Daniel Dubois in the eyes of the boxing community is the main contender for victory over Usik. Higher than Joseph Parker and perhaps Agita Kabayla. Although the latter is controversial.
However, it is a serious test for a young guy who is incredibly charged and outdraw an opponent. Is there a chance? We understand.
Dubois was completely beaten in the first meeting. Dry facts say that The first confrontation was not very desirable for Alexander Usik. The day before, he defeated Anthony Joshua – first in the first confrontation and then in revenge. After the second meeting, Alexander stated: “I will be beating either against Tyson Fury, or I will not fight at all.”
Fury was in no hurry to negotiate. He wanted some conditions or others. It is larger fees, even larger. No one understood that the British wanted tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. However, without him, the match for the absolute championship would not have been drawn up. As without the compulsory protection on which the pressure on the Ukrainian.
The contender at that time was Daniel Duba, with whom Usik met in Wroclaw, Poland, August 26, 2023. The Briton looked like a young man who did not understand what was happening. However, in the ring he proved to be normal.
It was not a extravaganza, but against the background of Usik, which was also the best way, Daniel was quite normal. He lost the rounds, but tried to kiss and beat really hard.
In the fifth round, Dubou hit the belt, Usik recovered and knocked it down for four rounds. This is short. Because this story can still be translated. The British team split from this whole tragedy – they seemed to be deceived, thrown away and made it unclear. That’s all, to put it mildly, it is not true. Because anyone from Daniel’s team will confirm that the blow was below the belt.
And in general, dry figures talk about the dominance of a Ukrainian: everyone except one round, on the notes of judges, and the advantage of all blows.
Since then, Alexander has been entrenched in the status of a legend. Fury still agreed to battle and then lost Usik twice. Once – with a minimal advantage of the opponent, the other is more noticeable. However, both times the victory was celebrated by the Ukrainian. In the first case, he also became the absolute champion of the world in overweight.

The first was Jarrell Miller, whom Daniel knocked out in the meeting final. To put it openly, the referee hurried. It remained eight seconds by the end of the battle, and the American did not look terribly beaten.
The second was Philip Khrgovich. Croat lost due to injury – Daniel broke his face, the dissection did not heal, so the doctor advised to complete the duel. Referee did so.
The third was Anthony Joshua. It is unclear what happened to the former united champion, but Dubois just beat him. Without special ideas or tactical schemes – he went out into the ring and destroyed the opponent physically.
It all gave Duba a terrible self -confidence. Everyone says that he was born, became new, better, steeper, stronger. Without problems, there is logic. However, whether this is really the case – only a duel against Alexander Usik will answer.
Who is the favorite? The victory of Alexander Usik Bookmeckers on average gives 1.30. To win Daniel Duba – 3.70.
Daniel is a good factor, because he definitely has a chance. He is younger for eleven years for his opponent. It is a lot even for overweight. At the same time – really confident. And it is important – to go to the opponent, to endure strokes and to try to bring the power.
Well, it is banal – it is strong. Even in the first meeting, Dubois could win if he hit the above. Everything was decided by some centimeters. And now Daniel is even better.
However, Usik did not ruin. He is still a smart, fast and cool boxer with a wonderful timing. In two confrontations against Tyson Fury, he looked good. In the second duel, even better than in the first, which means that the fight, which was certainly difficult, did not influence the Ukrainian fighter too much.
Usika can win. However, it will not be dubua, but age. Ordinary sports old age, when the athlete decides in the middle of the battle that he can no longer. And it really cannot, because the body does not obey.
It seems that Alexander is not threatened, but so said all the legends who have been beaten. Usik will be no exception if it does not stop in time. Do you need to do it now? It doesn’t look like. The Ukrainian is still a mobile and skillful boxer.
Everything else will show the ring and testing a heavy rival. It is a test not only for Daniel Duba, but also for Alexander Usik to the same extent.
