Daniel Dubois said he “took” the belts from Oleksandr Usyk before the fight on July 19: “I’m hungry. I need to destroy
On July 19, the legendary Wembley Stadium in London will host the highly anticipated rematch between British heavyweight Daniel “Dynamite” Dubois and Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk. This event is exciting for most boxing fans, as both fighters intend to show everything they are capable of.
Both Dubois and his team are determined, expecting that this time they will be able to take the titles for themselves.
At a press conference, the 27-year-old Briton said, “This will be my night, I am ready for this fight. I am on a different level, and I want to become the absolute champion. For me, it is not only titles, but also glory.” His words indicate a serious intention to win.
At the official weigh-in, which took place two days ago, Dubois showed a weight of 110.6 kg, which is 7.5 kg more than Usyk’s 103.1 kg. Thus, the Ukrainian boxer approaches the fight at a record lightweight for himself, but retains high mobility.
The first battle between these rivals left behind many memories: in 2023, Usyk won, sending Dubois to a technical knockout in the ninth round. Now the British boxer is set for a rematch with new forces and hopes to turn the page of history.
Bookmakers note that there is no big favorite in betting on the fight, because everything can be decided in the same ninth round. However, Dubois is confident in his abilities and declares that this time everything will be different.
Usyk always remains calm in such situations, doing his job without unnecessary words. He enters the ring, ready to fight for his reputation, and this time, he does not plan to retreat.
The fight between Usyk and Dubois will take place on July 19 at Wembley. The approximate start of the selection of boxers is scheduled for 23:30 Kyiv time. It should be noted that due to the “curfew,” the fight should end by 23:00 local time.
This fight will not only be an important sporting event, but also a real battle for a boxing legend.
