Usyk vs Dubois 2: Start time, undercard and how to watch fight
The pair are set to renew hostilities after Usyk beat the Briton via ninth-round TKO in 2023, but only after rising off the canvas from a contentious low blow.
Usyk then went on to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in the four-belt era when he outpointed Tyson Fury in May last year, but vacated the IBF title before beating the Briton again in December.
After Dubois was upgraded to IBF champion in the meantime, he underlined his status by brutally knocking out Anthony Joshua under the Wembley arch last September, and will hope for a similar outcome as he returns to the same venue to clash with Usyk.
Undisputed status awaits the winner. Here's everything you need to know.
When is the fight?
Usyk vs Dubois 2 will take place on Saturday 19 July at Wembley Stadium in London. Timings are yet to be announced, but the main card is likely to begin at 7pm BST (11am PT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET), with main-event ring walks following at roughly 10pm BST (2pm PT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET).

Prize money
It is unknown exactly how much each boxer will earn, but a report from RBC Ukraine claims the total purse will be just over $200m, with a split of 65 per cent to Usyk and 35 per cent to Dubois. So, it is believed Usyk will make $132m (approximately £97.5m), while Dubois will make $71m (approximately £52.5m).
Those sums would be career highs for each boxer; Usyk reportedly earned $114m in his rematch with Fury, and Dubois allegedly made $4.6m for his bout with Joshua – before his pay-per-view cut took that number to $13m.

From Great British success to the farce of the electronic line calling system, here are the highs and lows of Wimbledon 2025
As the dust settles on Wimbledon for another year, it is Jannik Sinner who will be celebrating after his four-set defeat of Carlos Alcaraz. It was a sun-drenched and often scorching two weeks at the All-England Club as a heatwave engulfed SW19. Along the way there were some terrific highs and some rather forgettable low points at tennis' most storied Grand Slam. From the brilliantly-performing Brits to the farce surrounding the lack of line judges, this year's Wimbledon had it all. And so, with proceedings now brought to a close at Wimbledon for 2025, the grass that has been churned into dust along baselines can now rest once again. Here, Mail Sport's Matthew Lambwell takes a look at the biggest highs from this year's tournament. Highs Sonay Kartal and Cam Norrie For all the attention on Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper, it was two less fashionable Brits who stole the show. Kartal reached the last 16, showing that you do not have to be from a wealthy background, or a child prodigy, or tall and willowy to be a top British tennis player. As for Norrie, after the worst 18 months of his career when it looked as though the game might have passed him by, he played some of the finest tennis of his life to reach the quarters. His competitive spirit burns as fiercely as ever. The magnificent seven The super Tuesday on which seven Brits won through to the second round was the high watermark from a parochial perspective. Leading the way were a corps of US college boys whose progress we will follow keenly. Oliver Tarvet, who came through qualifying and acquitted himself well against Carlos Alcaraz in the second round, was most impressive. Aryna Sabalenka This has been a poor tournament overall but it is no coincidence two of the matches that will live in the memory involved the Belarusian world No1. Her tight third-round win over Emma Raducanu and her semi-final defeat by Amanda Anisimova were packed with tension and incident. Where some players can seem robotic she is so vibrantly human - from her screams of exertion, triumph or frustration to her frank admission to being 'p****d off' by Anisimova's behaviour. Lows The same old faces on commentary Given this was the first Wimbledon fully under the auspices of BBC head of sport Alex Kay-Jelski - he took over just before the last edition - we expected more of a shake-up in the commentary box. Instead it was the same old faces. There are valid reasons why Nick Kyrgios was not retained by the Beeb but some fresh blood from more recently retired players is needed. The heat We should not complain too much about a fortnight with only one day of serious rain but the heat was unbearable for much of the start and end of the fortnight. The courtside seats on Centre were sparsely populated simply because it was impossible to sit in 30C sun with no shade for that long. As the climate crisis continues this is only going to get worse. If the mooted shakeup of the tour ever transpires, there is a good argument for shifting Wimbledon back by a few weeks – when it is usually slightly cooler - to create a genuine grass court swing. Electronic line calling The players' complaints over its accuracy are simply not grounded in reality but there is no doubt the system was a disaster on its first outing at Wimbledon. Amid the malfunctions, the most consistent issue was how difficult it was for fans and even players to hear the calls, especially on the noisy stadium courts. Next year Wimbledon should introduce some visual signal - as we always had with line judges. IN or OUT could be displayed on the screens. And here's an idea - for very close ones, instead of announcing the call straight away, do a zoomed in replay on the big screen, in the style of the old challenges which added such drama. Best match Women: Amanda Anisimova bt Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 (semi-final). Men: Carlos Alcaraz bt Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (semi-final) Best shot Corentin Moutet against Francisco Comesana. The Frenchman dummied to hit an overhead then let the ball bounce and hit a half-volley drop shot - through his legs. Two sets to the good and four games away from check a first victory over a world No1 for 12 years, Grigor Dimitrov collapsed to the court with a scream of pain, clutching an abdominal muscle which had torn with the effort of another huge serve. What a let-off for Jannik Sinner.

Cole Palmer hits back at critics after firing Chelsea to Club World Cup glory
Asked how excited he was by the team Maresca is building at Stamford Bridge, the England international told DAZN: 'He's building something special, something important with a young team. Everyone's talked a lot of s*** about us all season, but I feel like we're going in the right direction.' Cole Palmer scored twice and set up the third goal in a 3-0 victory over Paris St Germain (Seth Wenig/AP) Reflecting on the game, Palmer added: 'Obviously it's a great feeling, even better because everyone doubted us before the game. We knew that and to go out there and put a fight on like we did against a great team, yes, it's good. 'The gaffer put a great gameplan out. Obviously he knew where the space was going to be and he tried to free me up as much as possible, and I just had to repay him and score some goals.' The showdown with Luis Enrique's men proved a tactical triumph for Maresca as Palmer struck after 22 and 30 minutes with almost identical pinpoint left-foot finishes before playing in summer signing Joao Pedro for the third two minutes before the break. PSG's misery was complete five minutes from time when Joao Neves was sent off for pulling back Marc Cucurella by his hair, and there was something of a melee on the final whistle during which Pedro ended up on the ground. FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP WINNERS!!! 🏆 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 13, 2025 However, Maresca was thrilled with what he had seen from his players. He said: 'No words for the players. They deserve [this]. It's a good moment. 'For me, we won the game in the first 10 minutes. In the first 10 minutes, we set the tempo, we set the way we wanted to play. We were very good. 'Unfortunately with the weather conditions, it is not easy to continue for 90 minutes, but I think we won the game in the first 10 minutes.' Asked how excited he was ahead of the new season, Maresca added: 'Yes, very excited, but a bit more excited that we have three weeks off now.'
