Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois 2: What time is the fight, how to watch and undercard details
Usyk claimed all four major titles with a win over Tyson Fury by unanimous decision, before Dubois won the IBF interim title with a stoppage against Filip Hrgovic last June.
This was upgraded to full status after Usyk relinquished the title to focus on other fights before Dubois retained the belt with an explosive fifth-round knockout against Anthony Joshua in September.
Now Usyk and Dubois meet for the second time, with controversy from their first bout in 2023 still lingering. Dubois believed he knocked down the Ukrainian legally, but his punch was deemed a low blow before Usyk went on to secure a ninth-round stoppage.
Here is all you need to know about the big fight.

This Saturday, July 19. The ringwalks are expected to begin at 9.45pm UK time, with the first fight of the undercard starting at 5.40pm. These times are always approximate, though.

What people are saying about the fight?
Speaking to Carl Frampton, now working as a DAZN reporter, Usyk said: 'Daniel is a great fighter and has had a very good run since we first fought.
'He is a better fighter since we fought. He is more of a man, more of a boxer. He deserve this shot.
'But he has a little bit of an [mental] issue. He is maybe a little bit afraid. I am too, but my afraid is different to his afraid.
'Wembley will be a show, the people will be supporting Daniel, but in the ring this is my work, I don't hear that. I just work and win.'
Dubois told DAZN: 'I feel like I was robbed out of a victory in the first fight [due to the low blow call]. I think there could be a weakness in him with the body shot.
'I just have to throw the kitchen sink at him this time. I now get a chance to rectify that result, to prove myself. That's what I intend to do.
'I know myself better now. I'm trusting myself better now as a fighter. I have grown up now, I am a better fighter now since the last fight. I've gone from a boy to a man.
'So, I can't wait to get in there now and do the business.
'Wembley is where I did it last time [against Joshua] and I want to do the same again in front of the UK fans.'

Kris Boyd in Rangers signing warning over Mikey Moore
The Ibrox club are favourites to secure the 17-year-old winger for the season, beating competition from English Championship clubs. Moore is eager to move to Glasgow, and the deal is expected to be finalised soon, although some details remain. While the prospect of Moore's arrival has generated excitement, Boyd has cautioned fans to manage their expectations. The former Rangers striker believes that a loan move to either side of the Old Firm carries much higher pressure than a typical loan stint in England's lower leagues. He said: "Moore's a young boy who'll be looking for an opportunity to kick on, but there's a little bit of a risk attached to a first loan move. "He's shown in any opportunities he's had at Tottenham that he has a chance. "But it can be difficult because a lot of Premier League players in England who go out on loan go to a level where they've got time to adapt, whether it's the Championship or other teams who don't have to play under the same pressure as [[Rangers]] and Celtic have." Boyd also highlighted the need for clarity regarding [[Rangers]]' striking options, with Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane potentially leaving the club amid interest from European teams. He said: "The Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane situation needs to be addressed one way or another. "Everybody needs clarity on that pretty quickly. "The league starts on Saturday, and your two most important players on the pitch are your goalkeeper and your number nine. "Rangers are no further forward as to who their number nine is - the top goalscorer from last season is still being linked with moves away, he's not played a lot of football, and he's still got a level of fitness to get to. "For me, there's still no guarantee who's going to be that number nine for Rangers. "If Mikey Moore is to come in, it's a big ask for him to come in and be Rangers' number nine and lead the attack." Boyd's comments come after Russell Martin's first competitive game as [[Rangers]] manager resulted in a 2-0 victory over Panathinaikos in Champions League qualifying. However, Boyd believes there is still much work to be done to get the team where Martin wants them, particularly given the expansive style of play he is trying to instil. He said: "If you go on last week's performance against Panathinaikos, there's still a bit of work to be done for Rangers. "With Russell Martin coming in and implementing a new style, it's not going to be fixed overnight and there's no doubt there were going to be some teething problems and that's going to be the case for a number of weeks. "When you're coming in and you want to implement the style of play that he wants, you're going to make mistakes. "There's going to be scary moments within the games." Martin has previously stated that his squad will look different by the end of the transfer window, suggesting there is still much movement to come, including potential departures.

