The world waited desperately for the finalization of the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. But unfortunately, the negotiations between these two never reached a logical conclusion. After the failed negotiations, Usyk was directed to fight his mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois. This will be Usyk’s second title defense after he successfully defended his title against Anthony Joshua. As excited as the world is to witness Usyk defend his title against the upcoming heavyweight. It seems like John Fury is favoring Dubois to secure the win. And even has some ideas for the fellow Brit to get his hands on Usyk’s unified championship title.

In a recent interview, John Fury opened up about why he believes Usyk made a mistake in choosing to fight Dubois. And moreover, he revealed a game plan for Dubois to follow if he intends to beat the Ukranian.
