The Ukrainian world champion spoke about his future opponent in the title fight.
Oleksandr Usyk will not underestimate Daniel Dubois. According to the Ukrainian world champion in the heavyweight division, he has never approached his opponents with contempt and will not do so before the title fight.
“I respect Dubois. Some people on the Internet somehow underestimate it. I treat every one of my opponents with tremendous respect.
This is an opponent, and I have to do what is in front of me. If he’s a contender, I have to box him. I will not run from someone or look for a convenient moment for myself. I don’t pay much attention to other people’s criticism and opinions. If you need it, you need to do it.
I can’t say that I follow him a lot, but from a certain moment I watched his fights, I watched who he boxed with. I know that maybe one day I’ll have to box with this guy,” Usyk said in a commentary on Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.
It will be remembered that the Usyk-Dubois fight will take place on August 26 at the Tarczyński Arena in Wroclaw, Poland.
Previously, Usyk boasted pre-fight form from Dubois.
