Usyk was victorious during their first meeting in Poland back in 2023, but Dubois has rebuilt his career with impressive knockouts wins against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and compatriot Anthony Joshua during the past 18 months.
With the 38-year-old Usyk coming towards the end of his own golden period in the heavyweight ranks, Dubois, 27, is confident his time is now as he attempts to become Britain's first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
'I have resurrected myself, resurrected my career and now we're on a roll, ' Dubois told the BBC.
'Unstoppable, I feel like I can't be beat right now. I'm in the prime of my life and I'm going to go through whatever I have to do,
'I've got to beat him this time and I am going to win. I am going to cause chaos, knockout, by any means possible. I am ready. Man, I'm ready 100 per cent.
'As soon as the bell rings my whole approach is to seek and destroy, bring chaos, get the victory and seize the moment.'
Dubois and Usyk will cross paths again on Wednesday as they take part in open workout sessions at BOXPARK Wembley.

Oleksandr Usyk baffles Daniel Dubois with four-word message
Both Usyk and Dubois had the opportunity to trade barbs one last time before their heavyweight rematch - but the Brit was left confused by the Ukrainian's comments at the pre-fight press conference Oleksandr Usyk left Daniel Dubois rather confused after he sent the Brit and his team a rather bizarre message ahead of their blockbuster showdown. The pair are scheduled to go head-to-head for a second time at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. Two years ago, it was Usyk who would go on to get the victory - having scored a stoppage win in the ninth round. However, 'Triple D' has come leaps and bounds since the defeat. Dubois has scored impressive knockout wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic and the Brit comes into the dust-up off the back of a career-defining win over Anthony Joshua last September. Since the fight was made official, 'Triple D' has cut a confident figure as he looks to level the series. Both men met at a pre-fight press conference on Thursday afternoon at Wembley Stadium - with Usyk using the opportunity to try and get under his rival's skin, but it backfired majorly. The Ukrainian warned his foe: "Don't push the horses!" Dubois and his team were left confused by the message and spent a good few seconds trying decipher exactly what was hurled at them. Usyk heads into fight night with all the bragging rights as he looks to settle the series once and for all. After scoring a knockout victory in the first clash, the Ukrainian is hoping for yet another statement win on Saturday. The 38-year-old - who is a man of very few words - was quick to give his prediction for the clash. When asked whether he plans to finish Dubois again, Usyk replied: "Yeah, I believe this!" 'Triple D' was ultimately asked the same question and offered a slightly more significant response. "I am going to make it a great fight. I am looking forward to the fight, a great fight and I am up for it. I feel like - at the moment - I am at the peak of my powers and it is going to be a great performance."

"He was born that way (confident). The way it has been written... the universe, here we are today. He is the current IBF heavyweight champion. Remarkable," he said. "At a mere age of 27. If you really think about what this young man has experienced to be where he is today, the sacrifices he has always made and still making, it is a prime example for any young person who wants to come into the industry, to follow and to copy what this young man here has done." He added: "I have been blessed to be inherited to work with this young prime athlete. It is all for a reason. And, in my opinion, he has been destined to be here today, he has been destined to do on Saturday what almost was deemed the impossible. The impossible will become the possible, that is why we are here!" When is Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois? The rematch between Usyk and Dubois is scheduled for Saturday, 19 July, at Wembley Stadium.

Rory Darge sets Scotland target under his leadership
Scotland pulled off victory in New Zealand in the first match of the Pacific adventure when they beat the Maori All Blacks but were on the end of a 29-14 defeat by Fiji last weekend. Rory Darge is feeling the added responsibility of a captain as Scotland bid to ensure their summer tour is judged a success. They close their summer schedule in Auckland on Friday when they take on Samoa and Darge is determined to ensure those outside the camp see the progress made off the pitch. The 25-year-old has shared captaincy duties with Finn Russell in the past two Guinness Six Nations tournaments and has relished leading on his own with the fly-half on British and Irish Lions duty. 'It's something that I feel like I've enjoyed more and more, leading the team in some sort of way,' the Glasgow flanker said. 'And whatever way it is, I'm obviously happy to do it. 'Being given the honour of captain is something that I'll never take for granted. I'm just enjoying it, I'm enjoying the challenges of it as well. Read more: Scotland handed lowly Denmark allocation as thousands of Tartan Army to miss out Who impressed as Celtic ramp up pre-season preparations with Sporting CP win 'Obviously it was a frustrating performance last weekend and when you're the captain you maybe feel that more on yourself. It's something that I think I'm just starting to grow in. 'I suppose that's what makes last Saturday more frustrating. I don't think we really gave the tour justice and that's why this Friday is so important. 'It's been great from everyone involved. The connections that we've had and the quality time we've spent together. 'The time difference means that not a lot of people are up at the same time as you from back home. So your companions out here are the only ones you really spend any time with. 'It's great for us to spend that time together. That's what made last Saturday more frustrating. But it puts more pressure on us this Friday to give a performance that the tour deserves.' The manner of Scotland's defeat in Suva was all the more frustrating after picking up three yellow cards – two of them for Darcy Graham – and conceding 15 penalties. 'Watching it back, a few penalties for different reasons and errors and stuff that's in our control, that really gave Fiji momentum,' Darge said. 'It was stuff that we could have avoided. So there's a frustration off the back of that performance, but there's also an excitement about the challenge we've got ahead. We know Samoa are going to be really tough opposition. 'Right at the start of this tour we were talking about how not many of us have played in New Zealand. 'Not many Scottish teams can say they've played in New Zealand. Not many teams can say they've come and won in New Zealand. I think the team that played against Maori All Blacks, that was a massive win. It's a massive motivation for us to go and do something similar on Friday. 'And to play at Eden Park will be really special. 'It's something that you probably don't fully appreciate – the history and culture of it – until you go to the stadium. 'I'm just talking on experience with other stadiums, playing at Twickenham for the first time or playing at Paris for the first time, when you're there and you see the historic moments up on the wall. I've heard really good things about Eden Park from that point of view.'
