WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) will defend his belts against WBA “regular” champ Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) on August 26 at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland. K2 Promotions, Usyk’s promoter, won the WBA purse bid and selected Poland, which is adjacent to war-torn Ukraine as the location for the fight. The fight is part of the WBA’s ongoing world title reduction plan, which will result in only one WBA champion in the heavyweight division.

Usyk will school this guy. Dubois is lucky that Lerena let him off the hook in his last fight.
Be nice to see some of Queensbury’s young British prosprects on the undercard. What’s the betting Frank doesn’t take advantage?
Unfortunately Dubois has a defence similar to Joe Joyce (very little) and the fight will not go the distance.Usyk is simply another level,will be too fast, awkward and ring knowledge far superior. Guessing Dubois face will be too swollen and can’t see,maybe a body shot,or simply his corner doing the right thing and save him from further punishment. My view but hey anything can happen in boxing!!
Lol Usyk couldn’t stop Chisora and barely beat him. Usyk is nothing special
If that were true Fury would have fought him by now.
Yes, we know. You hate him because he’s white.
@Berserker: “We actually know” that everyone hates YOU because YOU are white and RACIST!!! Most of your posts have more to do with your hatred of melanated boxers than actual boxing as a sport! YOUR RACISM is pathetic!
Delusional comment!
Usyk is fantastic. He unified cruiserweight, then won a heavyweight belt.
His closest comparison is Holyfield who was one of the best to ever fight.
Nothing special wow, haters gonna hate.
Why? Because he doesn’t have a huge punch like the big boys? Usyk will school him.
Mr expert ,you don’t have to stop your opponent to win
Harry sacks, you couldn’t stop glass Joe from Mike Tyson’s punch out.
If this was any other weight division it would be a complete mismatch and ‘safe’ fight. But this is heavies and 1 punch can change the fight, dubois definitely hits very hard & and moves forward; Usyk looked very uncomfortable & possibly hurt when AJ finally started opening up in him in the rematch. He didn’t look comfortable with Chisora either. Dubois can win but he’s got to be super agresssive from the opening bell. It really depends on his mental state, I’m not sure if his confidence is recovered from the Joyce fight. But if everything is on point he has the potential to stop Usyk. I’m still thinking most likely though 65/35 in Usyks favour.
Agreed. Dubois is no chump. He’s got some weaknesses, and I expect Usyk to win. But if anyone thinks Dubois is a no-hoper, they are mistaken. He hits a ton and has the capability to set up punches. I just see this as a speed-kills kind of fight with Usyk being too spry.
It’s good to see Wroclaw getting a world class boxing match. That city has been through so much and the Polish people are proud and resilient. I’m glad to have Polska Moc in my blood. War Usyk!
Dubois has enough pop in his shots to seriously hurt Usyk, but Usyk has next level range control, movement and skills. What do we call it, a puncher’s chance?
I see just about everyone here is in agreement and so am I. Usyk by decision, but I will go with a 9th or 10th round stoppage.
Usyk in 2!
This is a dud, but I can’t complain given all of the amazing fights this year.
