The British heavyweight will defend his IBF world title against Joseph Parker in February 2025 and is looking to conquer his rivals in a "destructive" fashion following his impressive win against Anthony Joshua earlier this year.

Asked if he wanted to be this era's equivalent to Mike Tyson, Dubois told Sky Sports: "Do it in that sort of fashion, [yes]. I'm going to be me but do it in that destructive fashion.

"When I land and land correctly, they usually do fall. But I'm not going just off punch power. You need a lot more than that. You need skill, determination, heart and a whole variety of different things.

"I'm pretty much the full package of what I'm going to be right about now. I can't wait to get back in the mix… Let the whole circus start over again and let's get ready to rumble again.

"[It's] back-to-back big fights for me now. The first guy on my hitlist is Joseph Parker… I'm not overlooking him; I'm not underestimating him and I'm not overestimating him either.

"I'm just getting ready, ready to destroy. Destruct and destroy and do my thing."

Dubois was only elevated to world champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the IBF belt so he could take on Tyson Fury in a rematch but the fighter believes that his crushing win over Joshua shows that he fully merits his status.

He said: "You've got to put some respect on my name! I proved you wrong there, and I'm going to continue doing it. I'm the number one now.

"At the time I felt this [the Joshua victory] is massive. It's opened the door for me… I'm going to continue to reign as a champ.

"From a little kid when we started as a little boy, going to all the amateur clubs, with my dad taking me everywhere, doing all the work, now I'm at the top of the game. It's been a life's work."
