This is a rematch, but it’s massive. The first fight? Dubois hit Usyk with a shot that some people called a low blow. Others said it was a body shot. The ref called it a low blow, Usyk got time to recover, then destroyed Dubois. It was controversial. It was messy. It was perfect.
Now, Dubois is the IBF champion (sort of—it’s complicated). Usyk is the undisputed king who gave up that belt. So this is for a piece of the heavyweight throne. Winner takes all. Loser goes back to the drawing board. Or, in boxing terms, the loser goes back to crying into a pillow full of money.
How to watch Usyk vs Dubois 2 - The Athletic
Usyk is the favourite. He’s clever, he’s fast, and he has a chin made of titanium. Dubois is younger, stronger, and desperate. He’s like a hungry dog that’s been told the food bowl is two feet away. He’ll swing hard.
Prediction Time (With Zero Authority)
I’m not a psychic. I’m not even a trainer. But if Usyk avoids a lucky punch for four rounds, he’ll win. Dubois might have a puncher’s chance—that one big shot that changes history. But Usyk is too slick. He’ll make Dubois miss, make him tired, and then pick him apart like a vulture eating a steak.
My guess? Usyk by unanimous decision or a late stoppage. He’s a machine. Dubois is a man with a heart full of doubt. Unless he lands that punch. If he does, the whole UK will wake up their neighbours at 11:30 PM screaming.
