Oleksandr Usyk is expressing strong belief in Daniel Dubois’ vulnerability to pressure ahead of their upcoming fight this weekend at Wembley. Usyk aims to secure the heavyweight championship title for the second time when facing Dubois, whom he defeated in Poland two years ago after a tough match where both fighters hit the canvas.
Since their last encounter, Usyk has triumphed over Tyson Fury twice, while Dubois has claimed victories against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua to attain the world champion status. However, Dubois has faced criticism for previous instances of quitting in fights, notably against Joe Joyce and Usyk.
Egis Klimas, Usyk’s manager, confidently asserts that Dubois will struggle due to mental weaknesses. Despite this, Dubois, who holds an 11-year age advantage, exudes confidence leading up to the match. Frank Warren, Dubois’ promoter, refutes Team Usyk’s claims, emphasizing Dubois’ improved skills and mindset in recent years.
The highly anticipated showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight championship is scheduled for Saturday, July 19. Fans can watch the fight on DAZN PPV for £24.99 or through a DAZN Annual plan subscription.
Both fighters remained focused during the final press conference, with Usyk dismissing concerns about his age and expressing respect for Dubois. In contrast, Dubois is determined to make history by becoming Britain’s first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, emphasizing his growth and readiness for the upcoming challenge.
Dubois remains confident in his abilities, aiming to script his own victory and secure the championship belts, declaring his determination to emerge victorious and establish himself as the ultimate contender in the heavyweight division.
