Usyk slams claims that his age could be decisive factor during Saturday’s bout

Date: Jul 18, 2025

Oleksandr Usyk has slammed claims that his age could be the decisive factor in Saturday's undisputed world heavyweight title clash with Daniel Dubois.

Reigning WBA, WBO and WBC champion Usyk is 38, 11 years older than IBF belt holder Dubois. That significant disparity has sparked suggestions the Ukrainian will struggle to go the distance against his 27-year-old British rival in the clash at Wembley.

But Usyk strongly disagreed with that assessment when asked if he might be vulnerable because of the age gap.
