What are the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois Odds?

Usyk expectedly enters as the heavy betting favourite, as short as 2/17 with some firms.

Dubois represents a 17/2 shot in his first return since defending his WBA regular title, where he overcame three early knockdowns before stopping South African Kevin Lerena in the third round.

Should these two fail to be separated on the judges' scorecards, bookmakers will currently have to pay out at a whopping 25/1.

What Have the Fighters Said?

Dubois, who announced the fight through his social media accounts, said this:

"He is a great fighter and I do respect him, but it's my time now. I'm going to shock the world and show people how good Daniel Dubois really is."

Usyk, on the other hand, was more focused on the significance of the location than on his opponent:

"I am very glad that we have the opportunity to organise my fight in Poland, where I won my first world title seven years ago."

He added, "I want to thank the Polish people who are helping Ukraine so sincerely. Hundreds of thousands of my compatriots have been hosted by this wonderful country. Therefore, I hope that my fight will become one more opportunity for Ukrainians and people of Poland to unite and strengthen our friendship."
