USYK VS DUBOIS 2: Stream, TV channel and undercard info for blockbuster Wembley fight
Dubois downed Usyk in the fifth round, but the significant punch was deemed a low blow by the referee, who then allowed the veteran almost four minutes to recover, before he went on to KO the Brit in the ninth.
Since their first bout, Usyk has secured back-to-back wins over Tyson Fury and became an undisputed world heavyweight champion after his first victory.
The boxing icon was forced to give up his IBF title after claiming all four belts, as in order to have the rematch with the Gypsy King, it meant he was unable to fulfil his duties against the mandatory challenger, which was then Dubois.
DDD was later upgraded to IBF champion and he established his status by brutally knocking out fellow Brit Anthony Joshua last September.
Dubois now bids to become Britain's first undisputed heavyweight champ since Lennox Lewis and claim revenge on Usyk.
But the current WBC, WBA and WBO king has his sights set on becoming a two-time undisputed champion, a feat only previously accomplished by Muhammad Ali in the WBA-WBC two-belt era.
Tonight's mammoth bout under the arch promises to be a thriller - but is there scope for a trilogy fight between the two?

Is there a rematch trilogy clause in Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2?
Should Dubois pull off a huge shock on home soil this evening, a trilogy fight between the two would likely be on the cards, but there is no contractual clause agreed between the two for a third bout.
Dynamite's promoter Frank Warren told Sky Sports earlier this month: "It shows that boxing's very much alive in this country.
"We've got to see what happens after the fight. It'll be one a piece."
That said, Dubois is convinced that should he dethrone Usyk, he will be on course for an all-British clash with Fury.
The Londoner said: "Certainly. That's a good position to be in. To be the man. You've got to come to me for all the belts if you want to be making some money and being in big-time boxing. It's a good position.
"For sure, the future's bright, when the heavyweight division is healthy, business is good.
"It'll be like a bringing of a new era. The old guys sort of fading out and a new crop coming through."
On the flip side, should Usyk secure a second victory over Dubois, it's unlikely the Brit would get another immediate shot at the Ukrainian following Fury's announcement that he will be coming out of retirement for a trilogy bout with Usyk on April 18, 2026.
So it seems the most likely way we will see Dubois and Usyk go at it for a third time, would be for DDD to walk out of Wembley with all four belts this evening.

Daniel Dubois urged to use Frank Bruno as inspiration after crushing Usyk defeat
Dubois lost for the third time in his career after he was stopped in the fifth round at Wembley on Saturday night to new undisputed world heavyweight champion Usyk. British boxer Dubois (22-3, 21KOs) played his part in four highly-competitive rounds but was put down by a vicious right punch and while he bravely made the count, Usyk delivered a sensational left hit titled 'Ivan' to bring the rematch to a close. The ringside angle of 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 left hand by Oleksandr Usyk🎯#UsykDubois2 — DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) July 19, 2025 It means former IBF-belt holder Dubois is back in rebuild territory – like in 2023 after his first loss to Usyk in Poland – and Queensberry chief Frank Warren challenged the 27-year-old to regroup again. Warren talked up the example of Dubois' compatriot Bruno, who lost his first three world titles fights before he finally clinched the WBC belt in his 44th bout back in 1995. Asked how long Dubois will need out of the ring, Warren said: 'About six months out. It won't be before then. 'I thought up until that (fifth) round it was a pretty good fight to watch. Daniel is obviously very disappointed. 'He has got to learn from it. He is only 27. I look at Frank Bruno for example, three times he fought for a world title and he got it on the fourth attempt. 'Daniel has won a world title so hopefully he will come back, but the bottom line is it was Usyk's night and he is a special, special boxer.' Dubois earned this opportunity after a golden 10-month period where he stopped Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, but Usyk again showed the difference in level at the summit of the blue-riband division. Warren felt Dubois got 'careless' during round five after he had pushed Usyk early on during a pulsating contest in London. 'That is what Daniel needs to learn from this fight, to try and learn and develop the mental attitude that Usyk has,' Warren explained. 'Daniel didn't stick to the task, he got careless, he dropped his hands and paid the price. 'For Daniel now, he'll have a little break, think about things and he has got to resurrect himself. 'What level? He's got to come back and make a statement. He needs to make a statement against a quality fighter like he did last time. A post shared by DAZN Boxing (@daznboxing) 'There are lots of fighters over the years who have been beaten and come back even stronger. That is what he has to do. 'He can punch, he can hurt you and it's just developing other aspects of his game.' Dubois' trainer Don Charles backed his fighter to bounce back, with Joseph Parker a potential option in 2026 if Usyk was to vacate his WBO title or low-key domestic bouts with Derek Chisora, Dillian Whyte or Joe Joyce, who won their first encounter five years ago. Charles added: 'We tried to get going. He is a young champion Daniel Dubois, 27 years old, remarkable what he has achieved to date. 'He will be back from this stronger. Usyk is a generational great, if you're going to lose to someone, lose to someone like that. He'll be back from this.'

