British heavyweight sensation Daniel Dubois has thrown his name into the mix for a potential blockbuster showdown with either Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua after his dominant performance against Filip Hrgović.
The 26-year-old powerhouse delivered a masterclass in Riyadh, flooring Hrgović twice before securing a stoppage victory in the eighth round. This win has catapulted Dubois into the upper echelons of the division, and he's now eyeing the biggest names in the sport.
Dubois Calls Out Heavyweight Elite
Speaking after his victory, Dubois made his ambitions crystal clear: "I want Fury or AJ next. I'm ready for the challenge, and I believe I can beat them both." His confidence is sky-high after dismantling the previously undefeated Hrgović, who was considered a serious contender in the division.
Fury or Joshua: Who's Next?
With Tyson Fury currently preparing for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua potentially facing Deontay Wilder, Dubois may need to wait for his shot. However, his promoter Frank Warren has confirmed they'll be pushing for a mega-fight before the end of 2024.
Key takeaways from Dubois' victory:
- Improved stamina and punch resistance
- Devastating power in both hands
- Newfound maturity in his approach
British boxing fans are already salivating at the prospect of Dubois facing either Fury or Joshua in what would be a stadium-filling domestic clash.
