Derek Chisora thinks Daniel Dubois might have a shot at beating Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch. The former heavyweight contender said this after Dubois' recent string of impressive wins.
Usyk has made his mark as one of the best heavyweights in recent memory. He's beaten Anthony Joshua twice, Tyson Fury twice, and stopped Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian fighter holds all the belts in the heavyweight division, making him the undisputed champion. He's done the same at cruiserweight too.
Chisora knows what it's like to face Usyk. He put up a good fight early on but lost steam as the match went on. Now, he's got his eye on Dubois.
Dubois has been on a roll lately. He's the IBF heavyweight champ and has knocked out some big names. He beat Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in style. But his biggest win came when he stopped Anthony Joshua in five rounds at Wembley Stadium.
This is a big change from when Dubois lost to Usyk in Poland. Usyk stopped him in the ninth round of that fight. But Dubois isn't done yet. He's set to defend his title against Joseph Parker on February 22. After that, he wants another crack at Usyk.
Chisora told Mail Sport Boxing, "The way Daniel's going right now, yeah, why not?" He thinks Dubois' recent performances and growing confidence give him a chance against Usyk.
A rematch would be interesting. Usyk could become undisputed champion in two weight classes twice if he wins Dubois' IBF belt. But some people think Usyk might retire soon. They say he's done it all in boxing with his undisputed status in two weight classes.
Whatever happens, Dubois seems ready for the challenge. He's expected to push hard for that rematch with Usyk after his next fight. With his recent wins and newfound confidence, it could be an exciting matchup.
