British Daniel Dubois can be considered a new star in world boxing, the former Russian contender for the WBA junior middleweight belt told Magomed Kurbanov .
On Saturday in London, Dubois knocked out his compatriot Anthony Joshua in the fifth round to defend his IBF heavyweight belt.
— I watched the fight. The result for me was as expected. I don’t know why this is happening, but I think Joshua is not in his best condition. The only thing that surprised me was that Dubois caught and knocked out Joshua on a counterattack, although before that he himself had missed a very serious blow.
So, we have a new star – Daniel Dubois. And he is ready to box with the winner of the Fury-Usyk duet. Speaking about Daniel’s first fight with Alexander Usik, we will all remember that episode with the blow to the groin, where Usik had time to recover. And it is quite possible that we will see a rematch, “Kurbanov told .
Dubois’ record is 22 wins and two losses. Joshua has 28 wins and four losses. Joshua previously held the WBA, IBF and WBO belts. Previously, he lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk and once to Andy Ruiz.
Earlier, RCC Boxing Promotions general director German Titov told that Kurbanov is expected to fight on November 30 in Yekaterinburg.
