Usyk supported Azovstal defenders at the open weigh-in.


Oleksandr Usyk, who holds titles in the heavyweight division under the WBC, WBO, WBA, and IBO versions, is preparing for a fight against IBF champion Daniel Dubois. The meeting will take place on July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London, and before that, the boxers held an open training session as part of media week.
Usyk supported the fighters
During the training, Usyk wore a T-shirt with the message 'Free Azovstal defenders', expressing support for the fighters who were captured during the clashes in Mariupol in 2022. In the fight against Dubois, who has significant victories over Miller, Hrgovic, and Joshua, the British opponent appears more confident.
Dubois exhibited aggressive behavior, triggering Usyk's old usual grimace during the official weigh-in. At the same Time, Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk has opened up possible participation in the upcoming 2026 football competitions, despite doping issues. Meanwhile, former Dynamo player Andriy Voronin is wanted in Brazil.
As part of the media week before the Usyk-Dubois fight, the boxers showcased good form and expressed support for various social initiatives. It's clear that intense preparation continues, and the boxers are ready to conquer Wembley with their incredible bouts.
