The championship fight is scheduled for August 12 in Wroclaw
It became known how much the world champion according to WBO / WBA / IBF / IBO heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk and challenger Daniel Dubois will receive for the upcoming fight.
K2 Promotions Ukraine paid 8 million dollars for the right to organize the Usyk-Dubois fight. Frank Warren’s promotional company’s offer was $5.6 million.
Usyk will receive 75% of the total prize fund – $6 million. Dubois can count on 25% – 2 million.
Usyk-Dubois fight is planned to take place on August 12 in Wroclaw, Poland. Previously, options for holding a championship fight in the UK and the Middle East were considered.
The WBA ordered Usyk to defend his title against Dubois. If the Briton is unable to take part in the fight due to an injury or for any other reason, the Ukrainian will be assigned a fight with the next opponent in the WBA rating. He is the former WBC world champion Deontay Wilder.
Usyk last fought in August 2022, defeating Anthony Joshua in a rematch by split decision. Dubois knocked out Kevin Lehren of South Africa in December 2022 and defended his WBA regular title.
