Bellew believes Usyk will win, but he thinks it won't be an easy fight. He says Dubois has grown a lot since their first match last August, which Usyk won by knockout.
"Dubois might be the first to drop Usyk," Bellew said in an interview with Coral. "He's got the power to be the first man to stop Usyk and his confidence is sky-high right now."
Bellew thinks the fight will start rough for Usyk. He expects Dubois to come out strong in the early rounds, really putting the pressure on.
But as the fight goes on, Bellew sees Usyk's skills taking over. He predicts Usyk will use his ring smarts, knowledge, footwork, and intelligence to overcome Dubois' early assault.
"I think Usyk will stop Dubois between rounds 8 and 12," Bellew said. "More specifically, I see it happening in the championship rounds, 9 to 12."
Dubois comes into this fight with some big wins under his belt. He's beaten Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic, and Jarrell Miller in a row. If he wins, he'll become the undisputed heavyweight champ at just 27 years old. That would signal a big change in heavyweight boxing.
But if Usyk wins, he'll have beaten Dubois twice, just like he did with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Many think he might retire on top if that happens, going down as one of the best of his generation.
It's a big fight with a lot on the line. We'll see this weekend if Bellew's prediction comes true or if Dubois can pull off the upset.
