British boxing champion Daniel Dubois is still reeling from his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2023, a fight he thought he should have won.
A rematch was inevitable, and we’re thrilled that Usyk, the undisputed heavyweight champion, has agreed to another bout with Britain’s top heavyweight fighter.
Usyk proved to the world that he’s the best of his generation with his recent win over Tyson Fury. If he beats Dubois, he may retire and write his name in history books as one of the greatest heavyweight champions ever.
With everything on the line for Dubois, read our fight preview as we look ahead to Usyk v Dubois this July and learn how to bet on the action at Parimatch Sportsbook.
When and Where is Usyk v Dubois?
Usyk will face Dubois in a rematch for the undisputed heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, July 19, 2025.
The fight was announced at the end of April, giving Dubois the chance for revenge in front of a sold-out home crowd.
What Happened the Last Time Usyk Fought Dubois?
Usyk and Dubois last met in Wroclaw, Poland, on 26th August, 2023. Usyk won the fight with a ninth-round KO to preserve his unbeaten record, but the result doesn’t tell the complete story.
Dubois knocked Usyk down in the fifth, but the referee ruled it a low blow. Many, including Camp Dubois, felt the punch was legal and should have counted as a KO win for the British champion.
Still, across the fight as a whole, Usyk out-landed Dubois in every round and was seen by many as the deserved winner.
Overall, it was a memorable heavyweight encounter, and if this meeting is anything to go by, the rematch should be just as exciting.

Dynamite Dubois’ win over Anthony Joshua in 2024 shocked the British public. He was considered the underdog going into this fight at Wembley, but he was superior in each round before his fifth-round KO of former champion Joshua.
He enters this rematch against Usyk with a record of 22-2 and aims to become one of the greatest British boxers of all time. He has formidable power and has won 21 of his 22 professional fights by KO.
Many believe that if he is to beat Usyk, he must unleash this power and down the Ukrainian, who has a more sophisticated and varied approach in the ring. If the fight goes the distance, Usyk will likely score a points victory over Dubois.
While Dubois remains one fight away from greatness, Usyk is already one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. The Ukrainian fighter has held the unified heavyweight championship since 2021 and boasts a 100% record from 23 professional bouts.
Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, and his two recent victories over Tyson Fury solidified his reputation as the best of the best.
Though he was on top the last time he fought Dubois, the British fighter caused him significant problems in Poland. So, while Usyk will enter the ring at Wembley as the favourite, Dubois’ power could yield a surprise result.
