“Denis believes in his compatriot”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– Denis, what are you waiting for the battle of Usik – Duba?
– It all depends only on Sasha. If you look at his fights against Joshua and Fury, Usik studies the rivals at the beginning of the duel, feels them from round to round, and then brings the matter to the end, to a confident victory. I think it will be from Duba.
– What should beware of Usik in battle against Duba?
– Sasha should be bearded below the belt, elbows and other dirty techniques. At this level, anything can be. It’s a big box and there are big guys.
– Usika 38, Duba – 27. Will the Briton be much younger play a big role?
– The big role is played by the fact that they already boxed and Sashko studied the opponent well. The age difference will not play a major role, Usik proved in the first battle.
– Your forecast for battle?
– I, like all Ukrainians, are waiting only for the victory of Alexander Usik, and what it will be, a knockout or by points, there is no difference.
The revenge of Duba and Usik will take place on July 19, 2025 at Wembley Stadium in London.
In 2023, Duba lost the knockout of Usik in the 9th round. In the 5th round, Duba frankly shook his belt, and Usik came to his senses for a long time.
