Oleksandr Usyk acknowledged a hidden weakness ahead of his rematch with Daniel Dubois on July 19 in London – but he says it’s not what others think.

The growing popularity of IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and the significant stature of the brand of Oleksandr Usyk in the UK marketplace means that within 24 hours, more than 60,000 tickets have been sold for their rematch.

Warren believes that Dubois identified a weakness in Usyk’s game during their first fight in Poland.

Boxing dignitaries and fight fans filled the Edison Ballroom in Manhattan for the 100th Boxing Writers Association of America Awards dinner last night.

In this week’s mailbag, we tackle a pair of rematches — Oleksandr Usyk-Daniel Dubois II and Chris Eubank Jnr-Conor Benn II – as well as whether Rolando “Rolly” Romero should be allowed in the ring.

Daniel Dubois believes that the officials were influenced by the politically charged occasion in his defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in 2023.

Although both Usyk and Dubois have their charms, the two heavyweights didn't exactly bring the pre-fight fireworks of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier during a recent interview promoting their rematch.
