Dubois seeks to avenge 2023 defeat in heavyweight rematch with Usyk
Daniel Dubois pushes Oleksandr Usyk in heated standoff as pair promote rematch at Wembley
Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are preparing for their undisputed heavyweight title rematch at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, with Dubois seeking to avenge his 2023 defeat.
During pre-fight discussions, Usyk showed respect for Dubois, saying: “He’s motivated, but I am, too.”
Dubois, the IBF champion, expressed his desire to write his “own script” and achieve greatness.
Dubois's promoter, Frank Warren, praised Dubois's power and often underestimated boxing skills, forecasting an explosive bout given Usyk's tendency to engage in close-range exchanges.
Despite Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez placing a significant bet on Usyk to win, Dubois confidently dismissed the prediction, saying that Canelo would lose his money and Usyk his unified belts.
