Daniel Dubois 'switched on and focused' on becoming undisputed heavyweight champion
On Saturday night from Wembley Stadium, live on DAZN PPV, Daniel Dubois has the chance to do what no one else has done by besting Oleksandr Usyk and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.Â
Dubois nearly became the first fighter to send Usyk to the canvas in their first battle in August 2023 when the latter went down to the canvas. However, it was ruled that Usyk went down because of a low blow, not a body shot. The 27-year-old Brit stormed his way back to the rematch with three consecutive knockout wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua, respectively, which led to capturing the IBF belt from the latter in September. Now, three days away from potentially making history, Dubois is ready to go.Â
"I’m switched on and focused," Dubois said at Wednesday's open workouts in which he just gave an interview. "Ready to cause chaos in that ring. I’m ready to go.
"I’m grateful for this opportunity, and I’m ready to seize the moment."
A victory over Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) would make Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) only the second British heavyweight (Lennox Lewis is the other) to become undisputed champion. For Dubois, a victory would not only mean a lot to him but also to his fight team, led by head trainer Don Charles.
"The whole team, it means a lot to all of us," Dubois said. "We’ve worked hard for this. We’re not going to let this one go.
"Tune in on Saturday because we’re going to get that victory."Â
