Dubois’ Prediction and Future Plans
Speaking with Podlounge UK, Dubois expressed confidence in Fury’s chances:
“I’m still backing Fury [for the win]. I hope our man does it. Usyk is capable, but Fury should jump on him and smother him. Fury is a slick boxer, but it’ll be a great fight and I’ll be out there, calling to fight the winner.”
In addition to his prediction for How To Watch Fury Vs Usyk, Dubois is setting his sights on unifying the heavyweight division. Reflecting on his recent matchups, he said:
“The last few names I’ve faced have been leading me to this point. When they fight, whoever wins, I want them. Unification, get another belt.”
