WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has declared that he is ready for a rematch against IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois.
Quote: "I want my next fight to be against Daniel Dubois. For the undisputed title. London, Riyadh — it doesn’t matter. Yes, yes. I’m ready, bro," Usyk told Boxing King Media.
Dubois withdrew from his fight against Joseph Parker just two days before the bout due to a viral infection. He was replaced by Congolese fighter Martin Bakole, who was knocked out by Parker in the second round, handing the New Zealander the interim WBO heavyweight title.
Reminder: In 2023, Usyk defeated Dubois by knockout in the ninth round of their first encounter. Following that victory, Usyk went on to beat Tyson Fury twice.
