Usyk Eyes Dubois Rematch After Illness Withdrawal

Oleksandr Usyk has expressed interest in fighting Daniel Dubois again after Dubois was unable to face Joseph Parker due to illness, leading Parker to fight Martin Bakole instead. Usyk previously defeated Dubois in a controversial bout in 2023, where a punch from Dubois was ruled a low blow by the referee, though many believed it was legal. Despite Dubois's recent victories against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua, Usyk sees a rematch as an opportunity to silence critics and possibly reclaim the undisputed heavyweight champion title. Usyk's callout comes as Dubois is eager for a rematch to avenge his loss, supported by his promoter Frank Warren. Meanwhile, Usyk remains focused on high-profile fights, having recently defeated Tyson Fury twice. This potential bout is significant in the heavyweight division, providing an opportunity for both fighters to settle past controversies.
