It's been almost a year since Oleksandr Usyk retained his three world heavyweight titles against Anthony Joshua, but now he is finally set for his fight of 2023.
The first half of the year has been a frustrating one for Usyk as he attempted to strike a deal to face WBC title-holder Tyson Fury in an undisputed clash, but after accepting numerous offers, negotiations collapsed.
Now Usyk will need to take care of his mandatories if he wants to keep his world title belts, and his first mandatory challenger is Daniel Dubois who is the WBA 'regular' heavyweight champion.
