This bout was not just a fight; it was a testament to Dubois' rebirth in the boxing world, marking his ascent as a formidable top level contender.

If the fight is fully sanctioned as an interim title bout, the winner will be upgraded to full champion if Oleksandr Usyk is stripped of his IBF belt.

Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois are looking for the opportunity to face Anthony Joshua in September and potentially challenge for the undisputed title.
