Daniel Dubois: Fight with Tyson Fury next year would be 'ground-breaking' | 'That'll be the next level for me'

Daniel Dubois is gunning for a "ground-breaking" 2027 showdown with Tyson Fury.

Dubois swept through Fabio Wardley in two rounds of their rematch on Saturday to defend the WBO heavyweight championship.

Fury has his all-British super-fight with Anthony Joshua in December. If he beats Joshua he'd win the WBA 'super' title and Dubois would relish a unification clash with Fury.

"Definitely. That'll be ground-breaking. That'll be the next level for me," Dubois told Sky Sports.

"I've fought everyone then really from this era. I've fought them all. Fury's the last one.

"Fury's a fighting man, I'm sure he would want it. Let's see how he does with AJ. Let's see. I'm sure Frank [Warren, who promotes Fury and Dubois] would love to make that fight."

Dubois has twice headlined at Wembley Stadium against Anthony Joshua and then Oleksandr Usyk. Fury versus Dubois would fill any stadium.

"This is what boxing is. This is the highest level really, this is it at the highest level. This is what it looks like," Dubois said.

Fury and Dubois do have a past. They sparred briefly many years ago. "That was just when I was turning pro," Dubois said. "I went to spar his cousin Hughie and then he popped in for a few rounds. Great memories, great work."

It was when Fury was returning to boxing after ballooning in weight. "So he was massive then," he said, but added with a laugh: "He was elusive."

Dubois fell short in his undisputed championship fight with Usyk but he remains determined to scale the summit of the heavyweight division.

"To win all the belts. That's the main thing now for me, collecting all the other belts," he said. "It would mean everything to have all those belts. No one can take that away from me. That's what I'm after now.

"Amongst all the names of history, not just that, for myself and what's left to achieve in boxing as well."

What next?

After only being taken two rounds in his last fight, Dubois wants to box again "soon, really soon. I want to be out soon, as soon as possible. Whenever the belts are ready, whenever the top challengers are ready, that's what I want. I want to fight".

Dubois is hoping his next opponent will be WBC titlist Agit Kabayel or IBF belt-holder Filip Hrgovic, whom Dubois has beaten before.

"Any one of them [next], Hrgovic, he was there on Saturday, maybe him or Kabayel," he said. "Hrgovic was tough as well, Kabayel, we'll see, we'll see what he's about. He ain't been in with a guy like me but he's a good fighter.

"Just anyone with a damn belt… Anyone who wants it."
