Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois – Betting Preview

In order to become the heavyweight champion of the boxing world, you have to often go through a murderer’s row of opponents. Someone who knows that better than most is Oleksandr Usyk, who has been able to defeat the likes of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury – on multiple occasions – to earn the title of undisputed king of the division. However, there’s always someone who is rising up through the ranks.

In this instance, it’s Daniel Dubois. He serves as the latest name in British boxing who will be aiming to topple Usyk and crown himself as the new man in charge. Of course, as many people know, these two have already fought one another in the past – and on that occasion, it was Usyk who was able to come away with the victory.

Since then, though, Dubois has gone back to the drawing board, and he now seems to be in as good of a position as he could ever hope to challenge Usyk once again. The Ukrainian is likely coming into this one as the overwhelming favourite given what he’s accomplished, but we can’t forget that there are 11 years between these two absolute behemoths.

The young eat the old is the saying that has been drummed into us over the years, but will it ring true here? It’s hard to say. The bout will be contested at Wembley Stadium and given what Daniel did to Anthony Joshua in the very same place just a matter of months ago, you’d have to think he’ll be coming into this with about as much confidence as a man conceivably could.

Then again, Usyk has turned away literally every challenger that has ever stood across from him – and how can you ignore that kind of consistency?

So whether you’re looking for the best real money casino apps or you just want to know a bit more about this fight, we’re here to break down what we think is going to happen when these two men run it back on July 19th.

For Usyk, avoiding the big power punches early is going to be absolutely critical here. We can see Dubois coming forward with the kind of passion and drive that helped him get AJ out of there, but whether or not he has the same success depends entirely on how much he puts into it.

We can see him causing Usyk problems early and then, as the fight proceeds, Dubois will surprise many by his ability to hang in there and not fade. With that being said, we’re not so sure it’s going to last, in what we hope will be an all-time classic.

Our official prediction is that Usyk stops Dubois late and if he does that, there’s every chance in our mind that he’ll walk away from the sport. At the age of 38, he has nothing left to prove, and he could ride off into the sunset knowing he’s beaten every big dog imaginable in his generation. That wouldn’t be a bad way to sign off.

Official prediction: Oleksandr Usyk defeats Daniel Dubois via twelfth round TKO
