The rematch comes after their first bout in August 2023. That fight ended with Usyk keeping his heavyweight titles by technical knockout in the ninth round. But the match wasn't without drama. In the fifth round, Dubois landed a punch that the referee called low. Many argued it was a legitimate shot, sparking controversy.
Now, almost two years later, both fighters are ready to settle the score. Usyk, the Ukrainian champion, will defend his titles against British challenger Dubois. The heavyweight division always brings excitement, and this rematch is no exception.
The fighters' talents, the emotional charge from their last meeting, and the desire to clear up any doubts from the previous fight all add to the anticipation. Fans can expect a spectacular show as these two powerhouses clash again.
DAZN will broadcast the fight on pay-per-view. U.S. viewers can watch for $59.99, while those in the UK will pay £24.99. Good news for fans who bought the Berlanga vs Sheeraz fight - they're already covered for this event.
"This rematch is about more than just titles," said Usyk in a recent press conference. "It's about proving who's truly the best heavyweight in the world."
Dubois echoed the sentiment:
"I've been waiting for this chance to set things right. July 19th, I'll show everyone what I'm capable of."
While details of the undercard haven't been released yet, organizers promise a stacked lineup leading up to the main event.
As the date draws closer, excitement continues to build. With two determined fighters, a storied rivalry, and the heavyweight titles on the line, this rematch guarantees to deliver an unforgettable night of boxing.
