Oleksandr Usyk rejects age narration: “I feel 23” ahead of Dubois Rematch

The unified heavy weight champion, Oleksandr Usyk, rejects the narrative that is old in its resale with the IBF champion, Daniel Dubois, on Saturday, July 19th. Usyk (23-0, 14 kos) says he feels “23” and believes he will show him out by doing it out dubois (22-2, 21 kos) in his head Dazn PPV at Wembley Stadium in London.

Usyk is 38 years old and says he has two fights left in his career. One of these can be against Tyson Fury if he is serious for wanting to fight him in 2026.

Usyk feels young vs. Dubois

“I feel 23 or 24”, said Oleksandr Usyk Queensberry On Saturday he was asked about his gray hair ahead of his fight against Daniel Dubois.

It would be a mistake for Dubois to assume that the 38 -year -old Usyk has been aging during the night since his victory over Tyson Fury last December. This was only just over six months ago, and Usyk seems the same as he did then.

Dubois is not as high or as skilled as fury. Therefore, this could be an easier struggle for Usyk, which does well against the big punches.

“Maybe because it’s world champion,” said Usyk about whether he thinks Dubois has changed since he fought him in 2023. “Daniel has grown up. He won his last three fights. Daniel is a little different for this struggle.”

Dubois may have gained more confidence since his struggle with Usyk, but style, he is the same fighter. Daniel went through a mini-gaunt against Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller. Surprisingly, Joshua was the easiest of the three. But even in this struggle, Dubois was injured, lucky that Joshua became reckless in the fifth.

Usyk: indisputable title issues

“For me, it does not matter. Daniel has IBF. Enough,” usyk said when he asked if he sees Dubois as a real champion because he was high instead of winning it. “It will be an indisputable struggle for four belts. Only this is important to me.”

Usyk does not mind how Dubois got his hands on the title of the IBF. He just wants to win -the belt so that he can be again undisputed champion. It would probably be sweeter if Anthony Joshua or Moses Ituma Highly pumped to have the IBF belt because there would be more interest in the fight. Usyk would get more from overcoming them than Dubois, who has the reputation to quit.
