He is believed to be preparing to face the Brit on August 12 in Poland after talks for a unification showdown broke down with Tyson Fury.

However Usyk, who bulked up to 221.5 lbs for his second victory over Anthony Joshua last year, looks to be a lot leaner now.

The undefeated 36-year-old posted some photos of him with his trainer during a gym session over the weekend.

And fans were left debating whether or not his transformation was a good or bad thing.

“Too small,” commented one fan in reaction to the snap.

Another called him a “small guy” as another said he was a “middleweight” after apparently shedding the pounds.

And a fellow concerned fan said: “He looks slim as hell.”

However, not everyone was trolling the champ and, in fact, many were left worried for Dubois having seen the trimmed down southpaw.

“Dubois is in trouble” predicted one.

Another wrote: “Dubois going to sleep in round five,” said another.

Although a fellow boxing fan declared: “Usyk is trying to look hard but can’t even knock down a glass of milk.”
