The heavyweight division is heating up as Oleksandr Usyk prepares to defend his unified titles against British challenger Daniel Dubois on August 26. The clash will take place in Wrocław, Poland, marking Usyk's first fight in the country since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) holds the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts after dethroning Anthony Joshua in 2021. The Ukrainian maestro faces Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs), the hard-hitting Londoner who earned his shot with an impressive TKO victory over Kevin Lerena last December.
