Shakur Stevenson wants Fury to fight Dubois, “the ‘walking guillotine'”

Shakur Stevenson wants to see Tyson Fury fight IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois after losing their rematch to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh on Saturday.

Fury is expected to fight Dubois, but he won’t get anywhere near this apex predator. Given the way Dubois approaches the corpse, Fury would be very vulnerable in his delicate condition.

I don’t think Shakur understands what Fury is about. He takes calculated risks and has no intention of putting his head on the block facing the walking guillotine Dubois. If Furia were true, Audi Murphy like, you wouldn’t have to ask him twice to deal with Dubois. This is not the case, however. Fighting Dubois would be harmful to Fury’s health.

Too powerful, too young?

This would show a lot of courage on the Gypsy King’s part to accept a fight with Dubois because after what he just went through, he wouldn’t want to suffer a third defeat in a row. It would be an easy fight to make considering Fury and Dubois share the same promoter, Frank Warren.

Before Fury’s two losses to Usyk, he considered himself the best fighter in the division. His fans saw him as the best and didn’t care that his resume lacked quality victories.

Many fans would also like to see Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) fight Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs). That would allow him to end his two-fight losing streak and help build interest in a match against Anthony Joshua.

As things stand now, Fury would enter the fight against AJ with an 0-2 record in his last two fights, making their fight a money grab. It’s almost impossible that Fury and his promoters would agree to fight the 27-year-old Dubois.

He’s too powerful, too dangerous and too young for Fury. The Gypsy King was injured by Usyk, who is not a boxer. The three fights Fury had against Deontay Wilder did something to him.

Fury’s calculated risks

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren and Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn are interested in staging a fight between those two next. Hearn said he would like the first fight to take place at Wembley Stadium in London and the second in Riyadh.

Hearn is in a mad rush to fight Joshua-Fury because he knows these two guys are too far gone to be trusted to fight top 15 contenders unless they have been well vetted beforehand and deemed 100% safe.

I want to see Tyson Fury vs. Dubois
