During the weigh-in at BoxPark Wembley, Usyk attempted to assert mental dominance over Dubois by stepping to the front of the stage and blocking Dubois from view, flexing his muscles to the crowd. Dubois appeared perturbed by Usyk's antics and left the stage shaking his head. Both fighters will meet in a rematch at Wembley Stadium on July 19, with Usyk being undefeated in 23 professional contests and Dubois holding 22 wins in 24 fights, facing the pressure of being the B-side in this matchup.
In their initial meeting, the gas tank of Aaron Jeffery carried him far and allowed him to impose his will for all fifteen minutes, earning an obvious unanimous decision win while handing Rosta his first loss as a professional fighter.
