Form & Recent Fights:
- Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) – Beat Fury twice in 2024 (SD, UD) to become and remain undisputed; last lossless run spanning a decade. Ring IQ, footwork and stamina remain elite despite turning 38, which a lot of people have questioned his age which you can read about here.
- Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) – Rebuilt spectacularly after 2023 defeat: three straight stoppages (Miller, Hrgovic, Joshua) and claims the IBF belt. At 27 he is bigger, stronger and far more aggressive than the version Usyk beat.

Why does the Usyk v Dubois rematch matter?
The pair first met in August 2023, when Usyk retained his titles after a ninth-round stoppage and a still-disputed low-blow incident. Two years on, the rivalry resumes with even higher stakes:
- Undisputed credentials – Usyk now holds the WBA (Super), WBO, WBC, IBO and Ring belts; Dubois brings the IBF title he prised away via a stellar run culminating in a stoppage of Anthony Joshua at Wembley last September.
- Red-hot momentum – Usyk has twice out-pointed Tyson Fury since their first meeting; Dubois has blasted through Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Joshua, knocking the latter down four times.
- Bad blood unresolved – Dubois insists the 2023 “low blow” was legal. “I was robbed,” he said this week, promising “a bloodbath” at Wembley.
- Legacy at stake – Should Usyk win, he becomes a two-time undisputed champion; Dubois can become the first Briton to hold all four major heavyweight belts simultaneously.
What Comes Next for Usyk & Dubois:
- If Usyk wins: He eyes either a lucrative trilogy with Tyson Fury in early 2026 or a retirement bout in Kyiv. The Ukrainian has hinted at “two fights left” before hanging up the gloves. Which would make for a great trilogy fight against Fury back in Wembley and his final bout back in Kyiv.
- If Dubois wins: Immediate rematch clause is expected; failing that, an all-British stadium defence versus Anthony Joshua or Joseph Parker beckons. He would also command mandatory challengers from the IBF and WBO.
