Former super middleweight world champion and now expert Carl Froch supported his compatriot Daniel Dubois after a crushing defeat from the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles in the Ukrainian heavyweight division Oleksandr Usyk.

“I think Dubois can be the future of boxing. There are few such representatives in the heavyweight division. Even Joyce, who defeated him, is already well over 30.

I don't think a rematch with Joyce is a smart move from Dubois. I would like to see him in some strong fights so that he gains confidence again. He will be able to come back, I really believe in it,” Froch said in a talkSPORT interview.

The duel between Usyk and Dubois took place on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian won by technical knockout in the ninth round.
