Oleksandr Ulsyk says he wants to face Daniel Dubois after ‘DDD’ was pulled out of his fight against Joseph Parker for this Saturday.
WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion Utsyk do not say what suddenly let him pay attention to the fight against the IBF champion Dubois (22-2, 21 COs). This could be the challenge he made to him after his victory over Tyson Fury in their re -broadcast on December 21.
A victory for USyk (23-0, 14 COs) over Dubois would make him a two-time heavyweight undisputed champion. It makes the battle worth it. It also enables USYCy to silence his critics, which believes that Dubois was robbed of a victory against him two years ago on August 26, 2023, in Wroclaw, Poland.
Dubois dropped usyk with a belt shot in the fifth round. The shot kept USYCy on the canvas for five minutes. However, the referee ruled it as a low blow. Replays showed that it looked like a punch on the tape line.
USYK’s next challenge
“I want to fight with Dubois next,” Oleksandr Ulsyk said to box when asked who he would face in his next battle.

It would be a risky battle for usyk to take, because if Dubois pulled out as against Parker, he would have wasted a training camp. The last thing the 38-year-old USyk needs is to deal with delay at his age.
USYK would be better to fight Fury of Anthony Joshua again, but the guys don’t want to fight against him a third time. Utsyk both exposed twice, showing that they were never as good as their loyal fans believe.
It shows you what promoters can do with careful matches. They can almost turn someone into a star. The tradition continues with the new crop of fighters, has fed poor opposition to give the appearance of greatness.
