Usyk vs Dubois 2: Accusations Fly as Bloodbath Promised

Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 has been confirmed for July 19 at Wembley Stadium. Usyk vs Dubois 2 will be shown live on DAZN Worldwide and promoted by Queensberry Promotions and Ready To Fight. This Riyadh Season event will see all the heavyweight titles up for grabs for the second time in just over 12 months. Ahead of this rematch, Usyk, Dubois and their respective teams met at the launch press conference. Below is some of what both fighters had to say.

Usyk vs Dubois 2: Verbal Shots and Bloodbath Promise

Oleksandr Usyk

“I believe you are jealous (to Don Charles cheating allegations). You are right, I deserve an Oscar. Listen, you must teach your fighter to punch clean, but I won the fight with a jab. Enough.

“I don’t think about these people (who say he cheated) because it is just talking. Listen, boxing is my life. A lot of people said ‘you won’t make heavyweight’ or be a four-belt cruiserweight. You know what I say? We’ll see.

“For me it doesn’t matter, it is my road, just my road, blah, blah, blah. I am ready right now, not after tomorrow, right now. It is all only talk. I respect this team and I respect all my opponents, those from the UK and the rest of the world.”

Daniel Dubois

“Yeah (I was cheated) but it is in the past now. It happened and I get the chance to put that wrong right and clear up the controversy. There is a lot of sh*t being talked about right now and I can’t wait to put him to sleep on the night.

“I think I am on fire now, I’m on fire and just pent up and ready to go. It is going to be a bloodbath and I will put all the nonsense to rest. I will show I am a man of the future.

“I know that in the ring on the night he will be doing a funny dance when I hit him.”

Both men come into this fight full of confidence with Usyk defeating Tyson Fury twice and Dubois winning his last three fights since losing to Usyk. Despite the improvements from “Dynamite” it’s difficult to see him dethroning Usyk, who we expect to boss the fight and win Usyk vs Dubois 2 by unanimous decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion for a second time.
