Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) is going to defend his heavyweight championship belts in Poland, but his fight could take place two weeks later than originally announced.

Usyk's promoter Oleksandr Krasyuk, having offered more than $8 million (8,057,000) in a tender, acquired the rights to organize a fight with Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs), WBA mandatory challenger. Immediately after that, Krasyuk announced that he wanted to organize a fight for the IBF, WBA and WBO belts in Wroclaw, Poland. At the moment, it looks like the date of this fight will be postponed by two weeks, and Usyk and Dubois will eventually meet on August 26.

Usyk, who is currently on a visit to Warsaw, told local media that he could also conduct his training in Poland.
