Tyson Fury notes Daniel Dubois detail that may boost his chances of Anthony Joshua KO
Dubois climbed off the canvas twice to stop Fabio Wardley in an instant classic on Saturday
Tyson Fury has questioned Anthony Joshua ’s resilience in the ring, noting how “AJ” was the exception to a recent Daniel Dubois rule. On Saturday night, Dubois climbed off the canvas twice to stop Fabio Wardley in the 11th round, winning the WBO heavyweight title in the process. The result made the Briton, 28, a two-time world champion, after his interim IBF belt was upgraded to the official title in 2024 – before he retained it by stopping Anthony Joshua at Wembley.
Tyson Fury at a post-fight press conference after beating Arslanbek Makhmudov (Getty) And Fury, who is contracted to sign Joshua later this year , referenced that 2024 bout on Sunday while discussing Dubois’s win over Wardley. “Well, I’ve just been sat here thinking, after Dubois’s unbelievable fight last night,” Fury said in an Instagram video. “Dubois fought ‘Big Baby’ [Jarrell] Miller, stopped him, never put him down.
“Then he fought [Filip] Hrgovic, stopped him, never put him down. He fought Wardley last night in an unbelievable fight , stopped him, never put him down . “He hit [Oleksandr] Usyk with some big bombs, never put him over, but yet he fights Anthony Joshua and pummels him, puts him to the floor five times.
” Dubois in fact dropped Joshua four times in their bout, while AJ was ruled to have slipped in a separate moment. “I’m not saying Anthony Joshua’s chinless,” Fury continued, “but they’re the facts. Take it as you wish and as you will.
