Oleksandr Usyk will face Daniel Dubois in a highly anticipated rematch on July 19 at London's iconic Wembley Stadium, as the Ukrainian boxer seeks to unify all heavyweight titles for the second time in his career.
Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) enters the bout with an undefeated record and clear ambitions. The unified heavyweight champion, often called the "Ukrainian Cat" in boxing circles, will put his belts on the line against Britain's Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), nicknamed "Dynamite" for his impressive knockout power.
"This is another step in my journey to make history in the heavyweight division," Usyk might say about the upcoming showdown.
The fight is scheduled to begin at 11:45 PM Kyiv time. Boxing fans across Ukraine can watch the action live through the Megogo video platform, while international viewers can tune in via DAZN, TNT Sports, or Sky Sports.
Interestingly, bookmakers strongly favor the Ukrainian champion. According to GGBET, the official sponsor of the fight, Usyk's victory comes with odds of 1.27 compared to 3.57 for Dubois. Not surprising given their previous encounter!
Their first fight in August 2023 ended dramatically with Usyk securing a technical knockout in the ninth round. That bout became controversial when Dubois landed a low blow on Usyk during the fifth round - a moment that many fans still remember vividly.
By the way, this rematch comes amid significant changes in Usyk's career. The champion recently parted ways with his long-time promoter Alexander Krassyuk, a move that shocked many in the boxing community.
Adding to the pre-fight tension, Dubois' trainer has reportedly made disrespectful comments about the Ukrainian champion, potentially fueling Usyk's motivation heading into the July showdown.
Can "Dynamite" Dubois find a way to overcome the technically superior Usyk this time around, or will the Ukrainian champion once again prove why he remains undefeated in professional boxing?
