Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk has said the unified world heavyweight champion could offer Daniel Dubois a rematch.
“I’m just going to crush it. If it’s Usyk, it’ll be revenge. Or if it’s Fury, I’m ready to deal with that area as well. I’ll deal with it when I get there.
“It’s one fight at a time. Don’t overlook anyone, there’s a big fight in store.
“If I keep getting past them, eventually I will get right there without a doubt. That’s my goal.”

Former professional boxer Kieran Farrell tells his story after being forced into early retirement and helping coach Daniel Dubois to a knockout win over Anthony Joshua.
“I say so, I do. But I don’t overlook Parker. That’s it for him too. He’ll fight just as hard as I do. Don’t overlook anyone. Get him done first and then we can move on. That’s it.” Dubois said.
Among the current non-title heavyweight contenders, Parker is probably in the best form, coming off outstanding wins over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder. Nonetheless, Dubois chose him for his voluntary defense.
“I feel like I’m really ready to be an elite fighter and put on the best fights. My last five or four fights have all been at the highest level, so why go back down? I’ve got to keep climbing that mountain until I reach the stars. And the moon. Edo!” Dubois said with a smile.
“Search and destroy is my mentality. Go all guns blazing and be properly prepared. He’s climbed the mountain and he’s a veteran now, so I’ve got to go out and really take him down. Be better than him in every department.”
Dubois has gained a new level of confidence after his best-ever win over Joshua at Wembley.
“They say that’s what happens. When you win a world title, you improve. I want to put that to the test and see. Now I have a new superpower,” he said.
“Obviously something has changed and I want to keep winning and keep going.”
