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

 



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.
