Usyk reveals why Dubois had no chance of winning in the rematch!

The stakes couldn’t be higher. This Saturday at Wembley Stadium, Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will meet once again in a seismic rematch—a bout that will crown the undisputed heavyweight world champion. For Usyk, it’s a chance to solidify his dominance over the division and become undisputed champion for a second time. For Dubois, it’s redemption, revenge, and the opportunity to finally silence the doubters once and for all.

Their first meeting in Poland two years ago ended in dramatic fashion. Now, with both men having evolved since then, the rematch is set to be even more explosive.

The First Encounter: Controversy and Chaos

In 2023, the first Usyk vs Dubois showdown ended in a ninth-round stoppage victory for the Ukrainian. But it wasn’t without controversy. In the fifth round, Dubois landed a thudding body shot that sent Usyk to the canvas—a punch many believed was legal. The referee, however, ruled it a low blow, giving Usyk time to recover.

When the fight resumed, Usyk slowly took over, eventually overwhelming Dubois and forcing the stoppage. But the damage had been done—not just physically, but psychologically. Dubois was branded a “quitter” by some, and whispers of fragility followed him like a shadow.

Now, he’s back. And he’s not the same fighter Usyk beat in Poland.

Usyk’s Mission: A Second Reign of Undisputed Greatness

Since defeating Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk has been on a historic tear. He’s beaten Tyson Fury not once but twice, proving beyond doubt that he’s one of the greatest boxers of this generation. The masterful southpaw from Ukraine has combined speed, footwork, IQ, and toughness in a package few heavyweights can match.

“It is the same guy. What can he change in a couple of years? You cannot train your mind, and that is what I think his weaknesses are,” said Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas.

Usyk has made it clear that he doesn’t believe Dubois has changed. In his mind, this is the same young man who crumbled under pressure before—and will do so again.

But is he underestimating the new version of Dubois?

Dubois’ Comeback: From Broken to Believer

It’s easy to forget how much Daniel Dubois has achieved in the last two years.

After the Usyk loss, he rebounded in style:

• Stopped Jarrell Miller in a brutal performance

• Outboxed and outpowered Filip Hrgovic

• Shocked the world by defeating Anthony Joshua

Each fight has hardened Dubois and silenced some of his harshest critics. The quiet Londoner has grown into his power, developed sharper technique, and most importantly, found belief.

“He’s making the mistake of believing I’m still the same boy he beat… Wrong. I’m in my prime now,” Dubois said.

He has a 11-year age advantage, more raw power, and perhaps—after his recent victories—a stronger mindset than ever before.

His promoter, Frank Warren, certainly thinks so:

“He trained his mind against Miller, against Hrgovic, against AJ… and he has shown his power. He knows he can hurt Usyk.”

Age vs Youth – But Who Has the Edge?

Usyk will be 38 years old on fight night. While he insists age is just a number, time is unforgiving in the heavyweight division. At some point, even the greatest reflexes slow down.

“I respect this guy, this young guy. I’m not old guy—38 is not old. We will see Saturday,” Usyk calmly said at the press conference.

Dubois, 27, is entering his prime. His confidence is peaking. His body is ready. And his motivation couldn’t be higher: to become the first undisputed British heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

This fight may very well come down to whether youth can finally dethrone experience.

The Mind Games and Mental Edge

One major talking point has been Dubois’ past—the perceived mental weakness stemming from his losses to Joe Joyce and Usyk. But as his recent performances have shown, Dubois is not mentally broken—he’s mentally rebuilt.

Usyk, however, is a master of psychological warfare through simplicity. He doesn’t trash talk. He doesn’t play games. He just smiles, trains, and wins. That calm confidence may again play a factor under the bright lights at Wembley.

Still, Dubois isn’t intimidated.

“Right now, I just want to get it on. I’m going to write my own script. I’m going to win these belts. I’m going to be the man.”

Those aren’t empty words. Dubois has trained for war, and the pressure to deliver—against a man who’s already beaten him—might just bring out the best version we’ve ever seen.

What’s at Stake? Everything.

This is not just a title fight. It’s a legacy fight. The winner walks away as undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, with all the belts and all the glory.

• If Usyk wins, he becomes a two-time undisputed king and moves one step closer to GOAT status in the eyes of many.

• If Dubois wins, it’s the ultimate redemption arc—from doubted to dominant, from defeated to undisputed.

It’s not just gold on the line. It’s pride, narrative, history.

Final Predictions: Can Lightning Strike Twice?

Can Usyk repeat history and once again outbox and stop Dubois? Possibly. But this is a different Dubois—a smarter, stronger, more resilient version. And with youth on his side and momentum behind him, he may have the best chance anyone’s had in years to beat the technical genius from Ukraine.

Usyk’s precision vs Dubois’ power. Veteran mind vs youthful hunger.

This is more than a fight—it’s a defining chapter in modern heavyweight history.

🔥 Prediction: A war of attrition. A back-and-forth battle. But this time, don’t be surprised if Dubois shocks the world.

Who takes the crown at Wembley? Will Usyk reign again—or will Dubois rise as Britain’s newest king?
