Shakur Stevenson needs to see Tyson Fury struggle IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois subsequent after shedding his rematch towards unified champ Oleksandr Usyk final Saturday evening in Riyadh.
Fury ought to take the struggle with Dubois, however he received’t get wherever close to this apex predator. With the best way Dubois goes to the physique, Fury can be extremely susceptible in his delicate situation.
I don’t assume Shakur understands what Fury is about. He takes calculated dangers, and he’s not about to place his head on the block by dealing with the strolling guillotine Dubois. If Fury have been true, Audie Murphy kind, you wouldn’t must ask him twice to face Dubois. He’s not about that, although. Preventing Dubois can be dangerous for Fury’s well being.
Too Highly effective, Too Younger?
That might present lots of braveness on the Gypsy King’s half to comply with a struggle with Dubois as a result of after what he simply went by way of, he’d not wish to endure a 3rd straight loss. It could be a struggle that may be straightforward to make, contemplating Fury and Dubois share the identical promoter, Frank Warren.
Earlier than Fury’s two defeats towards Usyk, he’d thought of himself the perfect fighter within the division. His followers noticed him as the perfect, they usually didn’t care that his resume lacked high quality wins.
Many followers would additionally prefer to see Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) struggle Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) subsequent. This could permit him to snap his two-fight shedding streak and assist construct curiosity in a match towards Anthony Joshua.
The best way issues at the moment are, Fury can be going into the AJ struggle with a 0-2 report in his final two fights, making their conflict a cash seize. It’s subsequent to inconceivable that Fury and his promoters would comply with make a struggle with the 27-year-old Dubois.
He’s too highly effective, harmful, and too younger for Fury. The Gypsy King was getting harm by Usyk, who isn’t a puncher. The three fights that Fury had towards Deontay Wilder did one thing to him.
Fury’s Calculated Dangers
Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, and Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, are inquisitive about organising a struggle between these two subsequent. Hearn mentioned he’d like for the primary struggle to be at Wembley Stadium in London and the second in Riyadh.
Hearn is in a mad hurry to make the Joshua-Fury struggle as a result of he is aware of these two guys are too previous it for them to be trusted preventing the highest 15 contenders except they have been well-vetted forward of time and deemed 100% secure.
I wanna see Tyson Fury vs Dubois
