has viciously shoved heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk during their first face-off .

On Sunday evening, it was announced that the pair would go head-to-head at Wembley Stadium, London, on July 29 with all four titles on the line in what promises to be a historic night of action. “I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship,” said Usyk. “Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt - now I want it back.”

“As for Dubois, the Brit said: "This is the fight I wanted and demanded and now I get my chance for revenge against Oleksandr Usyk,” said Dubois. “I should have won the first fight and was denied by the judgement of the referee, so I will make no mistake this time around in front of my people at the national stadium in my home city. I am a superior and more dangerous fighter now and Usyk will find this out for himself on July 19. I would like to thank my promoter Frank for making this happen for me and I intend to repay him by becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.”
