But Dubois isn’t agile enough to stick to this tactic from the start to the end of the match. It’s more likely that he’ll be the one completely exhausted, not Usyk. Heavy punches to Usyk’s body might be a more effective approach. His trunk has proven to be something of an Achilles’ heel. If Dubois can take away Usyk’s breath, he might be able to break through at least on the scorecards. Still, I believe Usyk is well-prepared for this clash, and I’d probably bet on his win.
Daniel Dubois is 11 years younger when compared to Oleksandr Usyk. So I would naturally expect him to be more agile. Apart from that, in terms of height and reach, they are very similar. But if you look at their record, Dubois won almost 90% of his matches by KO. Usyk is unbeaten so far, but he has won by KO only around 60% of his matches. For Dubois, the first loss was against Joe Joyce (that too by KO), while the loss against Usyk was also by KO. Looking at the record, I would expect another win for Usyk.
