Overview

  • Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are scheduled to fight for the undisputed heavyweight title on July 12, 2025, at Wembley Stadium.
  • This marks their second meeting, following a contentious 2023 bout where Usyk stopped Dubois amid controversy over a low-blow ruling.
  • Usyk remains undefeated, with two significant victories over Tyson Fury in 2024, securing his place as the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years.
  • Daniel Dubois, elevated to IBF champion after Usyk vacated the title, retained it with a knockout win over Anthony Joshua in September 2024 at Wembley.
  • Despite mandatory challenges from Derek Chisora and scheduling complications, the rematch takes precedence, promising to redefine the heavyweight boxing landscape.
