Serhii Lapin on Usyk vs. Dubois: “This Will Be a Unique Event”

Serhii Lapin, co-founder of Ready to Fight and director of the team of WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs), commented on the announcement of Usyk’s next bout against IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs).

“We thank Queensberry Promotions for the cooperation, as well as Riyadh Season and DAZN for their support. This won’t just be a big fight — it will be a unique event in terms of entertainment. We are ready to crown the undisputed champion for boxing fans all over the world,” said Lapin.

The Usyk vs. Dubois rematch is scheduled for July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom. At stake will be the title of undisputed heavyweight world champion (over 90.7 kg).
