Dubois Calls For Third Usyk Fight After Wardley Stoppage

WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois wants a trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk after stopping Fabio Wardley.

Usyk beat him by stoppage in 2023 and 2025, but Dubois believes he has improved enough to flip the result: “I’d love that. We’re coming out on top this time,” Dubois.

Dubois is also open to unifications and isn’t picky about who: “I’ve heard talk about Kabayel but I’ll fight whoever’s next in line. Whoever pays the most cash,” Dubois.

Promoter Frank Warren expects unifications to begin in early 2027, with a new undisputed champion possible within 18 months. He says Dubois wants to fight in February and has an eye on WBC champion Kabayel, who defends against Nelson Hysa on November 28 in Germany. Any Dubois-Kabayel fight depends on that result.
