The current plan sees Fury and Usyk square off in an undisputed showdown and Joshua and Wilder square off in a long overdue grudge match.

But these plans could end up being shattered by Britain’s Daniel Dubois.

The WBA ordered Usyk to defend his title against Dubois in April, but a deal has yet to materialize.

But should the fight, which was a cash prize, not go ahead, the WBA will direct Usyk to fight former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder.

Experienced boxing reporter Dan Rafael announced the newsHe writes, “Shouldn’t Dubois be available to take part in the title fight with Usyk?” Summerwhether because of the knee or some other reason, WBA President Gilberto Mendoza told Fight Freaks Unite that Dubois would lose his position as mandatory challenger.

“And that the organization would order Usyk to instead defend against former WBC titlist Deontay Wilder, who is ranked No. 1 by the WBA.”

Ordering a fight between Usyk and Wilder would thwart the Saudis’ winter plans.

However, it could lead to a potentially thrilling Battle of England battle between Joshua and Fury.
