On July 19, the long-awaited rematch in the heavyweight division will take place at the legendary Wembley Arena in London. Once again, the undefeated Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk will face the Briton Daniel Dubois in the center of the ring. Usyk will defend his world champion titles under the versions of WBC, WBO, WBA, and IBO, while his opponent is the holder of the IBF belt. The honored coach of Ukraine Myron Markevych shared his prediction for the fight.

It would be better by knockout, but winning on points is also fine; the main thing is to win. He needs to win the last two fights and end his career on a good note.
Who do I consider the best boxer in the history of Ukraine? The Klitschko brothers and Usyk. If I have to choose one, I resonate the most with Usyk.
Usyk invited me and Ostap to his training camp; my grandson was also there. I saw how Sashko works. You can immediately feel that this is an athlete with a capital A. I would like all our footballers to see how Usyk works. This is how each one should train themselves if they want to become serious athletes and achieve something. Usyk is a very smart person. He has worked hard in life, sacrificed himself, and this is helping him now,” said Markevych.
