Daniel Dubois described himself as the "king slayer" and promised to "train like a beast" for his world-title defence against Anthony Joshua."I’m aiming to be the best. AJ has been the king for a long time but on the night I need to be the king slayer," he said.
On Tuesday, Usyk – who held all four recognised world titles – announced he would vacate the IBF belt. "I feel fresh. But I don't drink, I don't smoke, that's my only advice. Thank God I don’t get into antics outside of boxing," he said. "This is probably the most stacked card in British boxing history," Queensberry's Warren said, while Matchroom’s Hearn described it as the "biggest night" the sport has ever seen in the country.
Despite the late notice, there was a huge turnout: testament to the card, lure of Joshua and an all-British heavyweight world title fight.
