The top two heavyweights in the world, Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois, clash for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world in Wembley Stadium today. The Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, holds the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles, and recently vacated the IBF belt, which now belongs to the British fighter Daniel Dubois. The pair fought a controversial bout two years ago, in which Usyk defeated Dubois with a ninth-round KO after being knocked down from a low blow in the fifth. Dubois believes the blow was legal, and he should have been crowned the unified champion at that time. Usyk, who beat Tyson Fury last year for the second time, is a massive favorite to win this one.

Oleksandr Usyk
Last year, the Ukrainian champion fought two impressive bouts with Tyson Fury, beating "The Gypsy King" by split decision in May to become the first undisputed heavyweight king in the four-belt era. Usyk, who is undefeated, improved on the first fight with a unanimous decision over Fury in December, after being stripped of the IBF title. The 38-year-old, who was undisputed champion at cruiserweight, was knocked down with a low blow in his 2023 clash with Daniel Dubois. The referee gave him time to recover, and the Ukrainian went on to score a KO victory as the fight wore on. The southpaw, who is rumored to be on the edge of retirement after this fight, won gold at heavyweight at the London games.

Daniel Dubois
Since losing to Oleksandr Usyk last time out, Daniel Dubois has gone on to become the IBF champion and destroy fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in the ring. Dubois continues to assert that he was cheated out of the unified champion status after his punch that floored Usyk in the first fight was deemed a low blow. "Dynamite," who has 21 knockouts from 22 victories and said he wants to put Usyk to sleep, is on a rich vein of form. The Londoner, who took up boxing as a child to escape the dangers of his South London neighborhood, has raked up a three-fight streak that includes excellent stoppages over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and two-time world champion Anthony Joshua. "Dynamite's" dismantling and domination of Anthony Joshua in his first defense of the IBF title was a statement to the boxing world that the powerful puncher was now a force to be reckoned with.
I'm on fire now. I'm just pent up and ready to go. It's going to be a bloodbath. I'm going to put all the controversy and all that nonsense to rest. I'm a man of the future.
