Dubois was asked about undisputed super middleweight world champion Canelo Alvarez placing a $500,000 bet on Usyk coming out on top.
“It don’t mean nothing me,” Dubois said at Thursday’s press conference when he was asked about Álvarez’s expensive prediction. “It don’t mean s*** to me. He’s going to lose his money. From now on I’m just focused.”
Eleven years the Ukrainian’s junior, Dubois is determined to get the win he feels was robbed from him in the first fight. The 27-year-old landed hard to the body and forced Usyk to take a knee, but the shot was ruled below the belt by the referee, who afforded the Cat a full five minutes to recover. He then went on to stop Dubois in the ninth round.
“Listen, I respect this young guy,” Usyk said of Dubois. “He’s motivated but I am too. I’m not an old guy. 38 is not old. We will see on Saturday – it’s God’s will.”
There was some confusion at the press conference as the Ukrainian’s team constantly repeated the phrase “Don’t push the horses” in English. If Dubois wanted his opponent to buckle, he was out of luck.
