Daniel Dubois Defends IBF Title Against Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley

Daniel Dubois is preparing for a crucial rematch against Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley Stadium, aiming to become the first British undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 and to avenge his 2023 stoppage loss to the Ukrainian. Dubois has transformed since their last fight, showing a newfound killer instinct with knockout wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua, which has silenced doubts about his heart and ability. His training incorporates ancient calisthenics methods under coach Cuong Hua, emphasizing bodyweight strength and mobility uncommon for a boxer of his size. Former champion George Groves advises Dubois to start the fight quickly and apply educated pressure early to disrupt Usyk’s rhythm and control, as success in the opening rounds is critical against the technical southpaw. Usyk remains unbeaten since their first encounter, having solidified his status as the undisputed heavyweight champion by defeating Tyson Fury twice, adding to the high stakes of this showdown. Dubois enters the fight confident, describing his career as "resurrected" and feeling "unstoppable," indicating his determination to claim the undisputed heavyweight crown.
