Tyson Fury wants Daniel Dubois after watching him spark out Anthony Joshua at Wembley.
The Gypsy King was ringside as Dubois floored AJ four times before knocking him out in the fifth to retain the IBF world heavyweight championship. A Fury vs Joshua mega fight has long been top of fans and promoters’ wish lists, but that now looks like a pipe dream after Eddie Hearns’ man was beaten up following a string of unconvincing displays in the lead up to taking on Dubois.
Fury of course, must first win his titles back from Ukrainian powerhouse Oleksandr Usyk, who became undisputed heavyweight champ back in May with a dominant display against the Morecambe-based giant. A rematch will happen and while many can’t see past another Usyk triumph, which could see Dubois get another crack at him, Fury is confident he’ll win back the belts and then take Dubois’ as well.
“I’ve got to fight the f*****g rabbit and I’m gonna take the belts back once again,” he said. “And then I’ll fight Dubois and take that off him as well. That’s my plan.”
