Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois prize money as | Boxing News

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will benefit from the largest paydays of their careers regardless of the consequence of their Wembley mega-fight. All 4 belts can be on the road as WBA, WBO and WBC holder Usyk and Dubois, the IBF champion, meet for the correct to be referred to as undisputed heavyweight champion.

Usyk was victorious during their first assembly in Poland back in 2023, albeit in controversial fashion. The British star and his workforce have been left incensed after he was adjudged to have floored his opponent with a low blow while the Ukrainian was given 4 minutes to get better. Since that defeat, Dubois has rebuilt his profession with spectacular knockout wins against Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic before a devastating knockout victory over Anthony Joshua final September. Meanwhile, Usyk has recorded back-to-back wins over Tyson Fury, who may come out of retirement to face Saturday’s winner.

A colossal purse has been agreed for the struggle, which even outstrips what the fighters made in either Fury vs Usyk bout final 12 months. Estimates differ but the entire purse for Usyk vs Dubois 2 is believed to be in the area of £151.3million. Usyk will take home around two-thirds of the purse, just under £100m, while Dubois has secured a £50m payday.

Those figures dwarf what they made from their first struggle two years in the past, when Usyk reportedly made £4.4m, with Dubois selecting up much less than half that quantity.

Meanwhile, the purse for the first struggle between Usyk and Fury was around £115m, of which the Gypsy King took £85m, with Usyk banking the remaining. For the second struggle, the purse rose to roughly £150m, with Usyk securing more than half courtesy of his victory in the first struggle. However, those figures seem to have been surpassed by Saturday’s Wembley extravaganza.

Dubois has vowed to do whatever it takes to turn out to be the first British undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000. He mentioned: “Right now I just want to get it on, I’m going to write my own script. They have their own script, I am going to write my own and win these belts and be the man.

“I’ve prepared right. I’m just on a different level now, I’m ready to come through whatever I need to on Saturday and get all them belts. I am chasing glory and I am chasing greatness. This is history-making and I have just got to do a real demolition job. I’m hungry and ready for it.”

Usyk mentioned: “Listen, I respect this guy, this young guy. This guy is motivated but I am too. I am not an old guy. 38 is not old, you know? We will see on Saturday.”
