DANIEL DUBOIS is primed for a shot at the heavyweight world title against either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk.
The British heavyweight holds the WBA’s secondary “regular” title, giving him a guaranteed shot at Usyk’s full version.

And the governing body are next in line to call their mandatory challenger, meaning Dubois, 24, is front of the queue.
He may face a wait, with Usyk, 35, and Fury, 34, in talks for an undisputed decider next year, but Dubois sits pretty in the division.
His trainer Shane McGuigan told Sky Sports: “He’s the WBA regular champion. People might discredit it, we boxed Trevor Bryan for it.
“[But Dubois] still holds a version of a world title that puts him in line for being in a powerful position. He’s highly, highly ranked with the WBA.
“We get that shot, next in line. Because Usyk’s got all the other belts, he’s got the IBF, the WBO and the WBA, Fury’s got the WBC.
“Out of the IBF, WBA and WBO, Daniel is the first in line, the WBA is the first in line to get the shot.”
If Usyk and Fury do in fact meet in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification, Dubois hopes to be the first to challenge the victor.
For now, he returns on December 3 at Tottenham’s stadium against 28-1 ex-cruiserweight champion Kevin Lerena, 30.
McGuigan said: “He’s got a slippery opponent in Kevin Lerena, a guy that’s come up from cruiserweight, decent mover, good head movement.
“He’s not like Usyk, he doesn’t dart around on his feet but he’s got the ability to move his head and he makes himself small, he’s hard to hit clean.
“It’s a good test for us. We need to get through this and see how he does with a southpaw.”
