The bout takes place in Wroclaw, Poland and will be shown exclusively live on TNT Sports Box Office in the UK and Ireland.

Oleksandr Usyk puts his IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts on the line against WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois on August 26; a fight which boxing fans in the UK and Ireland can watch exclusively live on TNT Sports Box Office.

It is a tantalising match-up between the power of the Brit Dubois against the notoriously quick and ruthless Ukrainian, as the two go head-to-head in Wroclaw, Poland.

Dubois will be entering the ring for the first time since December after beating Kevin Lerena in a third-round stoppage.

That victory was by no means straightforward though, with the 25-year-old battling a knee injury and being floored three times in the first round.

His record is 19-1 with 18 wins by knockout, with that solitary defeat coming against Joe Joyce in December 2020.

Dubois currently holds the secondary WBA title after stopping Trevor Bryan in 2022, allowing him to make this mandatory challenge.

Usyk will hope to power his way past Dubois and then turn his attention to what would be a mouthwatering heavyweight unification fight against Tyson Fury, who is facing former UFC champion Francis Ngannou this October 28 in Saudi Arabia.

What time does Usyk v Dubois start?

The coverage gets underway at 18:00 UK time.

The undercard features Ukraine's Denys Berinchyk, who looks to defend his WBO International lightweight title against Sweden's Anthony Yigit. Elsewhere, middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz takes on Ukrainian Dmytro Mytrofanov.
