Usyk and Dubois Engage in Second Staredown

The reigning WBA, WBO, and IBF World Heavyweight Champion, Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), is set to square off against the WBA's mandatory contender, Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs), in his upcoming bout.

Scheduled for August 26, the fight will be hosted at the Tarczyński Arena in Wroclaw, Poland. The clash will headline an evening of boxing presented by K2 Promotions, in collaboration with Usyk-17 Promotions, Knockout Promotions, and Skill Challenge Promotions.

On Thursday, July 13, a second press conference featuring the Ukrainian and British boxers was held in London.

In a highlight of the event, Usyk and Dubois engaged in a classic staredown, a psychological sparring of sorts. The Briton was the first to break eye contact in this mental face-off.
