The main event pits Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs), the WBA, WBO, and WBC heavyweight champion, against Britain’s Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), the current IBF titleholder. Their first encounter in August 2023 ended with Usyk stopping Dubois in the ninth round, though the fight was marred by controversy over a fifth-round low blow call that gave Usyk nearly four minutes to recover. Dubois and his team have long argued the punch was legal, fueling their desire for redemption in this rematch.
Since their first fight, Usyk has solidified his status as one of boxing’s all-time greats, defeating Tyson Fury twice to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era. However, he was stripped of the IBF title due to mandatory challenger rules, which Dubois claimed after stopping Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua in 2024. Dubois, now 27, has shown marked improvement, boasting a 95% knockout rate and a newfound confidence, declaring himself ready for a “demolition job” at Wembley.
Usyk, 38, remains the favorite with odds of -335, leveraging his elite footwork, defense, and experience against top-tier opponents like Fury and Joshua. Dubois, at +260, is banking on his power and home-crowd support to pull off the upset and become the first British undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
Beyond the prelims, the undercard features high-stakes matchups that require a DAZN PPV subscription to watch:
Lawrence Okolie vs. Kevin Lerena – Heavyweights: Okolie, a former WBO cruiserweight champion, faces southpaw Lerena, who previously dropped Dubois three times in 2022.
Daniel Lapin vs. Lewis Edmondson – Light Heavyweights: The undefeated Lapin takes on former British champion Edmondson.
Vladyslav Sirenko vs. Solomon Dacres – Heavyweights: A clash of heavy-hitting prospects.
