AND Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs), and Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) see great chances for Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) in his upcoming fight with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). Bookmakers, in turn, have no doubts that Dynamite is doomed to defeat in the battle with the WBA, WBO and IBF champion. Three knockdowns in a clash with Kevin Lerena, although they occurred mainly due to a knee injury, and a defeat at the hands of Joe Joyce could have influenced such a performance. However, Joshua and White do not intend to write off their compatriot from the accounts.

“Yes, Dubois really has a chance. I have great respect for Usyk, I know how hard he trains, and his success is not related to luck. However, it will be nice to see Dubois win. Usyk misses punches. If he misses a strong blow, things may turn out differently. It's heavyweight, they throw big punches here, so I'm giving Daniel a chance," AJ said.

“Daniel has a great opportunity. He has a strong punch, he has strong hands and he is aggressive. Usyk is a good boxer, but a puncher always has a chance, and if he hits, you never know what will happen. When Usyk misses a strong blow, he behaves correctly, he is collected, but Dubois is young. I'm giving him a big chance," White added.

The duel between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will take place on August 26 at the stadium in Wroclaw, and tickets for this tournament will go on sale on ebilet.pl tomorrow.
