Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Fight: Odds, Predictions And Picks
LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 17: Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois face off during the 'Undisputed' press ... More conference at Wembley Stadium on July 17, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) The heavyweight title unification rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois takes place on Saturday, July 19. The Usyk vs. Dubois 2 fight card goes down at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Usyk puts his WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight titles up for grabs in the rematch. As for Dubois, he will enter his second fight opposite Usyk with the IBF title in his hands. At the end of the scrap, the winner will walk away as the undisputed heavyweight champion, a title Usyk held once before. Below, we look at the betting odds, picks and predictions for Usyk vs. Dubois 2. Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Opening Odds And Line Movement When the opening betting odds were announced for the Usyk vs. Dubois rematch, Usyk was a -950 favorite, while Dubois opened as the +530 betting underdog. The betting line has tightened as fight night nears for this heavyweight clash. Today, Usyk is listed as the -460 favorite, while Dubois checks in as the +250 betting underdog. Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 29: Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois face off during a press conference ... More ahead of the Undisputed IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO World Heavyweight Titles' fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois as part of Undisputed: Usyk v Dubois II at Wembley Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Usyk (23-0 with 14 knockouts) and Dubois (22-2 with 21 KOs) first faced off in August 2023. Usyk won that matchup via knockout in the ninth round, but there was some controversy with that victory. A body shot from Dubois put Usyk on the deck in the fifth round, but the punch was ruled a low blow. Usyk came back to finish the fight. Dubois and his team appealed the outcome of the fight, but WBA ruled against them, stating: 'After studying all the documents, the conclusions of all the instances and the internal rules of the WBA, it was determined that the appeal does not proceed and the decision of the fight stands with the victory and defence of the champion Usyk.' Since that matchup, Usyk has gone 2-0, beating Tyson Fury in both outings, picking up a split decision in May 2024 and a unanimous decision in December 2024. Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion with his first win over Fury, but he was forced to give up the IBF title before the rematch. Dubois is 3-0 since his loss to Usyk with knockout wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgović, and most recently Anthony Joshua. Dubois claimed the vacant IBF title with his June 2024 win over Hrgovic. He defended that title in September 2024, stopping Joshua in the fifth round. Dubois entered the ring after Usyk's second win over Fury to demand a rematch. 'I want my revenge! I want my revenge, Usyk,' Dubois said, interrupting Usyk's in-ring interview. 'Well done tonight. God bless, but I want my revenge. Let's get it! Let's go!' Usyk looking for promoter Turki Alalshikh, said, 'Make a fight with Daniel Dubois. Thank you so much.' 'Yeah, no problem. I'm ready. Next fight, no problem,' Usyk added when he got back to his interview. 'Now I'm going back home for a little bit of rest, but I'm ready.' The Usyk vs. Dubois 2 matchup, which was reported by The Ring, overcame a potential stumbling block earlier this month when the WBO received a petition to allow Usyk to face Dubois rather than mandatory challenger Joseph Parker. ESPN has Usyk ranked as the No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer, while Dubois is No. 3 in the heavyweight rankings.

(Photo by) "[I am still boxing] because Jesus gives me the opportunity, and I take this," Usyk told DAZN. "Now my goal is to become a three-time undisputed. Listen, I love boxing, training hard. I guess it's my last two fights, with Dubois and next, I don't know who. I'll talk to you after this fight, it's my life." "I love my British opponents," Usyk added. "I think Daniel is a good athlete, a good boxer, and has good skills. He has had great wins in his last three fights, is a great fighter. I think Daniel deserves [the rematch]."

More IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO World Heavyweight Titles' fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois as part of Undisputed: Usyk v Dubois II at Wembley Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) 'I feel like I'm a better fighter now, more improved, more conditioned and just ready to be even better version, a better solider and just go to war,' Dubois told DAZN. 'I think it's going to be totally different [fight]," Dubois said of the upcoming rematch. "If the people thinking it's going to be the same thing then they're in for a shock, a surprise — even their team.' Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Tale Of The Tape Oleksandr Usyk Record: 23-0 with 14 knockouts Age: 38 Height: 6'3" Reach: 78" Stance: Southpaw Daniel Dubois Record: 22-2 with 21 knockouts Age: 27 Height: 6'5" Reach: 78" Stance: Orthodox Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Breakdown Oleksandr Usyk and his team during a press conference at Wembley Stadium, London. Picture date: ... More Thursday July 17, 2025. (Photo by Bradley Collyer/PA Images via Getty Images) Don't be surprised if Dubois looks to go to the body more in this fight. He and his team believe Usyk is sus[ectible to body shots. Expect Usyk and his team to be ready for this change in approach. When Dubois picked up his pace on body punches in the first fight, Usyk was able to counter over the top, especially with his jab. Speaking of that jab, Usyk was very effective with his lead hand in the first bout, using it to not only land punches but to frustrate his opponent by using it to probe, draw a response from Dubois, and then throwing a jab of his own when Dubois looked to deal with the probe from Usyk. Usyk landed 52 of 206 jab attempts in the first meeting, while Dubois went 13 for 126 for a paltry 10.3 percent landing rate with his jab. Dubois was also susceptible to Usyk's level changes and feints in the first meeting. To make matters worse for Dubois, he keeps a low guard to begin with, which means when he reacts to Usyk, he leaves himself open to be hit. Dubois needs to clean that up, or he will once again be on the wrong end of the landed punch stats (88 to 47). Dubois cannot allow Usyk to lead the dance in this matchup. He found himself reacting throughout the first fight, which put Usyk in the driver's seat. Dubois did not outland Usyk in any round of their 2023 meeting. He did throw more than Usyk in two rounds. Dubois's footwork is predictable, which led to Usyk having success, especially when Dubois backed up and dropped his guard at the same time. Dubois must change up his game plan in this fight. Not only should he look to go to the body more, but he should force Usyk to fight off his back foot a lot more. If he follows the same game plan he did in the first matchup, Usyk will dominate. Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Predictions And Picks Oleksandr Usyk and his team during a press conference at Wembley Stadium, London. Picture date: ... More Thursday July 17, 2025. (Photo by Bradley Collyer/PA Images via Getty Images) This fight will be decided early. If Dubois comes out aggressive and can put Usyk on the defensive in the opening rounds, he has an excellent chance of winning. However, if Dubois allows Usyk to lead the dance early, Dubois will never be in the fight. Dubois will have the confidence of having scored three straight knockouts since his loss to Usyk. However, those fighters were not Usyk, so being overconfident is not an option. Look for a Usyk win via decision or late TKO. For those leaning toward Dubois, pick him to win via knockout. We will have more on the Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 fight card as fight night nears.

Scheffler, with three majors under his belt, has never won The Open. His best finish was a tie for seventh in the 2024 tournament. Rory McIlroy is second on the board at +700. And bettors looking to back a hometown guy might want to note that McIlroy is from Northern Ireland. The No. 2 golfer McIlroy has won five majors over the course of his career, including the 2025 Masters. He tied for second at the Scottish Open last week. A familiar name a little bit further down the board is Jordan Spieth at +5500. He's got four top 10 finishes this season and is currently ranked No. 47 in the world. The Texan won the Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
