WBC Invites Fury vs Usyk Winner to Face Dubois for Heavyweight Title Unification
On November 28, 2024, the WBC officially invited the winner of the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch to face IBF champion Daniel Dubois in a highly anticipated title unification bout.
Fury vs Usyk Rematch: A Fight for the Heavyweight Crown
The Fury vs. Usyk fight is scheduled for December 21, 2024, in Saudi Arabia, where they will compete for three major titles: WBC, WBO, and WBA. This highly anticipated showdown will determine the next heavyweight champion. However, according to the WBC, the winner of this bout will get a chance to face Daniel Dubois, the IBF titleholder, in a unification fight to claim all four heavyweight titles.
WBC President Supports Dubois vs Winner of Fury vs Usyk
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman expressed his strong support for this potential fight, calling it an “exciting and unmissable” event. “We strongly support unification and the fight to crown the undisputed champion. I want to see Dubois face the winner of this match, and without a doubt, it will be a sensational fight,” Sulaiman told Sky Sports.
Usyk’s Reign as Undisputed Champion and Loss of IBF Title
Usyk was the undisputed heavyweight champion, holding all four belts after defeating Fury on May 18, 2024, in Saudi Arabia. However, in September 2024, Usyk lost the IBF title to Daniel Dubois after failing to defend it against his mandatory challenger, Dubois. Usyk opted to focus on his rematch with Fury, resulting in the IBF stripping him of the title.
Can Usyk Regain the IBF Title?
Despite losing the IBF belt, Usyk remains determined to reclaim his status as the true heavyweight champion. If he defeats Fury, Usyk could challenge Dubois to win back the IBF title in a high-stakes clash. “We need to do everything we can to make this fight happen,” said Sulaiman. “The purpose of this organization is to deliver the best fights to the boxing world.”
A Historical Perspective on Heavyweight Title Unification
Previously, legendary heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis held the undisputed title in 1999, before Usyk accomplished the same feat in 2024. The boxing world now eagerly anticipates whether the winner of Fury vs. Usyk can face Dubois to unify all four major belts in the heavyweight division.
