‘Joshua And Dubois Are Limited Compared To Me’ – Fury
Tyson Fury has labeled Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois as limited fighters, while asserting his belief in his superior boxing abilities ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in December.
The ‘Gypsy King,’ who will face Usyk for three heavyweight titles in Riyadh, rejected calls to alter his strategy, instead highlighting his unique style as the key to securing victory.

“Pretty much the same as I did before, good boxing. Someone of my size and heaviness, it’s not normal that I should be able to box and slip, so why would I take that away from my game?,” Fury told TNT Sports.
“People say to me I need to walk forward on Usyk, walk him down and hit him, but if it was so easy, why didn’t Joshua, who is a big strong man, do that? Why didn’t Dubois do it? Those men are limited compared to me, very limited.”
Fury, whose loss to Usyk in May handed the Ukrainian the undisputed heavyweight crown, remains steadfast in his approach, believing his agility, focus, and versatility will make the difference in the rematch.
“A man who walks forward to him is Christmas come early. I’m a side-on boxer, slipping, sliding, uppercutting, hooking. I’m going to do that but with more focus. I think that’s my way to victory,” he added.
Despite criticism of his corner team, which includes his father John Fury alongside trainers SugarHill Steward and Andy Lee, Fury dismissed calls for changes.
“People can have opinions… but at the end of the day, they’re not in the ring doing the fighting. If I’m happy, the world’s happy, and I’m happy,” he said.
Meanwhile, Usyk has downplayed the impact of Fury’s power in their first bout, a claim the British fighter has contested.
Fury, however, accepted his earlier defeat with grace, saying, “I believe that God has a plan for everybody, and the plan was for Usyk to win this fight. He did, so fair play.”

Fury’s pointed remarks about Joshua and Dubois come amidst ongoing discussions about their future in the division. Joshua, now 34, suffered a fifth-round knockout loss to Dubois in September, sparking speculation about his next move.
Trainer Tony Sims recently suggested that a long-anticipated clash between Fury and Joshua remains viable, regardless of the outcome of Fury’s rematch with Usyk.
