David Haye says ‘everyone is avoiding’ one heavyweight: “Dubois’ style won’t work against him”

Former two-division world champion David Haye claims WBC heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel is the fighter "everyone is avoiding" and represents Daniel Dubois' toughest potential matchup. Speaking to talkSPORT, Haye argued that Dubois' forceful fighting style would fail against Kabayel's fluid movement, angles, and body punching, comparing the German heavyweight's technical amateur schooling to Oleksandr Usyk.

Dubois recently retained his WBO heavyweight title with a second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley and has expressed interest in a unification bout with IBF champion Filip Hrgovic. However, Haye advised Dubois to adopt an approach closer to Lennox Lewis by setting up heavy punches with smaller shots rather than forcing the action against slippery opponents like Kabayel.
