Shakur Stevenson desires to see Tyson Fury battle IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois subsequent after shedding his rematch in opposition to unified champ Oleksandr Usyk final Saturday evening in Riyadh.
Fury ought to take the battle with Dubois, however he gained’t get anyplace close to this apex predator. With the way in which Dubois goes to the physique, Fury could be extremely weak in his delicate situation.
I don’t assume Shakur understands what Fury is about. He takes calculated dangers, and he’s not about to place his head on the block by going through the strolling guillotine Dubois. If Fury had been true, Audie Murphy sort, you wouldn’t need to ask him twice to face Dubois. He’s not about that, although. Preventing Dubois could be unhealthy for Fury’s well being.
Too Highly effective, Too Younger?
That will present a number of braveness on the Gypsy King’s half to conform to a battle with Dubois as a result of after what he simply went via, he’d not need to endure a 3rd straight loss. It could be a battle that might be simple to make, contemplating Fury and Dubois share the identical promoter, Frank Warren.
Earlier than Fury’s two defeats in opposition to Usyk, he’d thought-about himself the most effective fighter within the division. His followers noticed him as the most effective, and so they didn’t care that his resume lacked high quality wins.
Many followers would additionally prefer to see Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) battle Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) subsequent. This is able to enable him to snap his two-fight shedding streak and assist construct curiosity in a match in opposition to Anthony Joshua.
The best way issues at the moment are, Fury could be going into the AJ battle with a 0-2 document in his final two fights, making their conflict a cash seize. It’s subsequent to unimaginable that Fury and his promoters would conform to make a battle with the 27-year-old Dubois.
He’s too highly effective, harmful, and too younger for Fury. The Gypsy King was getting harm by Usyk, who isn’t a puncher. The three fights that Fury had in opposition to Deontay Wilder did one thing to him.
Fury’s Calculated Dangers
Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, and Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, are occupied with establishing a battle between these two subsequent. Hearn stated he’d like for the primary battle to be at Wembley Stadium in London and the second in Riyadh.
Hearn is in a mad hurry to make the Joshua-Fury battle as a result of he is aware of these two guys are too previous it for them to be trusted combating the highest 15 contenders until they had been well-vetted forward of time and deemed 100% secure.
I wanna see Tyson Fury vs Dubois
