Tyson Fury has spoken about the fight between his potential future opponents, Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley.
Wardley is the newest champion in the heavyweight division. He was elevated to WBO ruler when Oleksandr Usyk vacated rather than face his mandatory last year.
That came after the Ipswich man had knocked out both Joseph Parker and Justis Huni despite many people believing he was behind on the cards.
In the opposite corner in April will be Dubois, the former IBF ruler who has been out of action since last July when he was stopped in the mid-rounds by Usyk.
Speaking to FurociTV, Fury gave his view on both men and how the fight might play out.
“I think Wardley’s a good fighter and I think the Daniel Dubois fight is a very good fight. Great fight for British boxing – two British heavyweights knocking lumps off each other. These are two big punchers. Whoever lands first with the big shot will win.
“These guys are 6 foot 4, 6 foot 5 wrecking machines. Look how they’re built – they’re built like Greek gods carved out of stone. They’re training, young, ambitious.
“They’re both in their prime, both fresh, both young – it’s a real fight, it’s not like one is past it and one isn’t. I think the fans are the real winners here. They get to see a 50/50 fight between two big heavyweights for the world title.”
If Fury himself wants to regain some form of world title, he may well end up fighting the winner of this contest at some point in 2026 while Usyk, who has beaten him twice already, retains the other three major belts.
