British heavyweight boxer Daniel Dubois has declared that he is fully prepared and determined to dethrone Oleksandr Usyk in their upcoming undisputed world title bout scheduled for Saturday.

In an interview with Fox Sports ahead of the high-profile showdown, Dubois emphasized that he isn’t entering the ring merely for a fight, but to carve out a legacy in boxing history.

“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,” said Dubois, who holds 21 knockouts in 22 career victories, with just two losses.

While acknowledging the significant challenge posed by Usyk, the reigning WBA, WBO, and WBC champion, Dubois said he is motivated by a desire for greatness and confident in his preparation.

“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 those 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,” he stated.

At 26, Dubois is aiming to hand Usyk his first professional defeat and claim all three belts, potentially delivering one of the sport’s most significant upsets in recent years.
