Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2: How to watch, fight time, price

USA Today19-07-2025
Daniel Dubois is one of the hardest-hitting heavyweights in boxing. Oleksandr Usyk is one of the most elusive.
Therein lies the key storyline for a rematch between Daniel Dubois and Usyk on Saturday, July 19, with the undisputed heavyweight title at stake.
They met last in 2023, when Usyk won by ninth-round knockout despite taking a low blow from Dubois that dropped him to the canvas in the fifth round.
Plenty has happened since.
Last year, for example, the 27-year-old Dubois knocked down Anthony Joshua four times on his way to a fifth-round TKO victory.
Also last year, the 38-year-old Usyk kept his 23-0 record spotless with a victory over Tyson Fury by unanimous decision.

Usyk vs Dubois 2 predictions
Josh Peter writes: "Almost two years have passed since Oleksandr Usyk beat Daniel Dubois in their first bout by ninth-round KO. Dubois has incredible power and showed as much when knocking down Anthony Joshua four times on his way to a fifth-round TKO victory last year. Yet in the final seconds of that fight, Dubois left himself open and took a hard shot that could have swung the fight. Dubois won't be able to make the same mistakes against Usyk, whose technical soundness and elusive defense are superior."
Lyle Fitzsimmons writes: "If you believe a KO of Joshua—whom Usyk has twice dismantled—warrants such a spike in relevance, so be it. But unless the splendid Ukrainian champion turns into a punched-out 38-year-old overnight, it's another tactical mismatch. Expect several one-sided, clinical rounds on the way, with many so-called experts lamenting that they should have seen it coming."
Brent Brookhouse writes: "I think it's more likely the fight goes the full 12 rounds. Both fighters know how dangerous the other is, and though Usyk finished Dubois in the first fight, Dubois has a booming level of confidence coming off of his thrashing of Anthony Joshua. Usyk only has two stoppages at heavyweight (Dubois and Chazz Witherspoon) and I don't see a repeat of the first fight here. Dubois is the better boxer and those skills should be enough for him to come out on top on the scorecards, though either man getting a stoppage is in play."
Staff writes: "I predict that Usyk will secure a repeat win over Dubois via TKO/KO stoppage, as his fighting style fits well with Dubois. His complete package of power, speed, timing, footwork, and fight IQ is the reason why he's currently at the top of the heavyweight division and is the key to this second meeting with Dubois. Dubois undoubtedly has the one-punch knockout power that can put any contender and champion in the heavyweight division to sleep. However, the major problem is whether he can land it cleanly against Usyk, as Usyk also has an impeccable defense."

What's next for Livvy Dunne? The former LSU gymnast plans acting career

Former collegiate gymnast turned actor Livvy Dunne is just like us. Dunne "of course" tuned into Taylor Swift's record-breaking appearance on the "New Heights" podcast alongside Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce on Aug. 13. And Dunne can relate to Swift, in that the two of them have captured a lot of attention during their respective careers. "I can't believe that I can even say I have something in common with Taylor's Swift," Dunne told USA TODAY Sports ahead of the release of her Fanatics Sportsbook commercials. "We're in a similar boat where we do have new eyes on us because of a new sports fan base." After finishing her eligibility at LSU last spring, Dunne is working on what's next. A self-described sports "fanatic," she said she'll "always be an athlete at heart." Whether she's cheering on her Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher boyfriend Paul Skenes or keeping up with the U.S. national gymnastics team, Dunne isn't too far removed from the game. And although she's no longer showcasing her leaps and tumbling passes at LSU, she's still performing. "To be able to be in the Rose Bowl, first of all is iconic, but it's not every day you get to be in a bathtub on the 50-yard line shooting a commercial," Dunne said of her upcoming commercials with Fanatics Sportsbook. "I've always loved performing, whether it's on the floor exercise or choreographing a routine. I feel like it's kind of a natural transition for me into performing and acting on camera." USA TODAY Sports caught up with Dunne in a wide-ranging interview that touched her admiration for Taylor Swift, mentorship of budding Olympic gymnast Hezly Rivera and upcoming campaign with Fantatics. Livvy Dunne relates to Taylor Swift: 'I admire her' Dunne was one of the 1.3 million viewers tuned into Swift's highly-anticipated debut on "New Heights." Swift has brought a legion of fans to the NFL, but some sports fans have taken offense to how much attention the Grammy award-winning musician's presence receives on the sidelines of Kansas City Chiefs games. Dunne said Swift's experience "really resonated" with her. "She's a football fan and supporting her boyfriend that's a professional athlete, and I'm supporting my boyfriend that's a professional athlete," Dunne said. "That's something we also have in common is the criticism that can come along with that. And I think she handles it with such grace." Being the partner of a professional athlete can be challenging. Dunne recently posted a social media video showing her various accounts being inundated with Skenes memes and GIFs. Despite the backlash, Dunne said it's been "really cool to navigate through it and learn and be a big baseball fan," noting that she'll take inspiration from Swift's approach to football critics. "I admire (Swift) in so many different ways and how she handles the criticism with such grace and how she has her own success alongside her professional athlete partner," Dunne said. Livvy Dunne hosted LSU gymnastics recruit Hezly Rivera American gymnast Hezly Rivera — who won a gold medal with the U.S. women's national team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, in addition to the all-around title at the 2025 U.S. National Gymnastics Championships — announced she'll join LSU gymnastics after graduating high school in 2026. Dunne was competing with the Tigers when Rivera came to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for her official visit. "I actually was there on (Rivera's) recruiting trip. I was still a gymnast at LSU and actually the gymnasts are a huge part of the recruiting trip," recalled Dunne. "That's why I went to LSU to begin with because the team dynamic was just amazing. It was better than any other school I visited" Dunne, 22, recalled training alongside Rivera, 17, in their home state of New Jersey when Rivera was 8 years old. Dunne said she remembered Rivera being a "phenomenal gymnast" then, just as she is now. "My biggest advice to Hezly would just authentically be herself and that's why LSU recruited her," Dunne said. "What makes LSU so special, yes, it is the fan base. Yes, it is the amazing competitive atmosphere being a student athlete there, but the diversity and how different every individual is on LSU's team is so special. And that's what made us win the 2024 national championship. I think that diversity and the adversity we went through as individuals. So I would say be true to herself." Fanatics rented out Rose Bowl for Livvy Dunne commercial Livvy Dunne's next act starts now. Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin is "either all or nothing," Dunne said. That mindset carried over in the making of her commercials with Fanatics Sportsbook as the sports platform rented out the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, to shoot three cinematic ads titled, 'Explained by Livvy Dunne." One of the ads features Dunne sitting in a clawfoot bathtub on the 50-yard line, channeling Margot Robbie in the 2015 film "The Big Short." Another ad shows her snacking on a turkey leg in the stands. "I knew that this would be a perfect stepping stone into the onscreen acting career that I love and I want to pursue," Dunne added. "This was one of the first commercials and onscreen productions I've done that was that big and where I had to remember a script and honestly, it was so authentic... It was really just a match made in heaven. It was so creative and the production was so cinematic, and I'm so excited for everybody to see the commercial."

Nate Davis is here to remind Bears fans to pump the brakes. 🏈 The Cincinnati Bengals are once again open to trade All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. Nate Davis has seven teams that might have the need and wherewithal to make a move for Hendrickson. 🏈 Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he expects to pick the team's Week 1 starting quarterback by the end of the week. How could that quarterback room look when the Browns are down to their 53-man roster? Could they conceivably keep four quarterbacks? 🤔 🏈 When your choices are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener and rookie Tyler Shough, it might some more time to decide which quarterback to start in Week 1.
