Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) does not care about the fact that he will be an outsider of the fight with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) for three heavyweight belts.

“There is no pressure on me in this fight,” Dubois said. — I should just get in the ring and do my job. Bookmakers and everything else - that is, that is. He's the favorite, we all know that, so there's no pressure on me."

“It’s not that I relaxed much from this, but my head is clear, my path is clear. There is no fuss around me, although I would not pay attention to what they say anyway. It's good to be an outsider. I like it!" Dubois said.

The fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois for the WBA, WBO and IBF championship titles will take place on August 26 in Wroclaw.
