Daniel Dubois, known as “Dynamite,” has expressed a strong desire for redemption after his previous encounter with Oleksandr Usyk. In their last fight, which took place in Poland over a year ago, Dubois landed a body shot on Usyk that was ruled as a low blow. Despite the ruling, many believe that the shot was legitimate, and Usyk was accused of “milking it” to buy time for recovery. Ultimately, Usyk came back to defeat Dubois in the ninth round, leaving Dubois eager for a rematch to set the record straight.
On the other hand, Oleksandr Usyk’s current focus seems to be on other opponents in the heavyweight division. He has expressed interest in potential return matches with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, in particular. Usyk seems to prioritize these rematches over a second fight with Dubois, indicating that the prospect of facing Dubois again may not excite him as much as facing Joshua for a third time.
Dubois’ Path to Victory
Despite Usyk’s reservations, Dubois remains determined to climb to the top of the heavyweight division. He sees a potential victory over Anthony Joshua as a stepping stone to achieving his goal. Dubois believes that defeating Joshua would establish him as a dominant force in the division, elevating him to “the top of the tree.” This confidence in his abilities drives Dubois to pursue opportunities for significant fights and further establish his reputation in the sport.
The question remains whether Daniel Dubois will ever have the chance for a second showdown with Oleksandr Usyk. While Usyk may not currently view a rematch with Dubois as a priority, Dubois’ determination and skill as a young, hungry fighter cannot be overlooked. If Dubois manages to secure a victory over Anthony Joshua, it could significantly increase his standing in the division and potentially create more interest in a rematch with Usyk.
The potential for a rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois hinges on various factors, including Dubois’ performance against Joshua and Usyk’s future opponents. While Usyk may currently prioritize other fights, Dubois’ drive for redemption and desire to prove himself as a top contender could ultimately lead to a second encounter between these two talented heavyweights. Fans of the sport will certainly be watching to see how these developments unfold in the future.
