Dillian Whyte's trainer Xavier Miller has shared his thoughts on a potential rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois. Miller, who coaches Whyte, one of the strongest heavyweights in the world, expressed respect for Usyk as a champion, but believes Dubois has a chance to win with the right strategy.
URA-Inform reports this, citing Xsport .
“Congratulations to Don Charles on the Trainer of the Year title. He deserves it. He's a close friend of mine in boxing and I always support him. However, Usyk is on a completely different level. His punch in the previous fight with Dubois was legal, and that was the best chance to beat Usyk – to catch him with a powerful punch. It will be very difficult to beat him on points or outbox him, although with age Usyk is getting a little slower. However, he knows how to press at the right moments, especially in the championship rounds,” Miller said.
Miller believes that Dubois will need to try to catch Usyk with one decisive blow to win. However, the coach also emphasized that Usyk is a unique boxer who has proven his strength by winning in two weight classes and overcoming many challenges in the heavyweight division.
Miller sees Dubois winning the rematch with Usyk via a powerful punch that could disrupt the usual flow of the fight. However, he also acknowledges that Usyk is a special boxer and will be extremely difficult to beat, despite his age.
