Fury ahead of Joshua clash: Dubois is 'one of the best if not the best'
In the middle of his preparation for Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury has praised someone else: WBO champion Daniel Dubois is one of the best, if not the best, heavyweight on the scene right now.

Tyson Fury, who usually calls himself the best heavyweight, singled out a rival in a social media clip. "I believe he is one of the best if not the best heavyweight on the scene at the moment," Fury said of Daniel Dubois, according to Seconds Out. He also praised Dubois' trainer Don Charles – "I think Don is doing a fantastic job" – and Dubois' father.
Dubois retained his WBO title a week ago with a second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley and then said he would like to fight Fury. Such a bout is possible in 2027 at the earliest: Fury first faces Anthony Joshua in Cardiff on December 11.
