Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois were stoic for their final face-off.
'The Cat' and 'Dynamite' are slated to go to war later today in Poland. For the heavyweight champion, the fight will be his first since his rematch with Anthony Joshua a year ago. There, he scored his second straight win over 'AJ' by decision.
Following the bout, he attempted to stage a championship unification bout with Tyson Fury. However, 'The Gyspy King' declined to fight, citing financial needs that weren't being met. As a result, the young 25-year-old prospect is slated for the fight of his life.
Last night, the two heavyweights attended the ceremonial weigh-ins for the event. For Daniel Dubois, he came in at the lightest he had since his fourth career fight, weighing in at 233.2 pounds. Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk came in at 220 pounds, a similar weight to his two-fight series with Anthony Joshua.
Nonetheless, the two heavyweights were very stoic in the final face-off and staredown. During the build to the fight, both champions have been quietly confident, and that showed at the weigh-ins. The two showed respect but were clearly focused on the task at hand.
