Former world heavyweight champion Tony Bellew does not believe that his compatriot Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) will be able to take revenge on Alexander Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs). The Briton noted that after four victories over Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), the Ukrainian is rightfully considered the main star of the royal division.

This opinion was expressed in an interview with the YouTube channel Sportingtalk. Usik’s former opponent emphasized that in the first confrontation with Dubois, the Ukrainian super champion looked much more convincing than his opponent, and this will be repeated in the second possible boxing match.

“Usik is now the main star of heavyweight, and it’s other boxers who need him, not him. He can choose any fight. I take my hat off to Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury because they had the courage to fight him. Like Daniel Dubois. Let's remember how the first fight went. Let's be extremely honest: Dubois hit the protective bandage. He must protect you from such blows. And look at how the battle ended. Dubois just gave up, ”said.

Recall that Alexander defeated Daniel with a technical knockout in the ninth round in August 2023, and Daniel was marked by a dirty blow below the belt.

Chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Entertainment Turki Al al-Sheikh announced his intention to organize a rematch between the British and Ukrainian.

Earlier, Usik decided on his next opponent in the professional ring and the weight category in which he will compete. At the same time, he received a sensational proposal to hold a championship fight in Ukraine in the new division.

EGIS manager Klimas told when Alexander plans to return to the ring. Artificial intelligence has already made a forecast for a Ukrainian fight.
