Daniel Dubois is beaming with confidence as he prepares for his long-anticipated rematch against Oleksandr Usyk. At just 27 years old, the British heavyweight enters this bout not only as a world champion but as a fighter who feels he was robbed of glory the first time around.
Their first meeting in August 2023 ended in controversy. In the fifth round of that fight, Dubois landed a powerful body shot that sent Usyk to the canvas, a punch Dubois and many observers believed was a legitimate knockout blow. However, referee Luis Pabon ruled it a low blow, giving Usyk time to recover.
