Tyson Fury REVEALS why he won’t face “League One” Daniel Dubois

Tyson Fury has ruled out a future showdown with newly-crowned WBO heavyweight world champion, Daniel Dubois.

Fury previously expressed his desire to face Dubois in an all-British clash.

However, with a fight against long-time rival, Anthony Joshua now signed for November, ‘The Gypsy King’ admits neither Dubois or Fabio Wardley, who he stopped in a classic earlier this month to win the belt, are on his radar.

“It’s like League One against Champions League Football,” the 37-year-old told FurociTV.

“Although they had a good fight together, we’ve seen what happens when Dubois steps up into the Premiership.

“They don’t really do anything for me.

“They’re not big fights.

“My big fights are Tyson Fury vs whoever he wants and Tyson Fury vs Usyk or Joshua.

 

“They’re not Wardley or Dubois.

“I’m not going to go off track and fight Dubois in a tough fight for 10 times less money.”

With Joshua set to face Kristian Prenga in a warm-up bout on July 25 in Riyadh, Fury, who came out of retirement to beat Arslanbek Makhmudov in April is also set to fight again in August.

Wardley activated his rematch clause to face Dubois again last week after suffering an 11th round stoppage defeat to his British rival.

The Ipswich man dropped ‘Dynamite’ in the first and third rounds, before being overwhelmed in a brutal battle in Manchester.

Fury though has warned the 31-year-old of the danger that await him facing Dubois again.

“I wouldn’t advise it, but he could go in for a rematch with Dubois,” he added.

“A fight that could completely and utterly end you.

“If it’s brutal again which it has to be, because again no disrespect to the boys, they’re very good fighting men, but there’s not a lot of avoiding punches in there it’s just mainly giving and taking it.”
