Canelo Alvarez Wagers Half a Million Dollars on Usyk Prevailing Over Dubois
A highly anticipated rematch between Aleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois is set to take place on Friday, July 19, at Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom. The first fight ended in a knockout victory for Usyk in the ninth round, but the upcoming bout is expected to be a tougher challenge for the Ukrainian boxer.
Usyk, who has been hailed as an absolute boxing legend due to his several significant wins, is favoured to win the rematch by majority decision, according to expert analysis and fight history. This prediction takes into account Usyk’s ability to maintain excellent performance in the ring, despite Dubois being a formidable and improving opponent.
Notable Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez has shown his confidence in Usyk by placing a bet of half a million dollars on the Ukrainian boxer to win against Dubois. Alvarez admires Usyk's focus and dedication, both boxers sharing a mentality and dedication that sees them take on opponents from various weight classes.
Usyk has cemented his dominance in the heavyweight division, having defeated both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury without giving in a single fight to either one of them. There were allegations of fight manipulation and poor ruling in Usyk's close first win over Fury, but he proved his dominance in the second fight.
Usyk, who moved into professional boxing at a relatively late age, is known for his strong stamina, technical skills, and strategic mindset. He has purposefully shifted weight divisions upwards to ensure a challenging fight in each match, a tactic that has served him well in his career.
The rematch between Usyk and Dubois promises to be an exciting one, with Usyk being the favourite to win, but the bout is anticipated to be competitive and somewhat contentious. The odds at BetMGM currently stand at -300 for Usyk, reflecting the confidence in his abilities.
Canelo Alvarez, a boxing legend in his own right, has placed a significant bet on Usyk, further reinforcing the favoured status of Usyk in this matchup. As the rematch approaches, boxing fans around the world eagerly await the outcome of this highly anticipated bout.
