Usyk, Dubois Rematch Set for July 19 at Wembley

The highly anticipated rematch between unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois is officially set for July 19, 2025, at Wembley Stadium in London, after being postponed from its original July 12 date to avoid conflicts with other major boxing events. Usyk, who previously defeated Dubois by ninth-round TKO in 2023 amid controversy over a ruled low blow, will aim to become the undisputed heavyweight champion for a second time. Since their first bout, Dubois has captured the IBF title and scored high-profile victories, including a knockout win over Anthony Joshua, while Usyk has remained undefeated, recently winning back-to-back fights against Tyson Fury. The matchup is seen as a battle between generations, with the 38-year-old Usyk's technical prowess facing the 27-year-old Dubois's power and momentum. While the fight has generated excitement, some fans question the decision to stage it at Wembley Stadium and would have preferred other matchups, notably involving Usyk or Dubois against different opponents. Nevertheless, the rematch offers Dubois a chance at redemption and Usyk an opportunity to solidify his legacy as an undisputed champion once again.
