Heavyweight boxing fans have a major event to look forward to this summer as Ukrainian champion Alexander Usyk (23-0, 14 KO) and British challenger Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) have finalized arrangements for their highly anticipated bout.
According to the announcement from Queensberry Promotions, run by Dubois' promoter Frank Warren, the fight is scheduled for July 19 at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London.
The official announcement ceremony quickly turned dramatic when the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off. Emotions ran high as Dubois physically pushed the Ukrainian boxer and labeled him a 'coward' during their confrontation.
Usyk, however, maintained his composure in response to the British boxer's provocation. "Listen, this is just a show. The real fight will be on July 19," Usyk stated calmly. "What he did means nothing to me. I have been preparing for this for 22 years because boxing is my life. It gives me popularity and money. I love life. Boxing is life."
According to Statbet, this heavyweight clash has already generated significant betting interest with Usyk currently favored by boxing analysts despite Dubois' impressive knockout record.
The July event at Wembley is expected to draw a massive crowd as both fighters put their impressive records on the line in what promises to be one of the year's most significant boxing matchups.
