Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are set to meet for a second time this weekend, and it’s going to be the must-see fight of the summer.
The heavyweights are competing for the right to be crowned the undisputed champion of the world.
Usyk is putting three belts on the line, and Dubois has the other, with the Ukrainian looking to earn this title for the second time after beating Tyson Fury to do it the first time.
Meanwhile, it is a chance for Dubois to write himself into sporting history.
There is a bit of needle here as well after their first controversial contest.
Dubois floored Usyk early on with a shot that was deemed to be a low blow.
As a result, Usyk was given five minutes to recover before he finished Dubois later in the contest.
It’s a result that has long been disputed by Triple D’s team, and he’ll now get the chance to put it right.

Usyk vs Dubois 2: What has been said?
Dave Allen is backing Dubois to get one over Usyk.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “I think Dubois will win. I like Usyk, me and him do get on very well.
“I think it’s about timing really, he’s nearing 40 and he’s not physically built like a heavyweight.
“I don’t think he’s a heavyweight at all, he could fight at cruiserweight still now.
“I just think this is the right time for Daniel Dubois to beat Usyk and become undisputed champion.
“I think it’s the timing. Daniel Dubois is getting better with every fight, and he’s improving dramatically.”
Meanwhile, Tyson Fury would ‘surely’ come out of retirement to fight Dubois if the latter defeats Usyk.
That’s according to talkSPORT’s Spencer Oliver, who believes a Dubois victory would heighten Fury’s temptation to make a return to the ring.
“When you’re talking about modern legacies and eras where the best fight the best,” Oliver explained on talkSPORT Boxing.
“Let’s throw this into the mix: let’s say Daniel Dubois goes and beats Oleksandr Usyk on July 19—then what does Fury do?
“Because all of a sudden, you have this new kid, Daniel Dubois, who’s put himself in the conversation.
“When you’re talking about the best in modern eras, you’ve also got Anthony Joshua floating around there as well, and of course, you’ve got Tyson Fury.
“Surely, that’s enough temptation for Fury to come out.”
