knockout.”

£218,000 Per DAY: Gypsy King Tyson Fury’s staggering 9-figure fortune revealed as Gypsy King, 36, banks £218k PER DAY

Tyson Fury: Former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is earning a staggering £218,000 a day. The 36-year-old’s private company, which he uses to manage his earnings, boasts assets exceeding £160million. Tyson Fury Limited reported an impressive profit of £79million between September 2023 and last September, according to recently filed accounts. Its net worth has nearly doubled from the previous year’s £82million, according to The Mirror.

Fury, who lists his profession as “professional boxer”, is the sole director of the company. The accounts reveal a dividend payment of £100,000 to Fury, which is £50,000 less than what he paid himself the previous year. The business does not report any turnover on Companies House, so it remains unclear how much revenue it generated. The company’s operations are listed as “other letting and operating of own or leased real estate, public relations and communications activities, as well as other sports activities.”

Father-of-seven Fury established his company in 2013, and the twelve-month period covered by the accounts predates his retirement following his December 2024 defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. However, it does include his loss to the towering Ukrainian last June, where he lost his heavyweight title.

The two boxers shared a jaw-dropping £150 million for their December bout in Saudi Arabia, which Fury lost on points. While the fighter is not in a hurry to return to the ring, he remains bitter about the result.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman recently said: “I call him regularly and he said: ‘Oh I’m so happy, retired, I’m here with my wife.’ He didn’t hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back.

“He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk. He’s still very bitter about the judges’ scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that’s what he said.”

The Gypsy King, as Fury is affectionately known, resides with his family in a sprawling £1.7m Morecambe mansion.

Fury’s taste for the finer things is evident with a collection of luxury motors, including two Rolls-Royces at £384,000 apiece, alongside a flashy red Ferrari Portofino and a high-speed £200,000 Porsche GT3 RS, yet maintains a nod to modesty with a £20,000 Vauxhall Passat and a Mini Cooper.

Adorned with lavish Rolex watches, his wrist game also features a Richard Mille RM 011 Flyback Chronograph valued over £100,000 and a £90,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph. Known for flaunting designer gear, from Louis Vuitton to Gianni Versace, Fury doesn’t shy from showing off his swag on Instagram.

Married to his teenage love Paris, the pair tied the knot in 2008. Growing up in caravans and leaving school after primary education, Tyson and Paris maintain deep roots in the traveller community, reflecting the boxing icon’s robust pride in his heritage.

The Gypsy King, Tyson Fury ‘still very bitter and upset’ about Oleskandr Usyk fight, reveals WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman

Tyson Fury: WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has claimed Tyson Fury is still bitter about his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 36, lost his high-profile rematch with Usyk by unanimous decision last December – a defeat that saw him announce his retirement for the fifth time.

The Gypsy King has claimed he is happy hanging up his gloves and spending some much needed time with his family after years of battling in the ring.

But WBC president Sulaiman, who has been in regular contact with the Brit fighter, claims that Fury is still holding on to his second defeat to Usyk.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Sulaiman said: “I call him regularly and he said: ‘Oh I’m so happy, retired, I’m here with my wife.’

“He didn’t hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back.

“He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk.

” He’s still very bitter about the judges’ scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that’s what he said.”

All three judges scored the Riyadh bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favour, securing an impressive double for the Ukrainian.

Fury announced his retirement in January, but fans have been skeptical of whether or not the decision is final.

That’s because Fury has retired and returned to the sport FOUR TIMES before.

He added: “Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we’ll hear him say: ‘Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!’ We don’t know…”

The idea of a return to the ring to put on a all-British bout with Anthony Joshua has been floated, with fans desperate to see the pair trade blows after years of avoiding one and other.

While Sulaiman has promised Fury a world title fight if he does come back to boxing, setting up a potential trilogy with Usyk or a domestic dust-up with Daniel Dubois.

“He will always be number one so absolutely (we will give him a world title shot if he returns) because he is top of the top.”

Anthony Joshua: George Groves has claimed that a blockbuster bout between Joshua vs Fury bout signed

Anthony Joshua: Former world champion George Groves has claimed that a blockbuster bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is either already signed or close to being finalised, saying both fighters are likely to meet next without interim bouts, The PUNCH reports.

Groves said he believes Fury’s temporary retreat from the spotlight is simply part of the build-up before an official announcement.

“I don’t think you need to convince him,” Groves said in an exclusive interview with CasinoBeats when asked what it would take to bring Fury out of his brief retirement.

“I think it’s done. He’s fighting Joshua. He’s just switched off from boxing for a bit. I’m almost certain that the fight is either signed, sealed, delivered and just not announced, or well on its way to being done.”

The former WBA super-middleweight champion added that both heavyweights are past the stage of needing warm-up fights and are ready to face each other despite their recent form.

“Joshua wouldn’t have a warm-up fight. Those ships have sailed. They’ll just fight each other,” Groves said.

“They’re both coming off losses, so neither of them is in particularly good form. Fury’s probably been in worse form than Joshua. Joshua got beat by Dubois. Up till then, he was doing okay.

“Knocked out a cage fighter. Fury had life and death with a cage fighter. So yeah, it’s two heavyweights, former world champions, they want to roll around, have a little fight.”

Groves even suggested tongue-in-cheek that the long-awaited fight could happen in a cage, referencing the pair’s recent respective match-ups with MMA crossovers.

Reflecting on Joshua’s place in British heavyweight history, Groves offered a strong comparison with another former world champion, David Haye. While many fans have fantasised about a Joshua-Haye dream match-up, Groves was clear on where he stands.

“Haye was a lot better fighter than Anthony Joshua,” Groves said bluntly.

“He was so fast, so powerful. If he hit you, he could get rid of you. And I’ve seen him spar the likes of Deontay Wilder, Carlos Takam and other quality heavyweights in his prime. He handled almost all of them.”

The 37-year-old, who trained with Haye during his career, recalled just how difficult it was to even land a jab on the former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion.

“I had a lightning-fast jab, really good reactions, but I couldn’t land a glove on him. He could jab and feel like he shoved my teeth out of my head. It was the most frustrating thing ever. Heavyweights shouldn’t be able to do that,” Groves recounted.

He described a hypothetical fight between Haye and Joshua as a shootout but maintained that Haye’s technical gifts and speed gave him the edge, even if both had the power to end it with one shot.

“Haye was a gifted amateur. He won silver at the World Championships. Maybe I’ve seen more of Haye than Joshua so I’ve got a bit of bias, but I think it would have been a 50–50 fight. A great one.”

Groves, who retired in 2018, and remains one of the most respected voices in British boxing also weighed in on recent rumours surrounding Dillian Whyte and Moses Itauma, after Derek Chisora reportedly turned down a £2m offer to face the 29-year-old heavyweight prospect.

“Whyte’s in it for the paydays,” Groves said.

“He doesn’t have the credibility or the profile of Chisora. His options aren’t the same.”

Asked about Whyte’s interest in reigniting a fight with Anthony Joshua, Groves referenced their scrapped bout last year and Joshua’s well-known stance on drug offences in the sport.

“They were scheduled to fight again, weren’t they? Then Whyte tested positive for drugs. And Joshua isn’t a fan of that,” he said. “When Big Baby Miller did that to him, Ruiz stepped in and he came unstuck. Joshua doesn’t like last-minute replacements and he definitely doesn’t like drugs in the sport.”
