Following the collapse of the potential bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, the Ukrainian boxer is back to face a mandatory challenger in Daniel Dubois. Since Usyk and Fury could not agree on “material terms” other than the 70/30 greedy-belly split, a sudden halt was imposed upon Usyk vs. Fury. As per the latest updates, with the prospect of the crowning of the undisputed champion temporarily leaving, Usyk and Dubois are now negotiating.

According to a tweet by Michael Benson, Dubois has recovered from his injury. On the other hand, promoter Frank Warren has argued that Dubois can beat Oleksandr Usyk. “I fancy it, I think he can win the fight, I wouldn’t make it otherwise” stated Frank Warren as per a talkSPORT exclusive. Unfortunately, despite the announcement of Usyk vs. Dubois, boxing fans showed disappointment at the loss of the bout between ‘The Cat’ and ‘The Gyspsy King’.

While several fans reiterated their desire to see Usyk square off against Fury, others claimed Dubois was an easy fight for the Ukrainian boxer in the ring. Following the cancellation of Usyk vs. Fury, Deontay Wilder‘s team showed interest in facing Usyk. Wilder’s manager even cited how the former heavyweight champion would take the fight against Usyk “in a heartbeat“.

Anyway, Usyk must face the mandatory challenger Dubois in the ring. After the tweet by Michael Benson, several people reacted to it. According to Ricci Guarnaccio, “Boxing is ridiculous at times“. In addition, they showed frustration regarding Fury vs. Chisora and ‘AJ’ vs. Franklin.

Meanwhile, Noel Gilronan stated Dubois vs. Usyk is “definitely not a PPV“.

On the other end, Cleaveland Leader spoke about what Usyk would be ideally earning facing Dubois instead of Fury.

However, Landon prioritized Usyk vs. Wilder over Dubois vs. Usyk.
