Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2: World champion Daniel Dubois makes prediction for rematch

Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2: World champion Daniel Dubois makes prediction for rematchDAZN
The two heavyweights will go head-to-head for a second time in Riyadh.

The build-up is officially underway for one of the biggest rematches in recent years. 

Taking place on December 21 and broadcast live on DAZN PPV, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson will go head-to-head once again for the WBA, WBC and WBO world heavyweight titles in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 

The first encounter between the world's two best heavyweights was on May 18 and it was a contest which proved too close to call. 

On that occasion, it was Usyk who had his hand raised to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era with a split decision victory, a knockdown in round nine proved to be the difference.

As expected with a contest of this magnitude, a rematch was soon called and the date is set for what is the perfect end to a memorable year for boxing. 

One person who will be keeping a close eye on this fight will be IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. 

Dubois made a successful first defence of his title in September when he knocked out British rival Anthony Joshua in front of a capacity crowd at Wembley Stadium, and now has his sights set on facing the winner of Usyk vs. Fury for the undisputed title at heavyweight. 

During an interview with Podlounge UK, Dubois made his prediction for the eagerly-anticipated rematch whilst also detailing his future plans inside the ring.

"I'm still backing Fury [for the win]. I hope our man does it. Usyk is capable. Fury should jump on him and smother him," Dubois said.

"Fury is a slick boxer too, but it will be a great fight and I'll be out there calling on to fight the winner."
