Oleksandr Usyk hopes to do the double on yet another British fighter as he gears up to rematch Daniel Dubois.
Oleksandr Usyk will battle it out with Daniel Dubois for a second time on July 19th in a bid to put any low-blow controversy to bed once and for all.
On the undercard, Kevin Lerena, who dropped Dubois three times, will face Lawrence Okolie. Dubois thinks Okolie will KO Lerena.
The card will also see Usyk’s prodigy take on his toughest fight yet.
Daniel Lapin will take on Lewis Edmondson on Usyk vs Dubois 2 card
Daniel Lapin, an 11-0 light-heavyweight, and Usyk’s countryman, will fight on his undercard in the biggest test of his career.
Lapin has been mentored by Usyk for much of his career, and is his right-hand man in training camps.
He will face British fighter Lewis Edmondson, who knows a thing or two about causing the upset after his career-best, though somewhat controversial, win over Joshua Buatsi‘s former foe, Dan Azeez in October, 2024.
Edmondson is 11-0 himself, and has just one less knockout than Lapin, with three KOs to his name.
