JAKARTA The world heavyweight champion of IBF, Daniel Dubois, is confident that he can beat Oleksandr Usyk in their clashes this month because on paper he is ageless.
Usyk's fight against Dubois for the undisputed world title will take place on July 19, 2025 at Wembley Stadium, London, England.
Dubois came into this fight with revenge because previously in their first clash in 2023, he lost to knockout (KO) in the ninth round.
"He is a 38-year-old man. No matter how fit and feeling young during training, I need to show that age will affect him."
"I will show what a 27-year-old heavyweight boxer can do. I'm looking forward to showing that," Dubois said.

Dubois won the IBF belt title against Filip Hrgovic in June 2024. He later defended the belt when he beat Anthony Joshua three months later.
Dubois' belief was at the highest point after he defeated Joshua in the fifth round. The victory made him feel very ready to play Usyk and win.
"I am a current world champion, but I feel I still have a lot to do. I haven't achieved my full potential so I have to take the belt from Usyk," he said.
Usyk currently holds the WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC championship belts. He managed to keep the belts in a rematch against Tyson Fury in December 2024.
Prior to that, the Ukrainian champion came out as the undisputed world champion in May 2024 defeating the same opponent in a fierce 12 round match.
