After much anticipation, Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will finally face off again in their highly anticipated rematch. This thrilling heavyweight showdown is not to be missed!
Dubois, known as the “Greenwich Gladiator,” has been on a tear lately, including his dominant victory over British hero Anthony Joshua to retain his IBF heavyweight title. This win marked his third consecutive victory, following a TKO over Jarrell Miller in December 2023 and a similar result against Croatian star Filip Hrgovic just a year later.
However, Dubois’ last loss came at the hands of Usyk in a controversial bout. In their first meeting in August 2023, Dubois seemed to be on his way to victory after dropping Usyk with a body shot in the fifth round. Yet, the punch was ruled a low blow by the referee, Luis Pablon, who gave Usyk the five-minute recovery time – and more. Usyk would go on to dominate the fight, ultimately stopping Dubois with a brutal 9th-round KO.
The Rematch Date:
Usyk vs Dubois 2 has now been confirmed for Saturday, July 19, at Wembley Stadium, a week later than originally scheduled. The anticipated ring-walk time is expected around 10 PM BST, depending on the undercard.
Wembley, with its massive 90,000 seating capacity, will host this colossal fight.

What’s At Stake:
The fight promises to be an electrifying battle for the heavyweight title. Dubois has made it clear that he’s hungry for revenge, stating, “This is the fight I wanted and demanded, and now I get my chance for revenge. I should have won the first fight and was denied by the referee’s judgement. I’m a superior and more dangerous fighter now, and Usyk will find that out for himself.”
Usyk, on the other hand, responded more calmly: “I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship. Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt – now I want it back.”
Undercard:
While the full undercard details are yet to be revealed, the headline fight will undoubtedly be the Usyk vs Dubois rematch.
