ISTANBUL (AA) - Oleksandr Usyk will defend his world heavyweight title against Briton Daniel Dubois in Poland.

The clash will take place at the 24,000-capacity Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw on August 26.

After a thrilling rematch in Saudi Arabia, the 36-year-old Usyk edged out Anthony Joshua to retain his world title in a split-point decision.

The fight will be the undefeated big man's first title defense since he dethroned Joshua to retain the World Boxing Association (Super), International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Organization – and " The Ring magazine" belts back in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia last year.

The 25-year-old Dubois won 19 of his 20 bouts, with 18 knockouts, as he only suffered a loss against Joe Joyce.

Usyk of Ukraine is unbeaten in 20 professional matches with 13 knockouts.
