British boxer says he's in his prime, will go for aggressive approach against opponent
-
LONDON - Daniel Dubois said he felt unstoppable and ready to cause chaos when he fights unbeaten Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight world title at Wembley Stadium on July 19.
Dubois, 27, is the International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion while Usyk, 38, holds the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) belts.
The rematch in London came after the Londoner lost by a controversial ninth-round knockout in Wroclaw, Poland, in 2023 after Usyk was given time to recover from what the referee ruled was a low blow in the fifth round.
Dubois can become Britain's first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, while Usyk is bidding to be a four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion for the second time after relinquishing the IBF title in 2024.
"I've resurrected myself, resurrected my career and now we're on a roll," Dubois told the BBC.
"Unstoppable, I feel like I can't be beat right now. I'm in the prime of my life and I'm going to go through whatever I have to do. We're here now, no more excuses.
