    Default Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois

    OLEKSANDR USYK'S mandatory clash with Daniel Dubois is set to take place on August 12, it has been announced.

    The heavyweight champ will defend his WBA, IBF and WBO titles with the fight set to take place in Poland.

    Fans have been left surprised by the choice of location which was entirely in the control of Usyk's camp.

    But that is currently the plan of the Ukrainian after his promoter, Alex Krassyuk, won the purses bid.

    One baffled fan said: "Out of all places Poland?"

    Others have suggested the location made sense given the difficulty of holding a fight in Ukraine given the ongoing war.

    It is set to be Usyk's first fight since last August when he beat Anthony Joshua for the second time to retain his heavyweight belts.

    The 36-year-old has enjoyed a brilliant rise to the top of his weight division and holds a 20-0 record.

    He will be the favourite to triumph over Brit boxer Dubois, whose only defeat came against Joe Joyce in 2020.

    Triple D has otherwise won all 19 of his other fights, with his last victory coming against Kevin Lerena in December last year at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Reports have also suggested that the fighters will be taking home very different pay packets after the clash.

    According to respected boxing journalist Dan Rafael there will be a 75/25 split in the fight purses.

    It means Usyk is set to pocket just short of £5m while Dubois will take home around £1.6m.

    The potential fight comes months after the negotiations for an undisputed bout between Usyk and Fury fell apart.

    Between them the pair hold all of the belts in the heavyweight division and fans had been licking their lips at the prospect of seeing them in the ring together.

    But after much social media name calling, the negotiations came to nothing.

    If Usyk beats Dubois, speculation is likely to begin again.

    Meanwhile over on Bondi beach, your mate Fury is being linked with a fight with some unknown surfer or a Cruiserweight that wouldn’t lace “lickle middleweight” Usyk’s boots.
    And you still can’t see it yet?

    They didn't magically teleport Wilder to the #1 spot for nothing. Well, he has only 1 win in over 3+ years but when has that stopped prepositioning. Sure would be a shame to see Dubois come down with a sudden injury in camp . But I'd bet on it.

    I do not see this fight happening. Respect to Usyk if he takes it but I got the feeling he will wait for the Saudi money and not fight until December.

    Possibly a tad harsh, but He beat a 38 year old Breidis. Might as well be a different guy. Unquestionably Usyk wiped out the division.

    a thirty eight year old mairis who was the current ring, lineal & ibf champion & you could make a case he could still be unbeaten. i agree oleksandr fought the best opposition at cruiserweight but no one has wiped out mairis
