Tyson Fury has some advice for Daniel Dubois about his next fight. The heavyweight champ thinks Dubois should go after a rematch with Anthony Joshua. Fury says it's the best way for Dubois to make big money in the UK right now.
Dubois is on a roll lately. He's the IBF heavyweight champion and has been impressing everyone. In September, he defended his title against Joshua and won big. He knocked Joshua down twice before stopping him in the fifth round. Before that, Dubois beat Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic. He's got size, power, and a new confidence that's making him a force to be reckoned with.
Fury shared his thoughts in an interview with Pound 4 Pound. He said:
"I don't want to fight someone easy for a low amount, I want to fight someone tough for a large amount 'cause the risk outweighs the easy fight."
Fury thinks Dubois should follow the same strategy. He believes a rematch with Joshua is "the only other big name for him to make big money out of in the UK." It's not just about the money, though. Fury points out it's a chance for Joshua to try and fix that knockout loss.
Right now, Dubois is looking at a February fight date. But Joshua's team says he's dealing with some small injuries and won't be ready by then. So, Dubois will likely announce a different opponent soon.
Fury's got his own big fight coming up. He's set for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in December. It's a fight that'll have a big impact on the heavyweight division.
The heavyweight scene is heating up. With guys like Fury, Usyk, Dubois, and Joshua all in the mix, there are some great fights on the horizon. Fans will have to wait and see what Dubois decides to do next, but Fury's advice is clear: go for the big money and the big names.
