Usyk dominated cruiserweight (200 pounds) capturing the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO belts in that division as well. In October 2019 he officially made his debut in the heavyweight weight-class. Over the last two years he has wins over former heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua, once in September 2021 and a second in August 2022. In his most recent bout against Joshua, he checked in at 222.5 pounds.
Dubois held numerous British titles and the WBO heavyweight belt before suffering his first loss to Joe Joyce in November 2020. However, he has reeled off four straight wins since then and now gets a shot at the unified heavyweight crown. In his most recent bout he defeated Kevin Lerena last December by way of third-round TKO. For this fight he weighed in at 240.5 pounds.
Usyk is the betting favorite on Draftkings Sportsbook, coming in with -1000 odds to win while Dubois is a +600 underdog on the moneyline.
