'Absolutely destroy him' - British boxing legend picks Usyk vs Dubois rematch winner

DAZN
Watch Usyk vs Dubois exclusively on DAZN - July 19

British boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed is backing IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois to overcome unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair will meet for the undisputed title on July 19 at Wembley Stadium, exclusively live on DAZN, in a rematch of their contest two years ago. 

Usyk managed to stop Dubois on that occasion, but 'Dynamite' did manage to floor the Ukrainian in the fifth with a body shot before it was ruled a low blow by the referee. 

Since that night in Poland, Dubois has put together a three-fight knockout streak with his most recent coming against Anthony Joshua in September

Dubois is a more confident and explosive operator following his loss to Usyk, and Hamed believes that the IBF champion can hurt the pound-for-pound star once more. 

"Triple D baby all day, every day," Hamed told The Stomping Ground

"In my eyes, Triple D is the only one who has ever hurt Usyk and put him down on the floor and made him think, and he was down there for like three, four minutes.

"Who’s to say once he fights Uysk again he won’t go out there and absolutely destroy him and bring our belts back to our country like it’s supposed to be.”
