This weekend, Daniel Dubois will attempt to pull off a major upset in the heavyweight division when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk. The 25-year-old British fighter has experienced only one loss in his professional career so far, a defeat against Joe Joyce three years ago. However, Dubois has since put together a four-fight winning streak and obtained the WBA regular title. Despite his recent success, Dubois is considered a heavy underdog going into the clash with Usyk, which is set to take place in Poland's Tarczynski Arena.
Usyk's Impressive Resume
Oleksandr Usyk, a 36-year-old Ukrainian fighter, is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time. As an amateur, Usyk won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games. He then transitioned to the professional ranks and quickly earned a world title in just his 10th fight. Usyk later became the undisputed champion in the cruiserweight division before moving up to the heavyweight division, where he dethroned Anthony Joshua. In their rematch last year, Usyk came out victorious once again, solidifying his place as a dominant force in the sport.

Career Earnings: Usyk vs Dubois
While the exact net worth of both fighters has not been officially reported, estimates suggest that Usyk's career earnings are around £60 million. A significant portion of this came from his most recent fight, the rematch with Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia, where he earned approximately £42 million. Usyk also made £15 million from the first Joshua fight in London and £1.8 million for his bout with Derek Chisora in 2020. Before his heavyweight debut against Chaz Witherspoon, Usyk had never received a seven-figure sum. However, his highly-anticipated clash with Tony Bellew in 2018 saw him earn £750,000.
In contrast, Daniel Dubois has reached the £1 million mark for just one of his fights to date, which was against Joe Joyce in 2020. As a result, his career earnings are estimated to be around £5 million. Dubois began earning six-figure sums when he faced Richard Lartey in April 2019. Prior to the Joyce fight, his purses ranged between £100,000 and £500,000. For the Joyce bout, Dubois earned £1.75 million, his highest payday to date. Since then, he has earned an additional £1.8 million across four fights, and his upcoming fight with Usyk is expected to bring in around £1.6 million.

Conclusion: Combined Net Worth
After their clash on Saturday night, the combined net worth of Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois is set to exceed £70 million. While Usyk has amassed the majority of this wealth, Dubois has made significant strides in his career and is on track to increase his earnings with each fight. The outcome of their upcoming bout could have a substantial impact on their respective net worth and future opportunities in the sport.
