Ajmer has been chosen as the protest venue as the Rajasthan Public Service Commission head office is in Ajmer. “We will try to register FIRs and release white paper on paper leaks while carrying out Aakrosh Yatra,” Singh told ET. The party has planned to hold a large public meeting in Jaipur on August 1, where apart from senior state leaders, some national leaders too will address the rally.

The fight will take place in Poland at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw.

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).
