Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois betting tips: Best bet and latest odds for fight night
In that time, he has had 23 fights, 23 wins with 14 knockouts, including stoppage wins against Tony Bellew and Dubois first time around.
The pair met back in August 2023, when Usyk secured the knockout in the ninth round in somewhat controversial fashion.
Dubois was judged to have landed a low blow in the fifth round, which floored Usyk, and the Ukrainian was given a maximum of five minutes to recover. He recovered and went on to force the stoppage.
However, after the fight, many voices - including Dubois - questioned the validity of the low-blow decision, and the Brit felt he was robbed of the win.
That was only the second loss of his career, the other one coming against Joe Joyce in 2020, and now he is eying revenge after three wins in a row, including the stoppage win against Anthony Joshua last September.
Usyk to reign supreme
Despite the controversy and Dubois' version of events, Usyk dominated every round last time out and has since beaten Tyson Fury twice to further cement his place as the best heavyweight on the planet.
He might be 38, but he is showing no signs of slowing down, and betting boxing sites are all backing the Ukrainian at odds of 1/3, while you can get 3/1 on Dubois and 22/1 on a draw.
While we have no doubt Usyk can go the distance, there are doubts surrounding his British opponent.
Dubois has only gone the distance once, largely due to his explosive power with 21 wins inside the distance, 19 of which have finished inside five rounds.
That said, we can't see that happening this time around against the quality and movement of Usyk, so we're backing Usyk to take control and finish the job in the second half of the fight.

The Open 2025 live: Rory McIlroy plots stunning Royal Portrush comeback as Scottie Scheffler leads
Rory McIlroy hopes to pull off an audacious comeback at The Open 2025 with Scottie Scheffler holding a commanding lead heading into Sunday's fourth round at Royal Portrush. The world No 1 is four shots clear of Haotong Li, with McIlroy able to conjure up both brilliance and the bizarre in an iconic round of golf on Saturday. Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton, Chris Gotterup, Harris English and defending champion Xander Schauffele are among the other contenders hoping to surge up the leaderboard if Scheffler stumbles. The fourth round begins at 8:30am with leaders Scheffler and Li completing Sunday's tee times at 2:30pm on one of golf's greatest days. The Open 2025, Royal Portrush - Fourth round Scottie Scheffler holds a commanding four-shot lead heading into the final round at Royal Portrush Rory McIlroy overcame the bizarre to produce brilliance in a gripping third round to keep hopes of a second Claret Jug alive Scheffler joined by Haotong Li in final pairing with 2:30pm tee time, as McIlroy joins Matt Fitzpatrick at 2:20pm The Open 2025 prize money, Claret Jug winner set to bank $3.1m (£2.4m) Scottie Scheffler on his excellent putting 'Yeah, I think there's some pretty subtle slopes in these greens. I've done a really good job just being committed to my line. 'Today I hit some good putts to start the round. I had a little three-putt there on the second hole, but I felt like I hit two putts the way I wanted to and I didn't let it bother me. I made a really nice putt there on the third hole to keep the momentum going. 'It was a little 10-footer for par, and that was what I felt like was a really important putt, and knocked it in. Then after that I felt like I did some good things out there.' Jack Rathborn20 July 2025 05:00 Rory McIlroy overcomes the bizarre to conjure thrilling charge at The Open 'Oh god,' Rory McIlroy gasped as his ball fizzed a little higher than he anticipated. But then he burst into laughter, 'I was on the golf ball!' The baffling moment on the 11th saw his second shot connect barely millimeters above a buried old golf ball, which proceeded to spit up and out of the ground at contact. The most remarkable golf shot in one of the most remarkable rounds of golf, as a legion of McIlroy supporters weaved their way around the links on a baking day at Royal Portrush. McIlroy's audacious charge towards the imposing presence of Scottie Scheffler at the top of the leaderboard may well fall short on Sunday, but his presence, as the Masters champion, back home in Northern Ireland, conjured a unique moment. It epitomised how McIlroy remains one of the most engrossing athletes to watch in sport, all while Scheffler quietly dismantled both the course and field. There wasn't a blemish in the world No 1's round of 67, with his putter salvaging any minor wobbles. And while it secures a four-shot lead at -14 over Haotong Li at The Open 2025, the day belonged to McIlroy. The 38-year-old stirred early on, putting together three birdies in his first four holes before that bizarre and glorious combined for a five-under-par round of 66 to position him tied for fourth at -8.

Tim Tszyu beaten in world title rematch with Sebastian Fundora, as American pounds Aussie into submission
Tim Tszyu has suffered another devastating setback, losing once again to American Sebastian Fundora in the pair's much-hyped world-title rematch in Las Vegas. Tszyu had been hunting redemption after losing a split-decision bloodbath to Fundora 16 months ago. Instead Australia's former WBO super-welterweight world champ will return to Sydney with his international career at another crossroad following a despairing seventh-round TKO defeat. Saturday night's loss at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena was the 30-year-old's third from his past four bouts, after going unbeaten for his first 24 professional fights. Tszyu also endured a crushing world-title loss last year to big-hitting Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev before Fundora sportingly offered him a rematch after the Sydney slayer knocked out fellow American Joey Spencer in March. Tszyu (25-3, 18KOs) may even consider a move up to the light-middleweight ranks, or hope Keith Thurman lives up to his word after the US star called him out after slaying Brock Jarvis earlier this year in Sydney. More immediately, Tszyu must digest another sapping defeat at the hands of "The Towering Inferno". Last time around against his gangling 197cm opponent, Tszyu had to fight for 10 rounds half-blinded after walking into Fundora's elbow and suffering an horrific cut to an artery at the top of his head. In the return bout, Tszyu fought with more patience but couldn't stay with the near two-metre tall rival. Fundora made a spectacular start, dropping Tszyu in the opening round with a thunderous straight left to the head. Tszyu's cut man Mark Gambin was again under immense pressure after Fundora landed a flurry of punches to open up a nasty wound above the Australian's right eye in the second round. Struggling to cope with Fundora's massive height and reach advantage, Tszyu looked in peril before catching the American with a huge over-hand right in round four. But the Californian, the tallest world champion in all of boxing - continued to throw and land more punches than Tszyu. Tszyu needed to conjure something special. Showing supreme courage to stay in the contest, Tszyu found some joy with his body shots before the fight exploded in a ferocious round seven.
