On July 19 at Wembley Stadium, Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois will headline a historic fight card promoted by Queensberry Promotions, live on DAZN PPV. The main event will be for undisputed glory, with Usyk defending his WBC, WBO, and WBA titles, while Dubois will put his IBF belt on the line. Ahead of this massive showdown in London, Carl Froch spoke to the Escapist, breaking down the fight and sharing how he sees it playing out.
When discussing the Usyk vs Dubois rematch, Froch said: “Usyk Vs Dubois is a good fight. I’m looking forward to it. It’s another one where I would expect Usyk to get in there and just do what Usyk does, which is fast hands, light on his feet, good head movement, good movement, no straight lines, just sort of dominating the ring, just picking and choosing his spots and just putting on a performance where he just outclasses Dubois.
“But the flip side to that is Dubois has had three good wins. Since losing to Usyk. I say good wins, he beat Jarrell Miller. Beat Hrgovic, absolutely f**king flattened Anthony Joshua, which we saw. There are three good wins, which makes him confident.”
Froch’s analysis paints a vivid picture, and one that’s difficult to disagree with. Whatever happens on Saturday night, the rematch promises to deliver drama and intrigue.
