Daniel Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk Set for Heavyweight Rematch July 19 at Wembley

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are set for a highly anticipated heavyweight unification rematch at Wembley Stadium on July 19, following their controversial first bout in August 2023 where Usyk stopped Dubois in the ninth round. The initial fight was marked by controversy over a fifth-round body shot from Dubois that was ruled a low blow, a decision Dubois and his camp have contested ever since. Since that defeat, Dubois has rebounded impressively, claiming the IBF title and securing knockout victories over notable opponents such as Anthony Joshua, Jarrell Miller, and Filip Hrgovic. Usyk, who previously became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era after defeating Tyson Fury, is aiming to reclaim the IBF belt he vacated due to mandatory obligations. Both fighters have expressed determination and confidence ahead of the rematch, with Dubois seeking redemption and Usyk eager to reunify the heavyweight titles. The matchup is seen as a significant opportunity for Dubois to achieve greatness, while Usyk remains the favorite based on his skill and experience.
