Daniel Dubois is set to challenge Trevor Bryan for his WBA 'regular' heavyweight belt this weekend in Miami, Florida.

The American holds the lesser version of the WBA crown, which is generally not regarded as a true world title as Oleksandr Usyk currently owns the legitimate WBA 'super' belt.

Despite being unbeaten, Bryan is a big underdog in the fight with Dubois touted as a potential heavyweight star of the future, even after his defeat to Joe Joyce.

Bryan's promoter Don King, now 90, won the purse bids to promote the bout and so is staging it in the US.

However, Dubois' promoter Frank Warren and UK broadcaster BT Sport are said to have paid a significant rights fee to ensure the bout will take place at a time that accommodates UK viewers.

Daniel Dubois vs Trevor Bryan: What has been said?

"It is about time and I have been waiting patiently for a while," Dubois told Dev Sahni on the .

"It has been frustrating so I am glad to get it on, finally.

"I will definitely take it out on him with controlled aggression, that's what works.

"I want to go in there to put on a boxing display and make a statement.

"I have been training pretty much non-stop, I have been in the gym and the other guys have been having fights and I have just been working away, but now it is on and I can't wait to go out there and show what I am about."

"I fight like every fight is my last fight," Bryan told Dev Sahni on the .

"I am gonna give my heart, my soul and every inch, every bit of strength I have in this coming up fight on June 11 because, even with the heavyweights, this career doesn't last long.

"Every opportunity I do get with names like Daniel Dubois and fighters after this, you want to fight your hardest and show everybody you have the heart and show everybody your skills are going to carry you along...

"Daniel Dubois is a strong fighter, he has fought some good guys, but I am on a different level. 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."
