JAKARTA Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk will fight to become the undisputed world heavyweight champions at Wembley Stadium on July 19, 2025.
This is a match that many boxing fans have been waiting for. Dubois from England is the IBF champion, while Usyk holds the WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC belts.
"I thank God for the opportunity to once again fight for an undeniable title. Thank you, Daniel, for keeping my IBF belt. Now I want it back," Usyk was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
Usyk has so far had an unbeaten record in 23 fights. The record includes beating Dubois, 27 years old, with knockout (KO) in the ninth round in August 2023.
This 38-year-old boxer from Ukraine made history in May 2024 defeating Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era.

Usyk, who also won undisputed champions in cruiserweight, then vacated the IBF belt before his rematch with Fury in December 2024.
Dubois was then upgraded to become IBF champion and managed to defend his belt against compatriot Anthony Joshua in September 2024.
He was supposed to fight Joseph Parker to risk the belt in February 2025. However, it was painful for Dubois to have to withdraw from the fight.
"This is the fight I want and what I ask for. Now I have the opportunity to take revenge against Usyk," said Dubois.
If they succeed in defeating Usyk, Daniel Dubois will automatically become the first British boxer to successfully win the world in the era of four belts.
The last boxer from England to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion was Lennox Lewis. The title was won in 1999 when they beat Evander Holyfield.
