Former world champion, vice-president of the National League of Professional Boxing of Ukraine, Alina Shaternkova shared her impressions of the upcoming fight between Alexander Usyk and Daniel Dubois for the title of absolute champion. She expects the Olympic stadium to be packed at 'Wembley' and an interesting match that will be tense. Shaternkova believes that Dubois is not psychologically ready to fight Usyk in this match.
I hope that in two years Daniel has matured and become more confident and will no longer refuse to continue the fight as he did in the first. I expect a great and epic fight.
Shaternkova also believes that Usyk has the advantage over Dubois and hopes for his victory. Alexander Usyk and Daniel Dubois will have their second fight on July 19 in London, where all four major heavyweight titles will be at stake.
Rematch with Dubois and title fight
In the rematch with Dubois, Usyk will try to regain the IBF title that he lost in the summer of 2024 before the second fight with Tyson Fury due to problems organizing the meeting with the mandatory challenger. For Usyk, this fight will be his first at the 'Wembley' stadium in his entire professional career.
During the press conference, former world champion Alina Shaternkova shared her expectations for the upcoming fight between Usyk and Dubois, expressing confidence in the victory of the Ukrainian boxer and hopes for an impressive match.
