Wembley Stadium is set to host the much-anticipated heavyweight clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois on Saturday evening. In one of the most eagerly awaited fights of the year, WBA, WBC and WBO world heavyweight title holder and dual-weight undisputed champion Usyk aims to unify the division once more against IBF world heavyweight belt holder Dubois.
The two first faced off in August 2023 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian successfully defended his trio of titles via a ninth-round stoppage in a controversial fashion after he was knocked down by Dubois in the fifth round due to a contentious low blow. Following this, Usyk defeated Tyson Fury, unifying the heavyweight division. However, he gave up the IBF title, which was later claimed by Dubois, to concentrate on his rematch with the Gypsy King, which he also won. Now, the prospect of unification looms again as Dubois seeks retribution. Express Sport have all the details you need for Saturday’s main event, including ringwalk times, how to watch live and another big bout taking place that evening.
Where will Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 take place?

The undefeated 38-year-old hasn’t stepped into the ring in the UK since 2021, when he first faced Anthony Joshua at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
