At the final weigh-in at BoxPark Wembley on 22/6, Usyk registered a record weight of 103 kg. The Ukrainian's previous heaviest was 102.5 kg, for his fight against Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia in 12/2024.

However, Usyk was still significantly lighter than Dubois, who weighed in at 110.6 kg. This was 4.5 kg heavier than his first encounter with Usyk, but still 2 kg lighter than Dubois' career-heaviest.

Dubois weighed 112 kg for his fight against compatriot Anthony Joshua on 21/9/2024. This was also Dubois' biggest career victory, knocking Joshua down four times en route to a fifth-round knockout to defend his IBF heavyweight title.

The weight difference is nothing new for Usyk, who has overcome heavier opponents like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury with his technical skill and agility.

Usyk and Dubois have completed all the necessary steps for their highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium today. Usyk holds the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles after two points victories over Tyson Fury. Dubois holds the IBF title after three wins against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua.

"I’m ready, I’m focused and I’m hungry. I’m going to win by any means necessary", Dubois said before leaving the stage.

Usyk is currently the number one heavyweight boxer. In 5/2024, the 38-year-old defeated Tyson Fury by decision to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era – WBA, IBF, WBC, and WBO.

Usyk was later stripped of the IBF title, so he only defended the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts against Fury. In their rematch in Saudi Arabia at the end of 2024, the Ukrainian again won by decision to retain his three titles.

Dubois has won 22 of his 24 professional fights, with 21 knockouts, a 95% knockout rate. One of his two losses came against Usyk, when he was knocked out in the ninth round challenging for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles in 8/2023.

Dubois is less well-known but 11 years younger than Usyk. "I’ve prepared well and I’ve reached another level. I will do whatever it takes to win. I’m hungry for glory and greatness," the British boxer emphasized.

Dubois could become the first British boxer to unify the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF titles since Lennox Lewis in 1999. "Now, I just want to get started. I'm going to write my own story. I'm going to take those belts. I’m going to be the winner", he said confidently.

The total purse for tonight's fight at Wembley is 202.5 million USD. Usyk will receive 65%, around 131.6 million USD. This is the highest purse of Usyk's career, surpassing the 105 million USD he received for his rematch with Tyson Fury.

Meanwhile, Dubois will earn 70.9 million USD. Compared to his previous fights, this is a significant financial leap for the British boxer, far exceeding the 17 million USD he received when he faced Anthony Joshua.
