Shakur Stevenson wants to see Tyson Fury next fight IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois after losing his rematch against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk last Saturday night in Riyadh.
Fury should fight Dubois, but he will not come close to this top predator. With the way Dubois goes to the body, Fury would be very vulnerable in his delicate state.
I don’t think Shakur understands what Fury is talking about. He takes calculated risks and is not about to face the walking guillotine Dubois. If Fury were true, Audie Murphy guy, you wouldn’t have to ask him twice to face Dubois. He’s not about that though. A fight against Dubois would be bad for Fury’s health.
It would take a lot of courage on Gypsy King’s part to agree to fight Dubois because after what he just went through, he wouldn’t want to suffer a third straight loss. It would be an easy fight to make, considering Fury and Dubois share the same promoter, Frank Warren.
Before Fury’s two losses to Usyk, he considered himself the best fighter in the division. His fans saw him as the best and didn’t care that his resume lacked quality wins.
Many fans would also like to see Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) fight Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) next. That would allow him to snap his two-fight losing streak and help build interest in a bout against Anthony Joshua.
As things stand, Fury would go into the fight against AJ with a 0-2 record in his last two fights, making their bout a money grab. It is almost impossible that Fury and his promoters would agree to make a fight with the 27-year-old Dubois.
He is too powerful, dangerous and too young for Fury. Gypsy King was injured by Usyk, who is not a striker. Fury’s three fights against Deontay Wilder have done him some good.
Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, and Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, are interested in the next fight between the two. Hearn said he would like the first fight to be at Wembley Stadium in London and the second fight to be in Riyadh.
Hearn is in a mad rush for the Joshua vs. Fury fight because he knows these two guys are too far gone to be trusted to fight top 15 contenders unless they are well vetted beforehand and considered 100% sure.
I want to see Tyson Fury vs. Dubois
