Boxer Oleksandr Usyk to defend Unified World Heavyweight Title against Daniel Dubois in Poland
Oleksandr Usyk's promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has confirmed that the Ukrainian boxing star will defend his WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight belts against Daniel Dubois in late August. The fight will take place in Poland at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw. Initially, Usyk was scheduled to face Tyson Fury for an undisputed showdown at Wembley Stadium in April, but negotiations fell through. Now, Usyk is excited about the opportunity to fight in Poland, where he won his first world title seven years ago. He expressed his gratitude to the Polish people for their sincere help to Ukraine, as many Ukrainians have found refuge in the country. In May, Dubois made a change in his training setup, parting ways with Shane McGuigan and now working with Don Charles, who previously trained British heavyweight Derek Chisora. With an unbeaten record of 20-0 (13), Usyk has established himself as the unified champion of the heavyweight division, following back-to-back victories against Anthony Joshua. On the other hand, Daniel Dubois will be fighting for the first time since successfully defending his WBA 'regular' belt with a third-round stoppage of Kevin Lerena in December. Dubois suffered a knee injury and was knocked down three times in the first round of that fight. Since his loss to Joe Joyce in November 2020, Dubois has made a comeback with four consecutive stoppage wins, bringing his professional record to 19-1 (18).

UK Finance baulks at proposed £20,000 upper limit for future Britcoin
In a technical paper issued for consultation in February, the Bank of England set out limits on individual holdings to prevent a run on commercial banks and dismissed blockchain as a viable technological option. "We judge that a limit of between £10,000 and £20,000 per individual is likely to strike an appropriate balance between managing risks and supporting wide usability of the digital pound," states the paper.
