Tyson Fury notes Daniel Dubois detail that may boost his chances of Anthony Joshua KO

“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. Everybody else never went over, not a singular person – Big Baby Miller, Hrgovic, Usyk or Wardley, but Joshua goes down five times.

“Chinny, get up!” the 37-year-old laughed, before ending the video.

Dubois was stopped by Usyk in 2023 and again last summer, with his wins over Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua taking place between those defeats. Dubois actually dropped Usyk to the mat in their first clash, but his attempted body shot was ruled a low blow. Dubois’s team attempted to have the fight result overturned, but their attempt was unsuccessful.

Before facing fellow Briton Fury, Joshua will box relative unknown Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on 25 July. Fury has also said he wants a warm-up fight before taking on Joshua – with their bout expected to take place at Wembley this autumn.

Fury actually fought as recently as 11 April, outpointing Arslanbek Makmudov while emerging from retirement for the fifth time. And Joshua’s latest outing was a sixth-round stoppage of YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in December, 10 days before AJ survived a fatal car crash in Nigeria. That accident claimed the lives of two of his teammates: Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele.

Since then, Joshua has been training with old rival Usyk in the latter’s native Ukraine. Usyk, who holds the unified heavyweight belts, outpointed Joshua in 2021 and 2022, and he did the same against Fury twice in 2024.
