Oleksandr Uyk and Daniel Dubois can be set to an explosive rematch in July, and negotiations on the lucrative second fight are approaching the end. According to Ring magazineThe undisputed clash in weighty weight is planned for July 12 at the Wembley stadium.
Promoter Frank Warren admitted that discussions are underway regarding the unquestioned heavyweight struggle, although no details are finalized at that time. “There were conversations, but nothing has been done yet. Nothing at the moment. The conversation is ongoing and I hope it will come true,” said Warren Talksport. He acts as requested to the World Boxing Organization (WBO) at the beginning of April, applying for a permission to fight before he faces the momentary champion Joseph Parker.
WBO ordered Utyk to face the Parker in defense of his WBA, WBO and WBC titles, while the International Boxing Federation (IBF) requires Dubois to set his belt on the line against Derek Chisorie until April 22. But the first seems that he intends to go to the undisputed crown.
If the exemption is approved, this would eliminate the need to plan these two fights before Usyk-Dubois 2. Gustavo Olivieri, president of WBO, said Sky Sports: “A petition for the union of Usyk-Dubois in order to consolidate heavyweight championships is before the championship.
“Therefore, according to the official ruling in this case, we will publicly announce the official decision, including the mandatory status of Parker, if so.”
Two fighters recently collided in August 2023, when the Ukrainian provided victory over Dubois in Poland – maintaining an invincible run and holding the titles. However, this was not without disputes, because one of Dubois’s blows is questioned by the judge as a low blow.
Then Usyk triumphed over Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed world champion in Lennox Lewis in May last year.
However, due to the consent to the rematch from the Fury, he resigned from IBF – which Dubois, a former momentary owner, won during Downing Anthony Joshua.
With a flawless record of 23-0, Usyk will again be a favorite of a potential rematch. However, Dubois has only one other professional loss that was against Joe Joyce in 2020.
If he were to win, the 27-year-old would win the title of world champion in weighty weight. Although, as Usyk found out last year, it is easier to keep this nickname in the newfangled era.
For now, the WBO Championship Committee has not made a decision, leaving boxing enthusiasts impatiently waiting for confirmation of this expected heavyweight title.
Speaking about Froch on the fights podcastiesTwo -time super middle WBC champion said: “Fury, if he comes out of a pension, the only fight will really be compelling for fans, the only fight I want to see personally is that he is fighting Anthony Joshu.
“But it will be the one that people want to see. He will probably still fill Wembley, but as a boxing purist, as a lover of this sport, did I worry if Tyson Fury never enters the ring with Anthony Joshua? I will be candid, I will not.
“AJ was flattened, ironed several times. We saw him lost to Andy Ruiz, he lost his soul and never regained it. He returned with Jermaine Franklin, Robert Heleniusz, he also defeated Otto Wallin, and then Francis Ngannou, MMA Fighter.
“These four fights really flattered AJ, but they never really tested him. He was never planted at Kosh, he never had to fight there with anyone who was swinging, tried to take him. The moment he was coming with someone who was alive, with a pulse that tried to do him, what happened, what happened?
The defeat of Joshua by Dubois was his fourth professional boxing career. While he was detained by Andy Ruiz in his first failure of his career, the loss with his friend with the British did not return to Count 10 for the first time. Froch believes that Joshua may be too mentally damaged by this fight to accept a warrior as unsafe as Fury, despite the fact that the latter came from two losses for Usyk.
Froch added: “It was a final career performance. It was a finish. It was, mentally, physically, he had been in the ring for a long time. It will be between September and Grudt for a year when Anthony Joshua will return.
“He also talks about the elbow surgery, so if he has an elbow surgery, he will throw him to the next two or three months. The way he occurred against the Utyk, and then was flattened by Dubois, I just feel that he is a disaster waiting for the event.
“For me it is an uncomplicated win for a cart. For me I don’t care who wins, I don’t have a favorite for this fight. Tyson Fury is in better shape. He had stinking against Ngannou, but his two fights with Uyk show me that he still has it and is still good enough and is still capable.”
