Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are in negotiations to go head-to-head once again, with the rematch set to take place on July 12th at Wembley Stadium.

Oleksandr Usyk & Daniel Dubois Set For Rematch At Wembley Stadium

The two heavyweight giants are rumoured to be eyeing up a rematch in July under Ring Magazine, as the Ukrainian defends his heavyweight gold.

Back in August 2023, Usyk picked up a ninth round TKO victory over Dynamite, however, the fight was marked with some minor controversy.

In round five, the British heavyweight dropped Usyk with what was deemed a low blow, but some fight fans believed the shot to be legal and to the body.

Despite this set back, Usyk continued to put pressure on Dubois and ended up winning the fight just four rounds later and continued his streak of beating English fighters.

Beating Tony Bellew in 2018, then Derek Chisora in 2020, before outclassing Anthony Joshua twice between 2021-22 and then stopping Dubois in 2023, Usyk had one name left to add to the list – Tyson Fury.

Fury and Usyk would battle it out in Saudi Arabia twice in 2024, with the Ukrainian winning both fights comfortably via decision – sending the Gypsy King into retirement.

Usyk is not the only one who has found success since his bout with Dubois in 2023, as Dynamite has been on an impressive run himself.

The 27-year-old went on to beat Jarrell Miller via a 10th round stoppage and put in a dominant performance over an opponent who has a 100lbs advantage.

Following this performance, Dubois picked up his most impressive victory to date with an eighth round TKO victory over Filip Hrgovic.

This would then lead to Dynamite’s superstar moment, as he stepped into the ring with Anthony Joshua and put on an absolute clinic – destroying AJ within five rounds.

Dubois was days away from taking on Joseph Parker to defend the IBF heavyweight title, however, the Brit pulled out with injury and has not been in the ring since.

A bout against Oleksandr Usyk would be a monumental test, but reports suggest the negotiations are going well and we could see these two men go to battle at Wembley Stadium on July 12th.
