Boxing legend Lennox Lewis has weighed in on the potential matchup between Daniel Dubois and the winner of the highly anticipated Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight, offering his candid thoughts on Dubois’ chances in such a showdown. Known for his astute analysis and no-nonsense approach, Lewis didn’t mince words in praising the talent of Dubois while emphasizing the daunting challenge that lies ahead for the young heavyweight.

In a recent interview, Lewis referred to the Fury-Usyk winner as “the king” of the heavyweight division, acknowledging the immense skill and dominance of both fighters. “We’re talking about two of the best in the world right now,” Lewis stated. “Fury with his size and technical ability, and Usyk with his unmatched footwork and precision. Whoever comes out on top, they’ll be at the peak of the sport.”

When asked about Dubois stepping into the ring with the champion, Lewis was both encouraging and realistic. “Dubois is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, but facing the winner of Fury-Usyk is like climbing Everest. He’s got power, but he’ll need to bring more than that against a fighter at that level.”

Dubois, who recently gained attention for his controversial fight against Usyk, has expressed interest in continuing to rise through the heavyweight ranks and prove himself against the very best. While fans are excited about the possibility of seeing Dubois in such a high-stakes bout, Lewis cautioned that the young fighter would need to refine his skills further to compete at the championship level.

The boxing community remains divided on whether Dubois is ready for such a monumental challenge, but Lewis’ comments underline the high regard in which Fury and Usyk are held as heavyweights. For Dubois, the opportunity to face the division’s top fighter could be a defining moment in his career—and a test of whether he’s ready to take the crown.
