Usyk vs. Dubois 2: Battle for Undisputed Supremacy at Wembley

← Back

 



The legendary Wembley Stadium will host the biggest boxing event of 2025 on Saturday, July 19. Undefeated Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk will face home hero Daniel Dubois in a rematch for undisputed heavyweight supremacy.

Background of the Epic Encounter

The Usyk vs. Dubois 2 clash brings a dramatic story of revenge and dominance in boxing's premier weight division.

Oleksandr Usyk (40 years old) comes as an undefeated champion in two weight categories and holder of all four major heavyweight belts (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO). The Olympic champion and former undisputed cruiserweight champion defeated Dubois in a controversial first fight in 2023.

"I'm in peak form, despite my age. This will be another chapter in my sporting history," says the confident Ukrainian legend.

Daniel Dubois (27 years old) represents the home hero and rising star of British boxing. He shocked the world with a five-round victory over Anthony Joshua at the same stadium and feels wronged by the first fight due to a controversial low blow incident.

"I'm a different fighter than I was two years ago. This time I will dominate and rewrite history," promises the confident Brit.

Changes Since the First Encounter

Both boxers have significantly evolved since their first meeting in 2023.

Usyk confirmed his position as undisputed champion with victory over Tyson Fury and became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in two decades. Despite being 40, he remains in incredible physical condition.

"Age is just a number when you have discipline and experience," claims the Ukrainian.

Dubois shocked the world with a dominant victory over Anthony Joshua and completely rebuilt his career after the loss to Usyk. He has become one of the most inspirational stories in modern boxing.

"Today I'm stronger, smarter, and more prepared than ever before," warns the Brit.

Wembley as Boxing's Cathedral

The iconic London stadium will become the venue for this historic encounter with a capacity of over 90,000 spectators and expected sellout. The record of 98,128 fans from the Joshua vs. Dubois bout could be broken.

Strong home support for the British challenger will create a unique atmosphere. Wembley Stadium has hosted several legendary boxing nights in the past.

"Boxing in front of a home crowd at Wembley is a dream come true. I'll turn the fans' energy into my strength," promises Dubois.

Undercard Program

The main event will be complemented by several interesting bouts. Lawrence Okolie will face Kevin Lerena, with Okolie continuing his heavyweight journey against the former world champion. Lewis Edmondson has a chance for an intercontinental title against Usyk's sparring partner Daniel Lapin.

Historical Significance

This fight has the potential to rewrite boxing history. For Usyk, it means confirming his status as one of the greatest boxers of all time in two weight categories. For Dubois, it represents a chance to surpass Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as the greatest British heavyweight of this era.

This is the second undisputed heavyweight title fight in two decades, making it an unrepeatable sporting experience with the potential to become a classic.

Usyk vs. Dubois 2 takes place on Saturday, July 19, at Wembley Stadium in London. The broadcast begins at 5:30 PM British time (6:30 PM Central European time) with the main event expected late in the evening. Live coverage will be on DAZN PPV.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
