PHOTO: Usky, Dubois to clash on Saturday in heavyweight rematch

Share this:

Oleksandr Usyk will face Daniel Dubois on Saturday for the undisputed heavyweight championship.

The duo previously met in August 2023, where Usyk retained his titles with a ninth-round stoppage victory despite being knocked down in the fifth round due to a body shot ruled a low blow.

Dubois and his team felt robbed of a career-defining triumph, with promoter Frank Warren’s appeal to rule the fight a no contest and order an immediate rematch rejected.

Since the previous fight, Usyk became boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000 by adding the WBC belt to his collection after defeating Tyson Fury.

Usyk will defend his titles against Dubois, who claimed mandatory challenger status with the IBF after stopping Filip Hrgovic last summer.
