Usyk Faces Dubois Rematch in London with Heavyweight Titles at Stake

Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning WBA, WBO, and WBC heavyweight champion, has dismissed concerns about his age ahead of his rematch with IBF champion Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium. At 38, Usyk is significantly older than the 27-year-old British challenger but insists that age is not a factor, emphasizing his motivation and experience, having already won undisputed titles multiple times. Usyk previously defeated Dubois by a ninth-round stoppage in 2023 and aims to become a three-time undisputed heavyweight champion. Dubois, who has since won three consecutive fights including a notable victory over Anthony Joshua, is confident and determined to become Britain's first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. Both fighters expressed respect for each other but remain focused on their own strategies, with Dubois eager to “write his own script” and Usyk feeling youthful and ready, even contemplating future fights such as a potential bout against Tyson Fury. The bout is highly anticipated as a crucial contest in the heavyweight division, with Usyk seeking to solidify his legacy and Dubois aiming to claim all four belts.
