A rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois has been booked to go down on July 19, 2025 inside Wembley Stadium in London, England.
That’s according to ESPN.
Just last month it was reported that World Boxing Organization (WBO) had ordered the heavyweight champion, Usyk, to begin negotiations over a mandatory title defense against Joseph Parker, who knocked out Martin Bakole rather easily after he stepped in for an ill Dubois in Riyadh (see it again here).
With the change of course, Dubois now gets his chance at revenge despite not facing and defeating Parker. The two men initially threw down back in 2023, with Usyk knocking out Dubois in the ninth round, allowing him to retain the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles.
Usyk went on to vacate the IBF strap, which Dubois won by stopping Filip Hrgovic in June 2024. He went on to secure his first defense by knocking out Anthony Joshua in the fifth round just three months later (see it again here). Now, the hard-hitting Brit will attempt to get some revenge and become the undisputed heavyweight king by securing the biggest win of his combat sports career.
Really against this match up…
IMHO Dubois has proven himself to be a blatant drug cheat with his actions and Parker has won 6 in a row since his last defeat.
Should be Parker facing Usyk not Dubois.
