Dubois says he will “bring chaos” against Usyk

Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) plans to unleash “chaos” on Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) when the two face each-other on Saturday night in Wembley for undisputed heavyweight title.

It will be a rematch. In the first fight, in August 2023, Usyk won via KO in round nine.

Usyk holds WBC, WBO, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles, and Dubois holds the IBF belt.

“Yeah, turn up the heat, bring the chaos and restore order with victory. And that’s what I’ve got to do,” Dubois told media on Tuesday.

“Whenever they [Usyk’s team] put a challenge down, I’m ready for it, wherever it’s about to go down, I’m ready for it.”

Dubois said he wants to emulate some of his favourite fighters and believes a win on Saturday will put him alongside some of the sport’s greats.

“Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson and Rocky [Marciano] and all of those greats that have come and gone. This fight puts me right up there with all of them to be remembered for all time in history,” he said.

Promoter Frank Warren insists Usyk will face a very different Dubois compared to the 2023 version.

“Last time they fought Daniel the boy. This time they’re fighting Daniel the man and that’s the difference and he’ll find that out on Saturday,” Warren said.

“On the strength of [Usyk’s] record, he’s the best heavyweight of his generation, but everybody’s the best till they get beaten and I think it’s his time now.

“I think the time’s up and I generally think that Daniel’s got the tools, the ability to go and do the business and come away with a prize on Saturday.”
