In a fight today, Ukrainian Olexandr Usyk will be defending his three belts against a ten-years-younger British Daniel Dubois. The match was necessitated after Dubois knocked out the next best after Usyk.

This match is live now in Poland after boasts and predictions made both by Daniel Dubois, who is counting on his youthful agility, and boxers and trainers. A particular well-known trainer has said that the younger man was no match for the WBO, WBA and IBF champion.

Dubois is in for killing two birds with a stone if he grabs three belts from fighting just a man instead of three men. Knowing the league Usyk functions in, he would be well prepared, but so would Usyk.

In a rather too-straightforward statement by the twenty-five years old, he had called Usyk an old man whose era had passed.

I feel like he’s had his best days. He’s had his career, he’s made his money and he’s had 300 amateur fights. His best days are done. It’s my time now. It’s time for me to show I’m a young man – you can’t let this old man outwork you! I’m 25 for Christ sake. I’ve got to step my game up, and this fight is all about stepping my level up.

Are you really going to let this old man take this away from you?

It is possible the younger man might come to learn that apart from strength and precision are other things that has kept his 20-0 opponent on top this far. If he does not step up his techniques and understand his opponent, he might have set himself up for after-match ridicule.

There is no rematch clause attached to this fight. The winner gets the belts and moves on.

It is being aired exclusively by talkSPORT, but far audience who could not experience it through the said medium can do so through internet radio by tuning to Virgin Radio UK.

What do you think. Is Usyk on the path of a showdown?
