After being written off by many recently, “Dynamite” has been in the form of his life lately, picking up three stoppage wins off the back of Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.

It was said that the heavy-handed 27-year-old would immediately enter into a rematch with Joshua, but “AJ” and his team did not agree with this idea.

And keep talking talkSPORT today, Dubois stated that he has his eye on unifying the four belts with the winner of Saturday’s rematch if he manages to overtake Parker.

Paulie Malignanggi believes that Tyson Fury is no longer the same fighter he once was, and he will not beat Oleksandr Usyk in Saturday’s rematch.

Fury decides to take revenge for his own loss of split decision to Usyk in May, when he meets the Ukrainian for the second time in Riyad.

Fury was given eight points after tripping over the ropes following a powerful attack from his rival, and Malignaggi feels his three fights with Deontay Wilder, in which he fell four times, are starting to catch up with him.

“I don’t know if Wilder and Fury are the same after these three fights,” the 41-year-old said talkSPORT Boxing.

“Wilder certainly didn’t look the same as Fury to me, his impact resistance was always one of the best.

“He got up from Deontay Wilder’s punches that would have made buildings collapse, and now Oleksandr Usyk, a former cruiserweight, turned him around and dropped him in the first fight.

“What are the lasting effects of the Wilder trilogy?

“Who is one of the most devastating boxers in history.”

The “Gypsy King” suffered the first defeat in his 36-fight professional career, but announced that he would end the 37-year-old’s career on Saturday.

Usyk remains undefeated in his 22-fight professional career, and in May he won the undisputed heavyweight title, the first man in the four-belt era to do so.

Former world champion Malignaggi believes that Usyk, who vacated the IBF belt after the first fight, will repeat the feat.

“I will choose Usyk,” he added.

“I don’t think Fury has it anymore.

“It’s no disrespect to Fury.

“I’ve always loved Fury, I’m just not sure if he can bring him back.”

Frank Warren today revealed that a third fight between the two teams is in the contract – provided Fury emerges victorious and neither retires – while the long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua could be an alternative option for the Manchester fighter.

“Good boxing.

“It’s not normal for someone my height and weight to be able to box and move and slide, so why should I take that away from my game.

“People tell me: go up to Usyk, take him down and punch him, but if it was so effortless why didn’t Joshua do it, who is a massive, sturdy man?
