    In my search for any active heavyweights I’ve just spotted Lennox Lewis enter the building.

    I turned to watch him walk by, bumped into someone and as I was offering up an apology realised it’s none other than Dave Allen.

    That can only mean Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are moments away.

  6. 'Get that jab going'published at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 July

    Usyk v Dubois 2

    Lennox Lewis knows a thing or two about being undisputed.

    He tells BBC Sport what Daniel Dubois should do against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.

    "Get that jab going, push him against the ropes and start combinations - don't waste punches and stay eager. Remember he is the true heavyweight and needs to press him."

  7. 'Explosive' - Okolie v Lerenapublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 18 July

    Some quotes from the heavyweights. Doesn't Lawrence Okolie look huge by the way? Does heavyweight suit the former cruiserweight world champion?

    Lawrence Okolie: "I'm prepared for 10 hard rounds, but I'm expecting a stoppage."

    Kevin Lerena: "If I hurt him and get the opportunity, it's my duty to finish him. You're going to see an explosive, explosive fight."

  8. Can Dubois match Lewis?published at 15:34 British Summer Time 18 July

    Usyk v Dubois 2

    Can Daniel Dubois succeed where Tyson Fury failed?

    Fury had a shot at attempting to become undisputed heavyweight champion but came up short against Oleksandr Usyk.

    So now, step forward Dubois - who looks to follow in the footsteps of compatriot Lennox Lewis.

    Lewis, of course, became undisputed in the three-belt era, when he added the WBA and IBF belts to his WBC title by overcoming Evander Holyfield in a rematch.

    The world was gearing up for the new Millennium and I had just turned three.

    So much has changed in nearly 26 years but one thing remains - only one can be undisputed.

    Okolie v Lerena

    With the crushing weight of loss and grief pressing down on him, Kevin Lerena sank heavily into the couch in his dressing room.

    The South African heavyweight had just gone the distance in a razor-thin contest against Australian prospect Justis Huni in Saudi Arabia. He rocked Huni in the final round but could not land the decisive blow.

    For most boxers, coming so agonisingly close to victory is tough to swallow. For Lerena, though, there was a sense of deep relief.

    A day earlier he received the devastating news that his mother had died in South Africa.

    "I was just glad that the fight was over and I could go home and lay my mother to rest," he told BBC Sport.

    We've got the weigh-in for the co-main event up next before Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk take to the scales but we seem to be having a little break.

    I'm sure we'll be back under way very soon!

    Oleksandr Usyk's star power has been front and centre this week. The Ukrainian recently called the UK his second home and he's been getting the biggest cheers so far this week.

    Daniel Dubois might be from London but he's not the best talker and is yet to really breakthrough to the masses in the same way.

    Victory on Saturday to become the first Briton to hold undisputed status in the four-belt era might address that problem.

  16. Briton Edmondson ready for Lapin challengepublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 18 July

    Our very own Lewis Edmondson has a big task on his hands when he takes on Daniel Lapin. The undefeated light-heavyweight is the training partner of Oleksandr Usyk and is 11-0 in his career.

    Edmondson is also 11-0 so someone's O has got to go!

    Here he is talking about how much love he has for the UK.

    I know I’m not the only Brit who feels this way: I do not see a single route Dubois can take that’ll lead him to victory over Usyk. Usyk will get hit - as is the nature of boxing - but he has been hit more times and more accurately by better boxers. Come round 6, I expect Daniel to really struggle just as he did in the first fight.

    Daniel Dubois said yesterday that he is ready to write his own script on Saturday but he's been sticking very much to the same script all week.

    The Briton's favourite word has been chaos. He's not really given us much insight as his plans for beating Oleksandr Usyk.

    I'm banking on hearing him promise chaos at least once today.
