Usyk vs Dubois: Wembley date set for the undisputed title rematch

How to get tickets for the historic heavyweight championship bout on Saturday 19 July at Wembley Stadium

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois have set a date for their upcoming battle for the undisputed heavyweight crown, with the bout confirmed for Saturday 19 July at Wembley Stadium.

The blockbuster rematch sees Ukraine’s master technician Usyk, who currently holds the WBA (Super), WBO and WBC belts, take on London’s own IBF champion Daniel Dubois in a winner-takes-all clash under the famous arch. It’s not just a title fight – it’s for every title, with all four major belts on the line for the first time in the UK since Lennox Lewis unified the division back in 1999.

The bout is promoted by Frank Warren and Queensberry alongside Usyk’s Right to Fight, and forms part of the Riyadh Season series, and it’s set to be a defining moment in modern boxing history.

Usyk and Dubois’ first encounter in Wroclaw last year ended in controversy. Dubois dropped Usyk with a fierce shot to the midsection in Round 5 – ruled low by the referee – leaving fans, pundits, and the fighters themselves locked in debate ever since. Usyk recovered and stopped Dubois in the ninth, but the what-ifs have lingered. Now, the stage is set for a definitive answer.

Since that loss, 27-year-old Dubois has stormed back with three emphatic knockout wins, all while holding onto his IBF strap. But with no British fighter ever having claimed the undisputed title in the four-belt era, he’s chasing more than just redemption – he’s chasing history.

Usyk, undefeated in 23 fights and already an undisputed cruiserweight champion, knows the end of his glittering career is near (he’s hinted at just two more outings before hanging up the gloves). And after besting Tyson Fury twice, there’s little left for him to prove – except unifying the division once and for all.

So, what’s at stake? Legacy. Redemption. The chance to carve your name into the record books alongside the likes of Ali, Lewis and Holyfield. This isn’t just another fight night – it’s a once-in-a-generation moment.
