Daniel Dubois thinks Evander Holyfield would beat Oleksandr Usyk. The current IBF World Heavyweight Champion shared his opinion after fighting Usyk himself.
Usyk has been on a roll in the heavyweight division. He's beaten Anthony Joshua twice, Daniel Dubois, and most recently Tyson Fury by split decision. These wins have made him the undisputed heavyweight champion, holding all four major titles.
Dubois faced Usyk in Poland last year. During their fight, Usyk went down from a punch, but the referee called it a low blow. Usyk got back up and stopped Dubois in the ninth round. The decision caused some debate, with Dubois' team appealing to the WBA about the low blow call.
Even with this experience, Dubois believes there's one heavyweight who could beat Usyk. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Dubois said:
"Holyfield all day, man, come on!"
Evander Holyfield, now in the Hall of Fame, was an undisputed champion at both cruiserweight and heavyweight. He has big wins over Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, and Buster Douglas.
Usyk and Holyfield have a lot in common. They've both been undisputed champions in the same two weight classes. Holyfield has said that Usyk reminds him of himself, and they often talk about life and boxing.
For now, Usyk is getting ready to fight Fury again. Fury wants to get back the only loss on his record. Dubois is also preparing for a big fight, defending his new IBF World Heavyweight Title against Anthony Joshua.
