What’s at Stake

The winner will be crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion, a title no Briton has held since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Historical Context

Usyk has already defeated some of the best in the business, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. A win here would solidify his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights of this generation.

Dubois’ Redemption Arc

Dubois, with his 95% knockout rate, is looking to leverage his power and size to overcome Usyk’s technical superiority. This rematch is his chance to prove that he belongs among the elite.

The First Encounter

Their first fight in August 2023 was marred by controversy when Dubois was penalized for a low blow in the fifth round. Despite this setback, Usyk’s controlled performance led to a ninth-round knockout.

What to Expect

Will Dubois adjust his strategy to target Usyk’s body more effectively? Or will Usyk’s experience and technique once again prove too much for the British challenger? Tune in to find out!