Not Joshua or Fury - Lennox Lewis names only man who can beat Oleksandr Usyk
Heavyweight legend Lennox Lewis says there is only one man who stands a chance of beating Oleksandr Usyk. The undefeated Ukrainian was crowned undisputed heavyweight champion for a second time after his five-round demolition job on Daniel Dubois at Wembley on Saturday night. It extended his dominance over British fighters, having now beaten Dubois, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua over the last four years. Usyk gave each of them the chance to set the record straight again in rematches, beating them all again having also recorded career wins over Tony Bellew and Derek Chisora. Speaking after his victory, Usyk suggested he was interested in possible trilogy fights with Joshua and Fury while Turki Al-Sheikh is eager for Moses Itauma, the 20-year-old regarded as the future of British heavyweight boxing, to step up and challenge the champion. He may have to wait for his turn however with Joseph Parker the mandatory challenger for one of Usyk's four belts – the WBO title. The New Zealander was scheduled to fight Dubois for hi IBF title in February only for the latter to be ruled out with illness. Parker has waited patiently for his shot and is now next in line. Parker has been on an incredible run over the last two years, racking up wins over Deontay Wilder and Zilei Zhang to catapult him right back into the world title conversation. The 33-year-old blasted through late stand-in Martin Bakole following Dubois' withdrawal in February with Lewis believing he is poses the biggest threat to Usyk's dominance than any other fighter out there. More Trending 'I don't see anyone in the division beating him right now,' Lewis told DAZN. 'I think Joseph Parker has the best chance right now. I think they've been freezing Joseph Parker out. Joseph Parker needs that next fight, so get him in there.' Lewis added: 'Joseph Parker has been waiting for his chance. I don't know why he hasn't had it yet. I think he should be the next fight.'

Former Arsenal star Rob Holding, 29, lined up for shock MLS transfer following failed Sheffield United loan
ROB HOLDING is on the radar of MLS clubs as his Crystal Palace future is in doubt. The ex-Arsenal defender, 29, had a loan at Sheffield United for the second half of last season. 3 Championship sides are keen but there is interest in the US for a second year running. The defender was signed from Arsenal for £4million in 2023, but he played only one game for the Eagles after falling out with manager Oliver Glasner. He was then sent to train with the junior team, where he remained frozen out until deadline day of the January transfer window, when he joined Sheffield United. Holding, who made 162 appearances for Arsenal, was brought in to add experience and solidity to Crystal Palace's backline after signing a contract through to 2026. But as things stand, a complete separation from the club could be in everyone's best interest. He went on to make 10 appearances and provided one assist as Sheffield United finished third in the Championship but missed out on promotion and manager Chris Wilder leaving. Former Blades boss Wilder admitted he wanted to keep Holding before leaving his post after failing to secure Premier League promotion. He said: "Rob is just a straight loan until the end of the season, but he's certainly someone we'd be interested in if the loan goes well. 'You don't get signed by a club like Arsenal if you haven't got something about you – if you're not a little bit special. 'As sometimes happens, things didn't work out at Palace, and we've taken advantage of that. 'Everyone's been impressed with Rob in his early days here at Sheffield United." Crystal Palace could be KICKED OUT of Europa League before a ball is even kicked The departure of Wilder has meant Holding could do with moving abroad instead of heading back to Bramall Lane. In other transfer news, Crystal Palace welcomed Eberechi Eze back for pre-season despite strong links to Arsenal. The England midfielder has two years left on his current deal, but after lifting the FA Cup and establishing himself as a Palace legend, a move to North London does interest him. Palace, however, are yet to receive an official approach. Sources have told SunSport the Eagles will hold out for a fee of around £65million to do business with the Gunners.
