Preview, Prediction And Odds For The Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubious
With a record of 19 wins and just 1 loss, the 25-year-old dynamo, Daniel Dubois, boasts an impressive 18 knockout victories. Bouncing back after his sole career defeat to Joe Joyce in 2020, Dubois went on a tear, knocking out Bogdan Dinu, Joe Cusumano, Trevor Bryan, and Kevin Lerena consecutively.
