Dubois vs. Usyk: The Scales Reveal a Noticeable Difference
London – Daniel Dubois presented a significant weight advantage over Oleksandr Usyk at Friday’s weigh-in ceremony, preparing for their anticipated undisputed heavyweight title showdown at Wembley Stadium.
Both boxers had the enthusiastic support of their fans during the weigh-in, which took place at the BoxPark, outside the stadium.
Usyk weighed 12 pounds less than Dubois in their first encounter in 2023, a fight that the Ukrainian won by knockout in the ninth round.
Dubois showed up lighter than the 248 pounds he weighed in his victory over Anthony Joshua in September.Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois face to face on Friday before their heavyweight title fight.
Since his rise from cruiserweight, Usyk’s size difference compared to his opponents has been a recurring theme, especially against Tyson Fury, whom he defeated twice on points last year. His technical skill and boxing intelligence have more than compensated for any physical disadvantage he may have.
Usyk seeks to become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, while Dubois aims to be the first Briton to achieve the feat since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
The British boxer has declared that he will “bring chaos” on Saturday and intends to start strong and impose his size, just as he did against Anthony Joshua in September, when he surprised the boxing world with a resounding knockout.
