The European media simultaneously affirmed that Oleksandr Usyk has reached an agreement with Daniel Dubois. The match between the two boxers is scheduled to take place on August 26. The winner will acquire professional belt WBA, WBO, IBO, IBF and the title of the champion of The Ring, the most prestigious boxing magazine in the world.
Daniel Dubois is 10 years younger than USYK. His performance is 20 matches, winning 19 (18 no) and losing 1. Dubois currently holds the WBA belt (Regular) Heavyweight weight. The only defeat of Dubois took place against Joe Joyce, who suddenly lost to Chinese boxer Zhang Zhi Lei in April.
Compared to Daniel Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk is highly appreciated after 2 wins of Anthony Joshua. However, the youth of the British puncher could become a factor to help him surprise in the next match. The competition between USYK and Dubois is scheduled to take place in Poland's Wroclaw City.
On the side of Oleksandr Usyk, he currently has a record of 20 wins (13 no). Initially, USYK was expected to play Tyson Fury in May. The pair was later canceled because USYK did not accept Fury's money division rate. The British boxer wants to receive 70% of the match bonus, only divided by Usyk for only 30%.
USYK may not possess the youth and speed like Dubois, but he keeps the frequency of competition more reasonable when he is over 35 years old. In the past 5 years, USYK has only played 6 matches. This gives him more time to recover after the long matches, while avoiding the plowing scene like many other boxers.
