Over the past five years, Usyk has beaten the best. Oleksandr has very strong stamina; he’s very technical and smart. When I see someone with that kind of focus, I back them. That’s why I placed a big bet on his victory. Oleksandr, you do you!
On July 19, Usyk and Dubois will face off in a rematch for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion at Wembley Stadium in London.
The first fight between Usyk and Dubois took place in August 2023 in Wroclaw, Poland. In that bout, which was stopped in the ninth round, Oleksandr secured a knockout victory. Usyk's record stands at 23 wins (14 by knockout) and no losses, while Dubois has 22 wins (21 by knockout) and two losses.