Olympics legend Denise Lewis and Denise Van Outen join stars at The Grove for landmark event celebrating women's golf
The Grove, one of the UK's most prestigious golfing destinations, hosted a landmark event last week aimed at celebrating and elevating women's golf. The exclusive gathering, titled 'Fore! The Women's Game', welcomed a host of famous faces from the worlds of sport, lifestyle and entertainment for a day dedicated to elevating female golf and expanding its reach to new audiences. Guests included Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis, fellow Olympian Goldie Sayers and actress and presenter Denise Van Outen, along with a number of leading female content creators and athletes. While the group enjoyed time out on the course, the focus of the day was much bigger than the leaderboard. Van Outen hailed the event as a powerful moment for the women's game, saying: 'It has been an incredible day at The Grove, not just enjoying the game but being surrounded by so many inspiring women who are moving golf forward. 'The Grove has created an environment where women's golf continues to be elevated, and events like this are so important in showing what's possible when inclusion and ambition come together.' The event is just the latest move by The Grove, based in Hertfordshire, to champion gender equality in golf. The resort is a proud signatory of The R&A's Women in Golf Charter, which aims to create a more inclusive culture within the sport worldwide. Back in 2023, The Grove hosted the Rose Ladies Series Finale, created by former US open champions Justin Rose and and his wife Kate, to give female professionals more high profile playing opportunities. The venue has also made a point of building a strong and visible female workforce across its operation. Anna Darnell, General Manager at The Grove, added: 'Seeing such a dynamic group of women come together at The Grove for 'Fore! The Women's Game' has been truly inspiring. 'From content creators to sporting icons, each attendee brought energy, insight, and a shared passion for driving progress in golf. Events like this are vital in not only celebrating how far the women's game has come but also in shaping an inclusive and exciting future for the next generation. 'At The Grove, we remain committed to championing equality and creating opportunities for women to thrive at every level of the sport.'

The Guardian view on the Lionesses' Euro 2025 triumph: the comeback queens will inspire future generations
Relentlessly, exhilaratingly, Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses have gone where no group of English footballers has ever gone before. Sunday's heroically hard-fought victory over the world champions, Spain – in a Euro 2025 final which required yet another comeback – was the first successful defence of an international title by a senior England team. It was also the first time a major trophy has been acquired away from the home comforts of Wembley. That gives the measure of the achievement. What will live long in the memory was the manner of it. Well beaten by France in the group stages, 2-0 down to Sweden late in the quarter-final, 1-0 down to Italy in injury time in the semi-final, 1-0 down to Spain at half-time in the final, a remarkable group of players seemed somehow to thrive in such adversity. Their spirit was epitomised by the dogged determination of 33-year-old Lucy Bronze, perhaps playing in her last big tournament, who revealed after the final that she had played throughout with a fractured shin. Courage of a different kind has been displayed by England's goalkeeper and Uefa's player of the match on Sunday, Hannah Hampton, who overcame a serious eye condition to fulfil her ambition of pursuing a football career. And by Jess Carter, the defender who suffered racist abuse earlier in the tournament, but ended it with a faultless performance in the final. The effervescent Chloe Kelly, who had considered quitting last season when her career was in the doldrums, had the last word as England's nerveless penalty-shootout match-winner. Increasingly, such inspirational sporting narratives are the things that young girls' dreams are made of. Research by the Football Beyond Borders charity suggests that the number of 13- to 18-year-olds who play and follow the game continues to grow. This summer's excitement will deliver another huge shot of adrenaline to the domestic women's game, which was already preparing for a different set of firsts. This season, Arsenal Women will break new ground by playing all of their Women's Super League (WSL) home games at the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium. Already, 15,000 season tickets have been sold. Everton Women will take over Goodison Park, one of English football's most beloved stadiums, as the men's team decamp to a new ground on the banks of the Mersey. The Lionesses effect, combined with new television contracts covering two fully professional divisions, and a new Sunday kick-off time designed to maximise exposure of the game, should pave the way for further growth. Challenges remain. As a slight drop-off in WSL attendances last season suggested, rapid bursts of growth driven by international success is not a reliable long-term strategy. The task in the future will be to maintain upward momentum, even when the England women's team is not sweeping all before it. And as more girls seek opportunities to play and pitches to play on, a grassroots infrastructure that has been historically geared to the requirements of men's and boys' teams needs an overhaul. That is for tomorrow, though. Once again the Lionesses have lit up an English summer, forging legends that will fire the imaginations of future generations of girls. The extraordinary Ms Wiegman, after winning the Euros first with her native Netherlands, has consolidated her position as by far the most successful England manager of all time. Even more significantly, she has empowered and inspired a formidable group of athletes to transform the profile of women's sport in this country.
