Oleksandr Usyk will face Daniel Dubois tomorrow night in a fight that will decide the next undisputed heavyweight champion.
Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 will top 2025’s biggest night of boxing, and seems set to be a huge event with around 90,000 fans in attendance at Wembley Stadium, watching to see how the heavyweight landscape may change.
Usyk and Dubois have both weighed in for what could be a career-defining night for the pair of them.
The event has brought many stars to London, with Lennox Lewis, who praised Dubois, Shane Mosley, and others stepping into the limelight to watch the mega-fight unfold.
One man who has travelled all the way from the United States to watch the fight, and to make a fight of his own, is a man Usyk is all too familiar with.
Michael Hunter hopes to bump into Fabio Wardley at Usyk vs Dubois 2
Ahead of the fight, Michael Hunter has declared he is attending not only to watch the main event, but to make a fight of his own.
Hunter faced Usyk back in 2017 and lost by unanimous decision, marking the only loss of his career. Hunter went on to beat Martin Bakole after moving up to heavyweight, with the Usyk fight being his last as a cruiserweight.
Hunter has been ordered to face WBA Regular belt holder Kubrat Pulev, with the winner of that fight set to face Fabio Wardley after.
Wardley has been called Britain’s Deontay Wilder after his recent fight with Justis Huni, in which he pulled out a monster shot after being behind for the entire fight, stopping Huni in round 10.
Hunter told Pro Boxing Fans, “Hopefully I see Fabio Wardley because that’s one of my future opponents, according to the WBA mandatory, so we’re here to stir things up for sure.”
Michael Hunter also lost as an amateur to another world-class heavyweight
In 2006, during a UK vs USA amateur tournament, Hunter found himself stood opposite none other than ‘The Gypsy King’, Tyson Fury.
Fury defeated Hunter, though the American would go on to add an impressive win to his amateur record a year later.
In 2007, Hunter defeated Andy Ruiz, who went on to defeat Anthony Joshua to become a world champion in the pros.
Hunter’s pro career has stagnated since his win over Bakole, and a fight with Pulev or Wardley is a must-win fight if Hunter is to make the most of his prime years.
