Malik Scott, coach of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, spoke about the upcoming fight between WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF title holder Alexander Usyk and Daniel Dubois. In his opinion, the Ukrainian will be able to win by knockout over an opponent from Great Britain.. " Of course Dubois is a big guy. Of course he can hit him. But even if he hits him, what then Usyk has one of the best chins in the division. Missed hits won't affect him. He took harder punches from even bigger boxers than Dubois.. I believe that Dubois will be too active. And if you are too active with Oleksandr Usyk, he will punish you. Alexander is not the biggest puncher, but he will punish you because he will hit you with blows that you will not see. Dubois has never been in the ring with such boxers. Considering the way Usyk prepares for fights, and with such an opponent with whom he is facing now, I believe that he has absolutely nothing to worry about.. I mean if he treats this guy responsibly. He is one of the smartest fighters. I just don't see any problem with Dubois.. I see a knockout," Usyk vs Dubois fight will take place on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland. All championship belts owned by the Ukrainian will be at stake.

The 36-year-old Usyk has 20 wins (13 by knockout) in 20 fights. He held four of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there.. The 25-year-old Dubois has 19 wins (18 by knockout) and the only loss in November 2020 from his compatriot Joe Joyce. Earlier it was reported that Dubois called the only way to defeat Usyk.
