Tyson Fury says Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley are still well below his level despite Dubois recently winning the WBO heavyweight title and rebuilding momentum with victories over Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic, and Wardley.
Fury discussed both heavyweights said while talking about his August 1 return bout ahead of a projected showdown with Anthony Joshua later this year.
“It’s like EFL League One versus UEFA Champions League,” said Fury to FurociTV.
“Although they had a good fight together, we’ve seen what happens when Dubois steps up to the Premier League. They don’t really do anything for me.
“They’re very good fighting men. But there’s not a lot of avoided punches in there. It’s just mainly giving and taking it. I’m not going to go off track.
“At my age now, I’ve got to capitalize on making as much as I can.”
Dubois (23-3, 22 KOs) stopped Wardley in the 11th round earlier this month after losses to Oleksandr Usyk in two failed title attempts. Fury (35-2-1, 24 KOs) also lost twice to Usyk before returning last month with a decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Fury has repeatedly pointed toward Anthony Joshua as the fight he wants after his August tune-up.
The heavyweight division also continues moving around Fury. Moses Itauma remains positioned near the top of the WBO rankings, while Agit Kabayel and Frank Sanchez are still waiting for title opportunities that could become tied to whatever direction Fury, Dubois, Usyk, and Joshua ultimately decide to pursue next.
