World undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has a tough fight coming up in July, when the 38-year-old Ukranian will take on British 27-year-old heavyweight Daniel Dubois on July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London. But according to media reports over the weekend, Dubois might not even be the biggest partner on Usyk’s dance card.
The undefeated (23-0, 14 knockouts) champion — who moved up from cruiserweight where he also held the unified belt — stopped Dubois once already, in their August 26, 2023 title fight in Poland.
But in that bout, Dubois sent Usyk to the canvas with a body shot in the fifth round.
