DANIEL DUBOIS could get a shot at either Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua should he beat Trevor Bryan in their WBA ‘regular’ title fight.
That is the opinion of the British heavyweight’s promoter Frank Warren ahead of the 24-year-old‘s first world title bout.
British heavyweight Daniel Dubois is gearing up for his first world title fight
Unbeaten American Trevor Bryan will defend his WBA ‘regular’ belt against Dubois next month
Dubois is set to pit his wits against unbeaten American Bryan in Miami next month in what will be his first outing since August.
Since his stoppage defeat against rival Joe Joyce in November 2020, DDD has racked up back-to-back knockout victories against Bogdan Dinu and Joe Cusumano.
And should he emerge victorious against Bryan, he could face the winner out of WBA ‘super’ champ Usyk and AJ with the pair set for a rematch on July 23.
Speaking to iFL TV about Dubois’ upcoming dust-up, Warren said: “The winner of that fight, which I hope is going to be Daniel, is the mandatory challenger for the title.

“So that’s the position he gets in.
“And when this all gets ironed out and when they announce the rematch of Usyk and Joshua, whoever wins that is going to have to defend that title.
“He’s going to be called upon for his mandatory defence and sitting there will be the winner of that fight, which I hope will be Daniel.
“And that’s what it’s been all about.”

Dubois is fully confident of picking up the belt, as he remarked: “I will definitely take it out on him with controlled aggression, that’s what works.
“I want to go in there to put on a boxing display and make a statement.
“I have been training pretty much non-stop, I have been in the gym and the other guys have been having fights and I have just been working away, but now it is on and I can’t wait to go out there and show what I am about.”
Should Dubois beat Bryan, he may be ordered to defend his strap before turning his attention to either Usyk of Joshua.
