Daniel Dubois has the backing of a legendary promoter as he prepares for his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
Two years after Usyk knocked out Dubois in Poland to retain his undisputed championship, he comes to Wembley Stadium for a rematch with “Triple D”.
Dubois has impressed since the loss, achieving three wins, including a knockout victory over Anthony Joshua in the most impressive performance of his career.
The knockout artist now sets his sights on ending Usyk’s undefeated streak, with one promoter backing him to knock him out cold.

Queensberry Promotions founder Frank Warren is backing Dubois to not only beat Usyk but also knock out the undefeated champion at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois is signed to Warren’s promotion, and the boxing legend told his YouTube channel that he thinks his man will knock out Usyk if he can catch him during the fight.
However, he admits that even if Dubois doesn’t manage to knock out the Ukrainian, he will still outbox him and walk out as world champion.
Warren said: “Yeah, if he catches him, he’ll go. And if he doesn’t, I think he can outbox him. But anything can happen.
“I’ve got no say in it, nobody does. It’s down to these two guys. When that bell rings, the best will be the best.”
Warren has overseen many of the great champions in boxing over the years, so when he sees greatness in someone like Dubois, there must be something there.
All but one of Daniel Dubois’s wins have come via knockout
If Dubois does beat Usyk in front of a packed crowd at Wembley Stadium, odds are that it will be via knockout.
“Dynamite” has an incredible knockout record in his career so far. Of his 22 wins, 21 of them came via knockout, the sole outlier being a points decision win over Kevin Johnson in 2018.
The most impressive knockout was his KO of Joshua in London, which is so far Joshua’s final fight of his career.
While Joshua is expected to face Tyson Fury in the near future, Dubois still has his eyes set on ending Usyk’s title reign and cementing himself as Britain’s top heavyweight boxer today.
A year after beating Joshua at Wembley Stadium, Dubois will be hoping to do the same against Usyk.
