Report: Usyk-Dubois 2 being finalized for July 12 in London

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are in the process of finalizing a rematch for July 12 at Wembley Stadium in London, sources told The Ring's Mike Coppinger.

Usyk, the WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight champion, and Dubois, the IBF titleholder, would meet for the undisputed championship.

Usyk defeated Dubois via ninth-round knockout in August 2023 in Wroclaw, Poland, to defend the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles.

Since then, the 38-year-old Ukrainian is 2-0. He beat Tyson Fury by split decision last May to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 2000. Usyk, who was forced to relinquish the IBF title following that victory, earned a unanimous decision win over Fury in their December rematch in defense of his three belts.

Dubois has also maintained a perfect record since losing to Usyk, winning three in a row. The 27-year-old London native is coming off an upset knockout win over Anthony Joshua last September, successfully defending the IBF title for the first time. Dubois captured the interim belt with a stoppage of Filip Hrgovic last June and was later elevated to full champion when Usyk gave up the strap.

Dubois was scheduled to face WBO interim heavyweight champ Joseph Parker on Feb. 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but he withdrew during fight week due to an illness.
