The IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion defended his belts on Saturday at the stadium in Wroclaw, defeating Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs) in the ninth round. Dubois' promoter is Frank Warren, who also manages the career Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), WBC champion.

Theoretically, the next opponent of the Ukrainian should be Filip Hrgovic (16-0, 13 KOs), IBF contender, but of course title unification always takes precedence.

“If Fury pulls out of the fight again, our opponent will be Hrgovic. The problem is that he is a little-known boxer, unfortunately, few fans will be interested in this fight. It will be difficult to promote such a fight. That's why we work very hard to get a meeting with Fury, trust me. And I hope that this will happen. But if Fury doesn't want it, I can't do anything," Krasyuk added.
