And those in attendance in Wroclaw can get tickets for as cheap as €11 which works out at £9.
In comparison, the cheapest seat for Anthony Joshua’s next fight at the O2 Arena against Dillian Whyte is £40.
Usyk, 36, was ordered into the title defence when an undisputed decider with Tyson Fury, 34, collapsed earlier in the year.
And as WBA “regular” champion, Dubois, 25, is guaranteed a shot at the full belt.
Usyk became world champion for the first time in Poland, beating Krzysztof Glowacki for the WBO cruiserweight title in 2016.
So he hopes it continues to be a happy hunting ground when he returns to defend against Dubois.
He said: “I am very glad that we have the opportunity to organise my fight in Poland, where I won my first world title seven years ago.
“I want to thank the Polish people who are helping Ukraine so sincerely.

Dubois added: “He is a great fighter and I do respect him, but it’s my time now.
“I’m going to shock the world and show people how good Daniel Dubois really is.”
