Daniel Dubois vs Oleksandr Usyk ANNOUNCED with fighters to do battle in huge Wembley rematch on July 19
DANIEL DUBOIS' rematch with Oleksandr Usyk has been switched to July 19.
Dubois is chasing both revenge and the undisputed heavyweight crown at Wembley, 19 months after a controversial ninth-round TKO defeat.
Organisers have now moved the fight back a week from July 12.
That's to avoid sharing the spotlight with a mega bill the same night featuring Edgar Berlanga and Shakur Stevenson in New York City.
Dubois is still smarting from his downfall against Usyk in August 2023.
The IBF king dropped the icon, who beat Tyson Fury twice, in the fifth round.

But referee Luis Pabon deemed the punch a low blow, meaning Usyk had five minutes to recover.
Pabon raised eyebrows further by urging the 38-year-old to take more time to get over the punch.
Dubois and promoter Frank Warren unsuccessfully appealed to the WBA, asking for the loss to instead be recorded as a no-contest, due to Pabon's debatable low-blow call.
Now, though, Warren reckons Dynamite has the weapons to KO Usyk beyond debate.
