Daniel Dubois has an opportunity to defeat Oleksandr Usyk if he follows this legend’s piece of advice.
Tomorrow night, ‘Triple D’ will go to war with the pound-for-pound number one inside Wembley Stadium in London, UK.
Having lost the first fight, Dubois is understandably an underdog.
However, a former heavyweight world champion believes there’s still a route to victory for the Englishman.

Lennox Lewis says Daniel Dubois must use his size against Oleksandr Usyk
Lennox Lewis believes Daniel Dubois has a shot at dethroning Oleksandr Usyk.
The icon is adamant that his countryman can use his size to get the better of his opponent.
In an interview with IFL TV, the legend explained: “He has to look at himself as a natural heavyweight, as the main guy out there.
“He has to push Oleksandr Usyk back. He realizes Oleksandr is going to be moving around the ring. He’s got to stop that movement.
“He’s got to push him back to the ropes with that jab, and then when he’s got him on the ropes, do that work.
“I always say you’ve got to start first and finish last.”
Johnny Fisher claims Dubois punches harder than anyone he’s faced in sparring and indeed under the lights.
And if Lewis is correct, the heavy hitter could take out the two-division champion and usher in a new era of boxing.

This ex-world champion says Usyk has one last challenge.
