Daniel Dubois gets another shot at Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship this Saturday at Wembley Stadium. The British fighter aims to dethrone Usyk, who many consider one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Dubois holds the IBF belt, while Usyk has the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles. The winner will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
Usyk earned his undisputed status by beating Tyson Fury in May 2024. After that win, he vacated the IBF title, which Dubois picked up.
The two fighters met before in August 2023, with Usyk winning by stoppage in the ninth round. But Dubois has shown improvement since then. Last September, he knocked out Anthony Joshua in the fifth round to defend his IBF title.
Despite Dubois' recent success, many experts still favor Usyk. Terence Crawford, a pound-for-pound star and undisputed champion in two weight classes, shared his thoughts in an interview with Ring Champs With Ak & Barak.
"Usyk, hands down."
Crawford himself has a big fight coming up. He'll face Canelo Alvarez at 168lbs in September, trying to become the first male fighter to be undisputed in three weight classes.
The boxing world will watch closely as Dubois and Usyk step into the ring on Saturday. Will Dubois pull off an upset, or will Usyk cement his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights ever?
