Johnny Nelson Anticipates Usyk's Triumph over Dubois

Johnny Nelson, a former world heavyweight champion, has made it clear that British super heavyweight Daniel dubois will have a daunting task when he squares off against Oleksandr Usyk, the current holder of the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles.

According to Nelson, dubois' only hope lies in landing a lucky punch, but even that is something the savvy Ukrainian champion has prepared for.

"I’d love to give Dubois a massive chance, I’d love to be able to say that ’cause I always back the Brit," Nelson confessed, "But in reality, I don’t give him a chance. I’ve seen chinks in him as a fighter at this stage. I think there’s a chink in his armour that actually for him, at this stage, if he fights somebody like Usyk, will not work for him."

"Usyk will find him out, Usyk will break his heart, Usyk will break him down. Dubois has got a puncher’s chance. This might not sound nice to his fans, his family and all those around him, Dubois is a good fighter, but there is a chink in Dubois’s armour that Usyk will expose and take advantage of. He’s far too smart to let him off the hook. Yeah, he has a puncher’s chance and that’s it," as Nelson was quoted by Boxing Social.
