“It’s The Only Big Name” Tyson Fury Didn’t Hesitate To Tell Daniel Dubois Who To Fight Next:
Tyson Fury has some advice for Daniel Dubois on where to head next in his career.
Right now Dubois is on top of the world. He is the current IBF belt holder having defended the strap against former two-time champion Anthony Joshua back in September
That career-best performance saw him knock down the Olympic gold medalist twice on his way to a fifth-round stoppage that left Joshua face-down on the canvas.
In the last year he has also beaten Jarrell Miller and Fillip Hrgovic in impressive fashion and now has a new found confidence to go with his natural size advantages and renowned punching power
Speaking to Pound 4 Pound ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in December, Fury revealed his strategy when planning his fights
“Here’s the thing. Me and Usyk do this fight in December, Dubois has to fight soon anyway. He has to stay active. He’s only going to get a certain amount of money for low-level opposition.
“I don’t know about anyone else but I only want to fight for the highest amounts of money every time. It doesn’t matter who it is. I want the biggest amount for what I’m doing.
“I don’t want to fight someone easy for a low amount, I want to fight someone tough for a large amount ’cause the risk outweighs the easy fight.”

He then revealed that he thinks Dubois should look to take the ‘AJ’ rematch.
“So if I was Dubois, me and Usyk at the top of the division, fighting for the belts, the only other big name for him to make big money out of in the UK so I would definitely say do the AJ fight.
“More for AJ’s side, ’cause he knows he can make big money out of it and he gets the chance to rectify the knockout loss.”
Dubois had said he is open to a rematch with Joshua, though ‘AJ’s team has now said he has some niggling injuries which means he will not be ready to go again in February, which is Dubois’ date. The champ is expected to announce an alternative opponent in the coming weeks
