Okolie Thinks Usyk Will Go for a Knockout Against Dubois

Former two‑division world champion Lawrence Okolie believes Oleksandr Usyk plans to stop Daniel Dubois in their rematch—a hunch he got after seeing the Ukrainian up close.

— What do you expect in Usyk vs Dubois?

— That’s a tough one. I thought Dan might just be able to get to him this time, but then I saw Usyk in person yesterday. Even when he boxed Tyson Fury, he never looked this big.

He just seemed a little more solid for this fight—looks like he’s coming for an early finish. So it’ll be interesting, – Okolie said.

The second Usyk–Dubois fight takes place on 19 July at Wembley Stadium. Full RTFight stats for the rematch are available at the link.
