Oleksandr Usyk will again face off against Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight title in a bout that promises to be spectacular. The Ukrainian won his previous bout after a knockout in the 9th round, but overall, it was a fight that had its fair share of controversy. Will the fight go the distance this time, and will we see a new champion? All will be determined on Saturday
Oleksandr Usyk News
The Cat is considered a heavy favourite to win this bout by both bookies and fans alike. His professional record includes career-defining victories over Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Usyk managed to beat them not once, but twice. He has improved immeasurably since his first run-in against Dubois, but so has his opponent. The key to his success has been his technical prowess and heart, both of which have seen Usyk triumph over all the would-be threats to his championship reign in the heavyweight division.
Daniel Dubois News
There is no doubt that Daniel Dubois has upped his game since his defeat against Usyk in 2023, but will that be enough for him to become Britain’s first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis? The Londoner is widely considered to possess better resilience than his opponent and has also improved his stamina. Most recently, Dubois annihilated Anthony Joshua in a brutal showdown that lasted 5 rounds and saw Joshua getting knocked down multiple times.
Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 Betting Prediction
Both fighters are tough as nails, and my pick here is that we will see over 9.5 rounds. Last time between the two, the fight ended in the 9th round with 1:48 to go, but I think that the improvement in Dubois’ game will make this fight longer. While Usyk is the clear favourite according to the bookies, he should be wary of the raw power and resilience of Dubois, especially after he showcased his class against Anthony Joshua.
