Fury to Usyk: "You Gave Joshua and Dubois a Real Boxing Masterclass"

Following Daniel Dubois' (22-2, 21 KOs) knockout win over Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) to retain his IBF heavyweight title, former world champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) took the time to commend WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs).  

"You gave them a real boxing masterclass. Fair play to you, fair play. That’s what boxing skills do – they deliver results. You know what I’m talking about," Fury said.  

Usyk has defeated Joshua twice by decision in 2021 and 2022. He also faced Dubois in August 2023, securing a 9th-round knockout.  

To recap, on September 21 at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, Daniel Dubois stopped Anthony Joshua early – with knockdowns in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds. Joshua failed to get up by the final count in the 5th, leading to a KO win for Dubois.
