Anthony Joshua is set to face Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title after Oleksandr Usyk confirmed he will vacate the belt.
Usyk became the undisputed champion, holding the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF titles, after defeating Tyson Fury on points.
He announced via Instagram that he will relinquish his IBF belt ahead of the Joshua-Dubois bout, scheduled for September 21 at Wembley Stadium.
