Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois Rematch Fight Set for Undisputed Heavyweight Title

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will meet again this year to determine the undisputed heavyweight champion.

Per BBC Sports' Bobbie Jackson, the two will square off at Wembley Stadium on July 19. Usyk and Dubois last met in August of 2023 when Usyk won via a ninth-round stoppage.

Usyk, 38, has a 23-0 record with 14 knockouts, his most recent win coming against Tyson Fury in 12 rounds in December.

He currently holds the WBC, WBA and WBO belts and can become the four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion for the second time in his career with a win over Dubois. Usyk won the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles in 2021 when he defeated Anthony Joshua in a unanimous decision.

Dubois, 27, has a 22-2 career record with 21 knockouts. Since losing to Usyk in 2023, he's won three consecutive fights against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgović and Anthony Joshua, the most recent coming in September of last year. The only other loss of his career came against Joe Joyce in 2020.

Usyk and Dubois' fight in 2023 ended under controversial circumstances as Dubois was knocked out in the ninth round after recovering from what was ruled a low blow by the official.

"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 said, per Reuters.

"I am a superior and more dangerous fighter now and Usyk will find this out for himself on July 19."

Usyk's win over Dubois gave him the WBA, IBF and WBO belts and set him up to become the undisputed champion when he beat Fury in May of last year.

"I'm grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship," Usyk, who has a 23-0 record, said in the statement. "Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt — now I want it back."
