A British prospect has encouraged Daniel Dubois to use the Derek Chisora game plan to defeat Oleksandr Usyk in their anticipated rematch.
Dubois is looking to avenge his defeat of two years ago on an even bigger stage for the undisputed heavyweight titles.
Usyk was able to stop the British man in the ninth round after ‘Dynamite’ took the knee following a sharp jab.
The IBF champion has had some advice from former opponent Kevin Lerena, who told him to put a dent in the Ukrainian as early as possible.
Harlem Eubank believes Chisora’s tactics can topple help Dubois Usyk
Now he has also been advised by Harlem Eubank this time to employ the Chisora style for this encounter.
Speaking on TalkSport, he explained: “I think Daniel is the type of fighter that has that belief and he is not scared of what is in front of him.
“And that is something that will hold you in good stead going into a fight with Usyk… I think that is one of the things Derek Chisora has done well; he is kind of an old-school type of fighter. He is going to ride shots and use his weight.
“And I think if Daniel can do that and not stand off and have a technical exchange, then he has a solid chance.”
‘Del Boy’ was the second introduction to heavyweight for the now 38-year-old, who picked up a unanimous decision against the veteran fighter.
But when pushed for a prediction on the matchup, Harlem went against his fellow countryman.
He said: “I think I have to pick Usyk because of the ability and what he has done in there with the heavyweights.
“But Daniel has a very live chance in this fight.”
Who could Derek Chisora face in his 50th and final fight?
In April, before official confirmation of the Wembley rematch, Derek Chisora was made the IBF mandatory challenger after beating Otto Wallin in February.
However, his opportunity for this was taken away because of the fight being made official.
Frank Sanchez and Filip Hrgovic were in talks for an eliminator, but this has not come to fruition as the Croatian now fights David Adeleye in August.
With the IBF situation up in the air, it does not leave the popular Londoner with many options but one trilogy fight.
Joseph Parker has fought the world title challenger twice and won both by decision, but now looks set to do it all again one final time.
Rumours have been constant, but this contest seems the only likely outcome with a title fight unavailable.
