Oleksandr Usyk tips scale at career-high weight but he’s still 16lbs lighter than Daniel Dubois ahead of rematch

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois have weighed in for their monumental rematch which could shake the landscape of the heavyweight division.

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are set to face off on what will be 2025’s biggest night of boxing.

Dubois is vying for greatness as he seeks to win the undisputed crown and right one of his only wrongs simultaneously.

Usyk, meanwhile, will be driven to eradicate the controversy surrounding Dubois’s low blow in their first fight by proving he truly is the best. A win for the Ukrainian will make him a three-time undisputed champion.

The pair have both tipped the scales today, and their weights could indicate how the fight will go.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois weigh-in could reveal fight outcome

At the weigh-in today, Usyk tipped the scales weighing in at 227.2 pounds, whilst Dubois weighed in at 243.8 pounds.

This marks a career-high weight for Usyk, and could mean the Ukrainian intends to stop Dubois once more. It also means Usyk’s speed and movement could be hindered, whilst Dubois, who comes in 10lbs heavier than in his first fight with Usyk, may have the same idea.

Lennox Lewis believes Dubois must use his size to secure a victory on Saturday night.

Usyk has overcome a significant weight advantage before when he defeated Tyson Fury in their second fight, with Fury weighing in at 281 pounds, almost 60 pounds heavier than Usyk, who weighed in at 226, his second highest weight.

Dubois is also no stranger to overcoming weight differences, as he defeated Jarrell Miller, who was almost 100 pounds heavier than him. For Dubois, it seems the smaller fighters pose the bigger problems.
