The Winner Is ‘Made’ Usyk Finally Predicts Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker And Says Fight Against The Winner Is ‘Made’
Oleksandr Usyk is waiting on the result of Daniel Dubois versus Joseph Parker as keenly as anyone.
Oleksandr Usyk fought twice in 2024, with the first contest in May crowning him the first man to become undisputed heavyweight champion in over two decades. The 12-round battle with Brit Tyson Fury was a close one that he edged on points, only to do the same in December in the rematch, though this time for the unified titles after dropping the IBF belt
He has vowed to continue fighting on this year and has confirmed that he is keen to take on the winner of the fight between two most in-form men in the division.
Parker is a former WBO champion who has beaten both Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder in his last two contests. Dubois is also on a good run that has seen him stop Jarrell Miller, Fillip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua in his last three outings, picking up the vacant IBF strap on the way.
Before all that, the Brit had a title tilt against Usyk in 2023. A shot of his had the Ukrainian down, but it was ruled a low blow and Usyk rallied to eventually stop Dubois in the 9th round.
Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing, Usyk revealed his analysis on the fight, edging towards the champion and his former opponent, Dubois.

“52 per cent for Daniel and 48 per cent for Parker that is what my team have predicted.”
Dubois has long called for a rematch to avenge what he feels was an unfair result two years ago. Parker will, once again, be looking to spoil the party.
Whoever wins, Usyk is expected to face them later this year for the chance to become a two-time heavyweight champion, saying, “we wait for a fight on February 22 between Daniel and Joseph. Whoever wins this fight between Daniel and Joseph, I have already made the fight.”
