Britain's Dubois is well-placed to challenge Usyk next, as long as he has recovered from the injury he sustained when he beat Kevin Lerena in his last fight.
Dubois is the mandatory challenger for the WBA title that Usyk holds and the WBA has already stated Usyk must begin negotiations for a defence against Dubois if he cannot show signed contracts for the Fury fight by April 1.
Dubois is also represented by Warren, like Fury, so talks between the promoter and Usyk's team will continue.
"We're going to be having discussions anyway because if it comes to the mandatory Daniel Dubois, he's with Frank as well," Krassyuk said. "I treat Frank with big respect.
"We will have to comply with our obligations [for] the mandatories, probably. It's very early to speak about that."
No fighter has been considered the undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis 20 years ago. Fury vs Usyk would have crowned one finally. But the wait, for the fight the boxing world was longing to see, is set to continue.
