Daniel Dubois vs Oleksandr Usyk winner could have a huge task on their hands.
On July 19, the pair of heavyweight champions will go to war for a second time at Wembley Stadium in London, UK.
With Peter Fury claiming Dubois will be a new man this time around, fans are excited to see whether ‘Triple D’ has what it takes to dethrone the pound-for-pound number one.
Regardless, once the contest is over, the winner will instantly focus on an upcoming match-up that’s been ordered to confirm the next man in line to fight for the IBF belt.

Frank Sanchez and Efe Ajagba ordered to fight in IBF eliminator
The IBF has ordered a rematch between Frank Sanchez and Efe Ajagba to become the mandatory challenger to fight the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois winner.
The pair first went to war back in 2021, with the Cuban dropping his opponent en route to emerging victorious via unanimous decision.
However, things could be different this time around, with momentum on the Nigerian’s side.
While he bounced back in his last outing against Ramon Olivas Echeverria, Sanchez lost in his last big fight against Agit Kabayel.
Meanwhile, while it was officially ruled a draw, most believe Ajagba should’ve defeated Martin Bakole in what was a career-best performance.
Why Oleksandr Usyk will stop Daniel Dubois again, according to a boxing legend
Regardless, before Usyk or Dubois can remotely even entertain the idea of trading blows with Sanchez or Ajagba, they must first focus on the fight ahead.
While the Englishman has improved since the last time they met, a former world champion still doesn’t think it will be enough to relieve the two-weight King of his titles.
