WBA heavyweight champion Trevor Bryan has labeled his forthcoming opponent Daniel Dubois as a quitter who will be out of his depth when he challenges for the title on June 11 in Miami, Florida.
“Daniel Dubois is a strong fighter, he has fought some good guys, but I am on a different level,” Bryant told Dev Sahni on the Unibet Lowdown. “You saw that when he came up against some good opposition, he quit, gave up.
“You don’t quit, you don’t give up. I would rather go out on my shield. He is an okay guy but he is going in against a nightmare, I will be a nightmare for him and not the fight that he wants. Maybe he should have went back and tried to reverse the loss he had against Joe Joyce before he came to the champion.
“Now that he’s said he wants the champion, he begged for this fight and now he has it. He has it and now he has to pay for it. I’m not the type of fighter where you can step in the ring and think you can walk all over me. I am not heavyweight champ for no reason and on June 11 I’m gonna show everybody that I am a name that you are supposed to respect.
“I am that man who is going to be sticking around for a long time in this sport. I am taking over, so on June 11 you guys are going to see what Trevor Bryan, The Dream, is all about.”
Ahhhhhhh, your really not the champ. Fury and Usyk are buddy, and you have no shot against them.
he has a belt doesn’t he?
So does pretty much everyone else.
Lol Tyson Fury isn’t that good and neither is Usyk. Anybody who has a pulse has a shot against either of them.
Utter nonsense. There is no way Trevor Bryan wins a round against either Usyk or Fury. He certainly wouldn’t make it into the middle rounds against Fury.
fury and usyk are not that good?
god you are some idiot
“Lol Tyson Fury isn’t that good and neither is Usyk. Anybody who has a pulse has a shot against either of them.”
– Stop the madness…
comical at it’s best!
I’m thinking Bryan may come into this fight at 275.
Billie Joe Saunders had some bad Karma when referring to Dubois quitting. Until one has their orbital bone broke and is in danger of losing an eye…they should not judge!
From what I’ve seen Pete it’s an unbearable pain. I know sometimes these guys can seem superhuman as far as what they can endure, but that type of pain appears to be universal.
i was once hit in a bar and cracked my orbital bone. It was more surreal than anything. I could feel it swelling up in real time around the crack. Like liquid flooding through the bone. I had a wicked black eye for about two months as well. I can still feel the bump where the crack refused together
Why do you say that? Does he look out of shape?
He was 268 for his last fight and 267 for the one before. I’m thinking he’s going to put some on in the name of trying to deal with Dubois’ strength. I don’t trust Bryan to get in shape anymore. He was 236 against BJ Flores in August 2018, in his next fight, against Bermane Stiverne, January last year, like I said he was 267.
Dubois will walk right through him.
Yup. I’m not sure how good Dubois is, as he’s quite raw as a fighter. But Bryan was lucky to get a decision against Guidry. Dubois is a legit professional with hardcore power. He’s about six rungs on the ladder above Guidry. I don’t see Bryan making out of the first half of the fight.
After Dubois wins does he have to make his first two defenses against “Diamond Boy” Mahmoud Charr and Fres Oquendo?
The winner of Bryan – Dubois fights the winner of Hughie Fury – Michael Hunter Jr. And I also heard, don’t know how accurate it is, that the WBA is next in line in terms of a unified champion. So whatever happens with Usyk, Joshua and Fury, when it’s all said and done the WBA has the next mandatory because Usyk was the WBO’s, Pulev was the IBF’s and technically Tyson Fury just made consecutive mandatories against Wilder and Whyte.
But will the real unified/undisputed champion accept the mandatory of the WBA? Some belts are meant to be vacated.
I think Usyk probably would. I think he’s seeing a situation unfold where he could be both undisputed at cruiser and heavyweight before the end of his career and if he had to make a defense before going after the other belt, he just might. I don’t know about Joshua, he did fight Pulev to keep the IBF, so maybe. If by some chance Tyson Fury ended up in that situation, however, there is no way in the world he would. He wouldn’t even pull a Riddick Bowe and bother throwing it in the trash.
Dear Lord, Hughie Fury and Michael Hunter are fighting to be the MANDATORY? That’s just another indictment of the WBA. Neither of those guys is a top 10 fighter…. And maybe not even top 20. Hunter’s coming off a gift draw to a fighter I’d never even heard of.
Oh, no, it’s more convoluted than that… Fury and Hunter are fighting to be the mandatory for the winner of Dubois-Bryan. Then the winner of the Fury/Hunter/Dubois/Bryan mini-tournament would, ostensibly at least, be the “We Belt Anybody” “Regular” heavyweight champion, to square off against the “Super” (Duper) champion, Usyk.
Good one!
Bryan, a gifted “on paper” champion, is living in his 15 minutes of fame with Don King standing behind him. It won’t last long.
Maybe you should be fighting Joe Joyce instead then?
“Daniel Dubois is a strong fighter, he has fought some good guys, but I am on a different level,”
I agree, different level on the scales
Bryan was taken to tge edge by John Guidry.
Yes Bryan is quite the nightmare of a heavyweight ‘champion’
Unless he pulls miracle Dubois should win very easily.
Dubois in 2!
such comedy. this guy bryan has done nothing impressive. he should also try sumo
We’re going to see who’s the quitter when Daniel hits him flush on the chin with full power!
Wouldn’t it be great karma if Dubois breaks Trevors orbital bone, and Bryan quits!?
Trevor is living in a dream. No, he did not earn the heavyweight championship title, it was basically given to him. Hence why he doesn’t have any respect from anybody. Trevor is living in a dream world, and I predict that Dubois is going to wake him up from his dream with a nightmare.
