Saturday evening at Wembley Stadium brings a new account between Oleksandar Ukik and Daniel Dubois – two difficulties whose first fight still causes fierce debates.
This match does not only carry the title of the absolute world champion, but also the potential end of one major controversy, but also the opportunity for revenge and history.
Usik has the opportunity to become an absolute champion in his category for the third time in his career, thus further consolidating his status of one of the best boxers of modern era. Dubois, on the other hand, wants to prove that the first match was unfairly decided and deserved to become the first Briton with a complete title in a heavy category since Lennox Lewis in 1999. years.
Recall, in their first duel in August 2023. Usik won the technical knock in the ninth round, but the fight remained marked by an incident from the Pete Round.
Then Dubois hit Ukrainian in the body, which Judge Luis Pabon characterized as an unauthorized blow under his belt.
Usik got a recovery time, which caused anger in the British corner, and his team still claims that the blow was fully regular.
Regardless of controversy, statistics from that match go in favor of USICA – struck almost twice as many strokes (88 versus 47) and was visibly technically superior.
The duel also carries an incredible financial weight – the overall prize fund exceeds 200 million dollars, which makes this match one of the most expensive in boxing history. The usic is expected to collect about 122 million euros, while Dubois will earn about 65 million.
Bookmakers and experts consider usuise a clear favorit – quota on his victory ranges around 1.40, while for Dubois 4.00. The usk’s speed, the operation of the legs and technical precision for years give him an advantage over him stronger but slower heavy.
Dubois, which is higher and more physically more imposing, relies on their explosive strength – as much as 95 percent of their victories has achieved a knockout.
His team announced a far more aggressive approach tonight, with a special focus on the body’s bodies, hoping that the 38-year-old usic is still slower and more vulnerable than before.
The main program starts at 18:30, while entering the ring is expected for about 23 hours in Central European Time. Everything is ready for a spectacle that could print a new page boxing history.
