Usyk vs Dubois 2: date, start time, odds and how to watch this Saturday

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will finally settle their score in a huge heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium on Saturday July 19.

The pair first met in August 2023, when Usyk stopped Dubois in the ninth round to retain his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles, but not without controversy.

Dubois believed he had floored the Ukrainian in round five with a body shot, but referee Luis Pabon ruled it a low blow. That decision gave Usyk up to five minutes to recover, and he used three minutes and 45 seconds before going on to dominate the fight, dropping Dubois in the eighth and stopping him a round later.

Daniel Dubois has always maintained that punch was a legal shot and had it counted he would be the only man to have scored a knockdown against Usyk. Dynamite is also convinced that he should have won the fight thanks to that shot, although Usyk may well have beaten the count and been able to continue without the additional time.

Both men have gone from strength to strength in the intervening years and the rematch will be for the undisputed world heavyweight championship. After beating Dubois, Usyk broke another Briton’s heart as he took the WBC title away from Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era.

Dubois responded to that defeat by stopping American Jarrell Miller and he then upset the odds to overcome Filip Hrgovic with an eighth round TKO. The latter win saw him become the interim IBF champion and he was elevated to full champion when Usyk vacated ahead of a rematch with Fury.

Usyk claimed another points win over Fury, who has since retired, and he hasn’t fought since that bout in December 2024. The 38-year-old southpaw holds the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles and has a 23-0 record with 14 stoppages.

After becoming the full IBF champion, Dubois claimed the biggest win of his career by stunning Anthony Joshua with a brutal fifth-round stoppage in September 2024. Dubois was set to defend his belt against Joseph Parker in February but had to pull out of that bout due to injury and his record is 22-2, with 21 of his victories coming inside the distance.
