Daniel Dubois has already faced Oleksandr Usyk twice. Some observers now wonder whether he could come out on top in a potential third meeting between the two.

According to Frank Warren, promoter of Daniel Dubois, he thinks that Daniel Dubois is ready for a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk. He went out and said that he learned a lot in his last two wins. That was the Fabio Wardley fight and the Anthony Joshua fight since the second fight with Oleksandr Usyk. And generally, I agree with the things that Frank Warren said. He's very, very smart. He's very, very sharp. He understands fighter mentality and psychology and how to build fighters, especially in the heavyweight division. For me, though, I just think that Daniel Dubois has some kind of hang-up with Oleksandr Usyk. The guy just has his number. And I agree with what Frank is saying. I think that the maturity of Dubois has grown immensely in these last couple of fights. We actually saw that in between the first two fights with the run of wins that he rattled off while being an underdog. I think it prepared him that much better for the second fight. But look what happened in the second fight. He got beat worse than the first. I just think there's a hang-up with Oleksandr Usyk over Daniel Dubois. I don't care how mature Daniel Dubois is, I think he's gonna have a really tough hurdle getting over when it comes up fighting Oleksandr Usyk. That being said, I think Daniel Dubois is one of the best heavyweights in the world, and unfortunately, he's probably gonna get back to that third fight just because he beats everybody else.
