At the same time, the parties have already begun negotiations on the details of the duel.. All the belts Usyk owns are expected to be on the line..

We will remind, earlier Usyk’s negotiations with the WBC champion Tyson Fury failed. Now the Ukrainian must defend his titles against mandatory challengers.

Usyk's last fight in August 2022 was a rematch against Anthony Joshua, in which the Ukrainian won by split decision.. Dubois fought his last fight in December against South Africa's Kevin Lerena and won via TKO in the third round..
