Rematch for Revenge: Usyk and Dubois Face Off for Undisputed Title


Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois set to clash for the undisputed heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on July 19. Get the latest updates.



Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will face off for the undisputed heavyweight title at London's Wembley Stadium on July 19th. The bout, announced by promoter Queensberry, will unify the four major world titles in the division.


Usyk, an undefeated Ukrainian, currently holds the WBC, WBA, and WBO belts, while British fighter Dubois holds the IBF championship. The winner of the July 19th fight will claim the undisputed heavyweight title.


Oleksandr Usyk previously faced Daniel Dubois in August 2023, winning via a ninth-round knockout in a controversial bout. He vacated the IBF belt after that fight.


Usyk is set to face Dubois again, and he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to fight for the undisputed championship. “I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship,” Usyk said. “Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt - now I want it back.”


Daniel Dubois is eager for revenge against Oleksandr Usyak, saying, “I should have won the first fight and was denied by the judgement of the referee, so I will make no mistake this time around in front of my people at the national stadium in my home city.” Dubois added, “I am a superior and more dangerous fighter now and Usyk will find this out for himself on July 19.”


The highly anticipated bout will be broadcast live on DAZN Worldwide and is sponsored by Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Season. Notably, it will mark the first time an undisputed heavyweight contest has been held on British soil since Lennox Lewis's reign as champion in 1999.
