Oleksandr Usyk to face Daniel Dubois in undisputed heavyweight title showdown
Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will fight on Saturday, July 19, at Wembley Stadium, London, in a contest that will see a new undisputed world heavyweight champion crowned.
The epic bout, promoted by Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren for Queensberry and Ready To Fight, will be broadcast live on the home of boxing, DAZN, worldwide and be the
first undisputed heavyweight championship clash fought on British soil.
Under the sponsorship of Riyadh Season, unified WBC, WBO and WBA world champion Oleksandr Usyk and IBF world champion Daniel Dubois will battle to unite all the heavyweight titles for the second time in 14 months.
“I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship,” said Usyk.
“Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt - now I want it back.”
Dubois said: “This is the fight I wanted and demanded and now I get my chance for revenge against Oleksandr Usyk.”
DAZN“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."
For Usyk, 38, this fight is an attempt to become an undisputed champion for athird time.
The Ukrainian first won this title at cruiserweight in 2018. Then in May 2024, Usyk he entered his original undisputed bout with WBC champion Tyson Fury, winning by split decision.

For Dubois, who has handed the IBF title when Usyk wasf forced to release it, this is a rematch of the pairs' first meeting in Poland in August 2023, where he was ultimately stopped in the ninth round.
Since his Usyk reverse, Dubois, 27, has put together a treble of resounding victories by overcoming the previously undefeated Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, followed by a Wembley destruction of former unified champion Anthony Joshua.
His IBF Interim title success over Hrgovic was later upgraded to full champion status, with his encounter with Joshua being his first defence of the title.
A scheduled second defence against former WBO world champion Joseph Parker in February was called off at late notice due to illness.
“I am thrilled to deliver this historic undisputed occasion for Daniel at Wembley Stadium,” said promoter Frank Warren.
"I am certain that we will see the best of British both in and outside of the ring, from Daniel and the unrivalled fight fans who will pack out the biggest sporting venue in the country.”
Sergey Lapin, the CEO of Ready To Fight and Usyk’s team director added: "Thank you to Queensberry Promotions for the cooperation, as well as Riyadh Season and DAZN for their support.
"This will not only be a great bout, but also a unique event in terms of entertainment. We are ready to deliver the Undisputed Resolution to all boxing fans worldwide.”
