Former world champion Tony Bellew thinks Usyk will win by knockout this time. Bellew, who lost to Usyk at cruiserweight, shared his thoughts with Bet 365.
"Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world. He's probably the best heavyweight of our era, there is no disputing it anymore. He's amazing at what he does. Dubois has been amazing. I've wrote him off on a number of occasions and he's come back to prove me wrong. You've got to give him a shot and he's in with a chance, but Usyk has already made him quit once so can he make him do it again?"
Usyk has proven himself as a top heavyweight. He beat Tyson Fury twice and became the undisputed champion. He gave up the IBF belt, which Dubois now holds.
Bellew had good things to say about Dubois too:
"He (Dubois) is at a stage in his career now where he's overcome such adversity and he's the most confident he's ever been."
Their first fight had some drama. Dubois knocked Usyk down with a body shot that was called low. Usyk got time to recover and went on to win by stoppage.
Even though Bellew praised both fighters, he still thinks Usyk will come out on top:
"I think he'll get stopped between rounds eight and 12."
Usyk doesn't have much left to prove in boxing. He's been undisputed champion at cruiserweight and heavyweight. There's talk of a third fight with Tyson Fury at Wembley Stadium next April, but first, he'll have to get past Dubois again.
