Usyk vs Dubois 2: Dynamite fires back at Canelo after stunning bet is laid
Daniel Dubois has warned Canelo Alvarez he will “lose his money” after the undisputed super-middleweight world champion placed a massive bet on Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their much-anticipated rematch on Saturday night.
The Wembley Stadium showdown will be broadcast live on DAZN PPV and pit a pound-for-pound great in Usyk, who last year had back-to-back wins against Tyson Fury , against a Dubois who is at the peak of his boxing powers.
Canelo is so confident that fellow legend Usyk will become a three-time undisputed champion that earlier this week he placed a $500,000 bet on the Ukrainian to win which would net him $630,000 in return.
Explaining that decision to his followers on social media website X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “Over the past five years, Usyk has beaten the best. Oleksandr has very strong stamina; he’s very technical and smart.
“When I see someone with that kind of focus, I back them. That’s why I placed a big bet on his victory. Oleksandr, you do you!”

Yet Dubois, when asked about Canelo’s bet during Thursday’s final pre-fight press conference at Wembley, said: “It doesn’t mean nothing to me.
“It doesn’t mean s**t to me, that. He’s going to lose his money but I’m just focused now. Let’s get it on.”
