On Thursday, it was officially announced that Usyk will face regular WBA heavyweight champion Dubois on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland.
– Personally, I am interested in the fight between Usyk and Dubois. Dubois is a young and hard-hitting heavyweight. And so far, if I understand correctly, Usyk does not have the possibility of agreeing on a fight with Tyson Fury. And Usyk needs fights, and Usyk vs. Dubois is a good heavyweight fight. Dubois will come out motivated. I will definitely watch this fight. Yes, Usyk is a favorite, but he is a heavyweight, where there are often surprises,” Tishchenko 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.
