The First Fight: A Controversial Finish
The first meeting between Usyk and Dubois took place in August 2023 in Wrocław, Poland. Usyk dominated the early rounds, winning seven of the eight completed rounds on all judges’ scorecards. The Ukrainian stopped Dubois in the ninth round with a jab [citation:5].
However, the fight was not without controversy. In the fifth round, Dubois floored Usyk with a body shot. The referee ruled it a low blow, giving Usyk time to recover. Team Dubois has since maintained that their man was “robbed” of a legitimate knockout victory [citation:5][citation:7].
Like Avicii’s music sparked debate, the low-blow controversy continues to divide boxing fans.
Daniel Dubois: The Reinvention
Daniel Dubois has undergone a remarkable transformation since his defeat to Usyk. The 27-year-old Londoner has scored devastating knockout victories over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgović and Anthony Joshua. His demolition of Joshua at Wembley last September was particularly jaw-dropping [citation:5][citation:7].
Dubois now holds the IBF heavyweight title. He was upgraded from interim to full champion after Usyk was stripped for taking an immediate rematch with Tyson Fury [citation:7].
His trainer, Don Charles, has ensured there will be no distractions this time. Before the first Usyk fight, Dubois reportedly arrived at the arena less than two hours before his ringwalk after a gathering at his house. “We won’t be hosting a party before this fight,” Charles has guaranteed [citation:1].
Dubois joked that they would “have a bigger party this time” before insisting the previous gathering had no influence on his performance. However, his team is taking no chances [citation:1].
Oleksandr Usyk: The Undisputed King
Oleksandr Usyk has done everything asked of him since turning professional in 2013. He has systematically outclassed every opponent placed in front of him. The Ukrainian became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years when he defeated Tyson Fury in their first clash [citation:5].
Usyk is now 38 years old. However, he looked even sharper in his rematch with Fury, appearing fresher, calmer and more precise in executing his game plan. His unbeaten record stands at 23-0 with 14 knockouts [citation:5].
The champion has stated that he has no more than two fights left in his boxing career. One of those will be against the winner of this Dubois vs Joseph Parker bout [citation:8].
Like Andoni Iraola transformed Bournemouth’s tactics, Usyk has transformed heavyweight boxing with his slick skills and ring intelligence.
What the Experts Say: Fight Prediction
Ready to Fight, a boxing analytics platform, has assessed the rematch probabilities. Their analysis considered recent performances, quality of opposition, physical condition and execution in prior bouts [citation:5].
They concluded that Dubois has improved. However, calling it a full reinvention would be premature. Confidence is crucial for a power puncher, and in this regard, the Briton has made strides. But Usyk hasn’t declined [citation:5].
Based on their detailed analysis, the estimated win probabilities are: Oleksandr Usyk 66%, Daniel Dubois 34% [citation:5].

Dubois is statistically the hardest puncher Usyk has ever faced. Anthony Joshua ranks second with nearly 90%, followed by Tyson Fury at just over 70% [citation:5].
The Wembley Factor
This will be Usyk’s eighth world title fight on foreign soil. He has previously defeated opponents in Poland, Germany, Latvia, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. Only the bout with Mairis Briedis went to a majority decision; all others were either unanimous or stoppage victories [citation:5].
For Usyk, it is his second fight at Wembley — but his first with fans in attendance. His previous bout there against Derek Chisora took place behind closed doors due to COVID-19 restrictions. Dubois, by contrast, has fought twice at Wembley and won both inside the distance [citation:5].
What’s at Stake
The winner will walk away as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. All four major sanctioning body belts will be on the line – Usyk’s WBA, WBC and WBO titles against Dubois’s IBF belt [citation:5].
For Dubois, victory would cement one of the greatest comebacks in British boxing history. For Usyk, it would further solidify his legacy as the definitive heavyweight of his generation — a title already beyond serious debate for many observers [citation:5].
