Daniel Dubois has proclaimed himself the leader of a new generation in heavyweight boxing ahead of his championship bout with Oleksandr Usyk. The 27-year-old British boxer will challenge for all heavyweight titles on July 19 at London's Wembley Stadium.
"I am the new era of heavyweight. The old guys are already leaving, and new boxers are gradually taking their place," Dubois stated with evident confidence.
Dubois believes the division is experiencing a significant shift as established names like Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Usyk make way for fresh talent. The rising contender doesn't lack ambition - he's already thinking beyond the Usyk fight.
When asked about facing Fury, he responded directly: > "Fight with Fury? Of course, I'm interested in that after beating Usyk. I think heavyweight has a good future now."
Interestingly, Dubois seems completely unfazed by the challenge of facing Usyk, who many consider one of the most technically gifted heavyweights in boxing today.
"My time has come, I am the freshness of heavyweight, I am a young lion," he declared.
Can the young challenger back up his bold words against the Ukrainian champion? The boxing world will find out when they clash at Wembley this summer.
