This is a career-high weight for Usyk, but as expected, Dubois was heavier, weighing in at 110.5 kg. The Ukrainian puts his three championship belts (plus the Ring Magazine title) on the line, while the Englishman risks his WBA "regular" title, which he won by knockout against Anthony Joshua.

Dubois weighed 107.3 kg in 2023 when he was stopped by Usyk in their previous encounter. He was heavier in his last fight against Joshua, tipping the scales at 108.6 kg, and has now added almost 2 kg more.

The fight is historic, as the winner will hold all the championship belts in professional heavyweight boxing. Usyk has been pursuing undisputed status, including previously attempting to make a fight with Tyson Fury, and has already achieved this feat in the light heavyweight division.
