Oleksandr Usyk might face Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in his next fight. The Ukrainian heavyweight champion's promoter, Alex Krassyuk, says they're working on the bout.
Usyk, now 38, has had a great 2024. He beat Tyson Fury twice, first by split decision and then by unanimous decision in the rematch. These wins made him the true king of the heavyweight division.
The champ has fought in England before, but never at Wembley. He's beaten Tony Bellew in Manchester, Derek Chisora at The SSE Arena, and Anthony Joshua at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Dubois has been on a roll since losing to Usyk. He's knocked out Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua. His most recent fight was against Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September.
Usyk knows he's near the end of his career. He's said he only has one or two big fights left. A rematch with Dubois at Wembley could be one of those fights.
"We're working on arranging the fight at Wembley Stadium," Krassyuk said. "It would be Usyk's first time fighting there, and we think it's the right move for his career at this point."
The choice of Wembley Stadium is surprising, given Usyk's previous venues in England. But it shows how much his star power has grown since beating Fury.
Usyk's recent performances have put him in the conversation for the pound-for-pound crown. A win over Dubois at Wembley would only strengthen his claim to that title.
