Usyk vs Dubois 2 - Teddy Atlas makes 'superhero' comparison ahead of undisputed title clash
Teddy Atlas has urged Daniel Dubois to put pressure on Oleksandr Usyk when the pair clash for heavyweight glory on Saturday night , live on DAZN PPV .
Wembley Stadium will host the undisputed battle this Saturday night, as Usyk looks to become a four-belt champion for a second time while Dubois is searching for revenge.
In 2023, Dubois travelled to Poland to face Usyk, but he was dropped twice before being stopped by the brilliant Ukrainian .
Since that loss, Dubois has bounced back incredibly, and he now holds the IBF heavyweight crown following numerous big wins .
The Londoner appears to be at his most confident and after scoring three stoppages since his last three fights, Usyk is likely to come up against a different opponent than the one he faced two years ago.
Atlas, who has trained several elite fighters, is a big admirer of Usyk, and he has labelled the current pound-for-pound superstar a ‘superhero.’
“Dubois better hit him and keep hitting them and keep hitting him,” said Atlas when speaking to BetVictor Online Casinos .
“You know those superhero movies? You better put them in the ground. You put a rock on top of them. You better put a building on top of the rock. You better make sure that he never comes back up. That's for me what Usyk is, he's that superhero.
“And he lifts the people of Ukraine on top of it. He gives them hope they're all in the biggest fight of you.
"They're in the biggest fight of their lives, fighting for their country, everything, their possessions, everything in the world, and he represents their strength.
“When they say, ‘who's heavyweight champ?’ It’s our guy Oleksandr Usyk. He's our champion, and we're strong like him. We have his strength, he has our strength and that makes him a superhero in that way.”
Atlas added, “Usyk is almost 40. He's been in a lot of tough fights with Fury. He's fighting this guy that was dangerous before, and now he's ten times more dangerous.
“This is a very dangerous fight, but most importantly, this is not the same fight. This is a different fight. Dubois taught us to not give up on yourself.”
