Face-to-face meeting between Daniel and Alexander will take place on August 26
Promoter Frank Warren commented on the upcoming bout of the British heavyweight Daniel Dubois with WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO world champion Oleksandr Usyk.
“This is a huge opportunity, and Daniel did not just get it. He had to fight several fights to become the mandatory challenger. Now he is here. He had the option to refuse, but Dubois wanted to fight for the title.”
“He wants to fight. Now is the perfect time for Dubois to fight Usyk. Daniel will go to the lion’s den and show his character.”
“We tried to arrange a fight in the UK, but in the end the auction took place. We made a good offer, but the champion will receive 75% of the prize money for the fight, so the fight will go where it was planned.”
The battle between Usyk and Dubois will take place on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland, at the Tarczynski Arena. The championship fight will be shown by the MEGOGO media service.
It was reported that Usyk would receive 75% of the total prize fund – $6 million. Dubois can count on 25% – 2 million.
On the undercard of the Usyk-Dubois fight, WBO International lightweight champion Denis Berinchyk, Dmitry Mitrofanov, Yaroslav Khartsyz, Vasily Chebotar, Fedor Cherkashin, Daniel Lapin and others will enter the ring.
