battle sign Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois does not attract attention, the Briton has almost no chance of having a full fight, the Russian boxer tells Dmitry Kudryashov .
On Thursday, it was officially announced that Usyk will face regular WBA heavyweight champion Dubois on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland.
– They were waiting for Usyk’s fight. But in a way his meeting with Dubois… It doesn’t even sound. Dubois was a solid prospect. Why am I talking about past tense – the fight with Lereno showed that even an old cruiser can confuse Dubois. And Usyk is a more skilled southpaw and certainly hits harder than Lereno. So Dubois has a very, very small chance of reaching the final gong,” Kudryashov told .
The 2012 Olympic champion, former undisputed heavyweight champion Usyk has 20 victories in the professional ring. Usyk had his last fight in August 2022, beating Britain’s Anthony Joshua for the second time. Dubois has 19 wins with just one loss in November 2020 to fellow countryman Joe Joyce. In the last fight in December 2022, Dubois beat Kevin Lerena of South Africa ahead of schedule and defended the WBA regular champion belt.
