Famous promoter Frank Warren stated that WBA heavyweight mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) would not take a break if he was offered to refuse a fight with WBA, WBO and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).
“At the moment I don’t want to go into it. I do not shy away from this question. Daniel wants to fight, that’s all. To receive such an opportunity is something extremely special for him. I’m pretty sure he would only go for it if he was guaranteed a fight with a winner, but that’s not where Daniel wants to be.
He and we are focused on the big fight. His fight with Usyk is a big fight and it will be good. Many people have their own opinion on this matter, many believe that I am talking nonsense. Let’s see. Daniel won’t step aside. That’s not what we’re working on,” Warren said.
Earlier, Usyk himself said that he plans to fight against Dubois at the end of the summer.
