Oleksandr Usyk, who has made a remarkable impact on the heavyweight division, has offered his insights on the upcoming clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, scheduled for September 21 at Wembley Stadium. Having defeated both British fighters, Usyk’s perspective carries significant weight.

Usyk secured the unified heavyweight titles from Anthony Joshua by winning two bouts against him, both over the distance. He then defended these titles successfully with a stoppage victory over Daniel Dubois. Usyk’s dominance in the division was further solidified when he claimed the fourth and final heavyweight belt from Tyson Fury, making him the division’s first undisputed champion in over two decades.

In a recent interview with Boxing News, Usyk discussed the differences between Joshua and Dubois, highlighting that they are completely different fighters with distinct skills and styles.

“I treat Daniel Dubois with respect. I wish him good luck, and let him become the champion someday – that he trains well … There is no way to compare [Dubois and Joshua], because they are completely different fighters. Different skills; different styles. Totally different boxers. To be fair, I don’t think [Dubois can reach Joshua’s level]. I am sorry for saying this, but this is the truth and I’m telling it.”

Dubois, who was recently elevated to full champion after Usyk vacated the IBF belt, faces an enormous challenge against Joshua. The fight at Wembley Stadium will test Dubois’s resolve and skills in front of over 90,000 fans, providing a significant stage for him to prove his capabilities.

The winner of the Joshua vs. Dubois bout may have a chance to face the victor of the anticipated rematch between Usyk and Fury, set to take place in Saudi Arabia later this year. This potential showdown adds further intrigue to the heavyweight division and the significance of the upcoming fight at Wembley.
