OLEKSANDR USYK and Daniel Dubois have FINALLY got a date for their blockbuster rematch – and it is not to be missed!
The Greenwich gladiator Dubois has been unstoppable of late, most recently humiliating British hero to retain his IBF heavyweight title.
This was Dubois' third consecutive victory after securing a TKO win over in December 2023 before forcing Croatian superstar Filip Hrgovic to suffer the same fate a little over a year later.
But ironically, the champs' last defeat came at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk – a controversial loss which led to promoter unsuccessfully appealing the result.
Dubois thought he was on his way to winning the August 2023 showdown after dropping Usyk with a shot to the body in the fifth round.
However, referee Luis Pablon deemed the punch to be a low blow and gave Uysk the allotted five minutes to recover, plus a little more.
Usyk would then go from strength to strength before eventually landing a brutal KO blow on Dubois in the 9th round.
Dubois was then set to get his second crack at the former undisputed heavyweight champion in a Wembley war on Saturday, July 12.
But organisers have opted to move the Usyk vs Dubois 2 date back a little further, and SunSport can reveal all of the information below.

What has been said?
The pair have been going back and forth over their highly-anticipated rematch.
IBF king said: “This is the fight I wanted and demanded and now I get my chance for revenge.
“I should have won the first fight and was denied by the judgement of the referee, so I will make no mistake this time around in front of my people at the national stadium in my home city.
“I am a superior and more dangerous fighter now and Usyk will find this out for himself.”
The response from Dynamite's upcoming opponent was more measured.
Usyk said: “I'm grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship.
“Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt – now I want it back.”
