London – Daniel Dubois outweighed Oleksandr Usyk by more than 16 pounds at the official weigh-in ahead of their highly anticipated fight for the undisputed heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium.
Both pugilists were supported by their fervent fans during the weigh-in, held at the BoxPark, outside the stadium.
Usyk weighed 12 pounds less than Dubois in their first fight 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 y Daniel Dubois durante el pesaje oficial previo a su combate.Since his rise from cruiserweight, there has been much talk about Usyk’s size difference compared to his opponents, particularly Tyson Fury, whom he defeated twice on points last year. His technical skill and boxing intelligence have more than compensated for any size 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 Brit has declared that he will “bring chaos” on Saturday and intends to start strong and impose his size, as he did against Anthony Joshua in September, when he surprised the boxing world with a brutal knockout.
