Oleksandr Usyk is coming off impressive back-to-back victories over Anthony Joshua the past two years.
And while one current heavyweight contender likes Usyk to be victorious against Daniel Dubois on August 26, he is giving Dubois a "puncher's chance" to pull off the upset and snatch the unified heavyweight championship of the world.
“I think it's a good fight. It's nice for Usyk to fight in Poland. Next to Ukraine," Otto Wallin began telling VegasInsider recently.
"It will probably be nice for him to have a lot of Ukrainians there who want to see him. It's nice that he brings the fight there. He has had to have all his fights really abroad in different countries, but now he gets to fight pretty much in his backyard. I'm sure it's a big motivation for him.
“And with Dubois, I think he is the underdog, of course. But he's a big guy. A big heavyweight and he's a big puncher. So you can always give him the puncher's chance to win the fight. But I think that Usyk is, of course, the better fighter and he looked great against Joshua.
“But you got to remember, too, that he didn't look that good against [Derek] Chisora and [Chazz] Witherspoon, which was his first fight with the heavyweights.
“So we'll have to wait and see how he looks in this fight. But of course, Usyk will be the favorite."
Usyk's record stands as a pristine 20-0 with 13 of those victories coming by the way of knockout.
Dubois is 19-1 with 18 knockouts. His lone loss came against Joe Joyce via 10th-round KO in November 2020.
