In their first bout, Usyk climbed off the canvas to stop Dubois after suffering a controversial low blow, which the latterโs team still insists was a legal body shot. Since then, Dubois has been in the form of his life, stopping Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and most recently Anthony Joshua, whom the 27-year-old knocked out at Wembley in September.
Usyk, meanwhile, is still unbeaten, having recorded back-to-back decision wins over Tyson Fury in 2024. The first win made Usyk, 38, the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years, before he retained the unified belts in their rematch after giving up the IBF strap.

Why was Usykโs first fight with Dubois controversial? Low blow explained
In their first fight, Dubois threw a body shot in round five that arguably landed low, with Usyk immediately wincing and hunching over.
The champion fell to the canvas, but the referee did not start a count, having ruled the punch as landing below the belt.
Usyk was given five minutes to recover, per the rules. Despite declaring himself ready to resume boxing, Usyk was urged by referee Luis Pabon to take more time.
Usyk ultimately used three minutes and 45 seconds of the five minutes allowed.
