Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2: Date, start time, TV channel, and undercard
Daniel Dubois will look to avenge his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk when the two heavyweights collide at Wembley Stadium this weekend. The two fighters squared off back in 2023, and it was Usyk who emerged victorious via a ninth-round TKO. However, the fight was not without its controversy, after the Ukrainian rose from the canvas midway through the fight following a controversial low blow. Usyk went on to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion in May the following year with a win over Tyson Fury, and beat the Gypsy King again in December after vacating the IBF title. That belt fell into the lap of Dubois, who underscored his world champion credentials with a devastating knockout of Anthony Joshua last year. Now, almost two years on from their first fight, both Dubois and Usyk will run it back with undisputed status on the line. Ahead of fight night here is everything you need to know, including the ringwalk time, undercard details and how to watch on TV and live stream. Usyk vs Dubois 2 will take place on Saturday 19 July at Wembley Stadium in London. The first fight on the undercard is scheduled for 5.35pm, with the ringwalks set to take place at roughly 9.45pm. The entire fight card will be shown live exclusively on DAZN pay-per-view. In the UK, it is priced at £24.99, with viewers also receiving seven days full access to DAZN with their purchase. While Usyk and Dubois top the billing, there are several other big names on the Saturday's fight card. Lawrence Okolie continues his journey at heavyweight and takes on the experienced Kevin Lerena, who previously fought Dubois, for the WBC Silver heavyweight title. Elsewhere, Lewis Edmondson challenges Ukraine's Daniel Lapin for the IBF Inter-continental title, while 'Prince' Naseem's son Aadam Hamed continues his professional career against Ezequiel Gregores.

Tyson Fury performs U-turn on dad John after Oleksandr Usyk rematch snub
Fury's father John has played a big role throughout his son's career - but was famously snubbed ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in December Tyson Fury has made a surprising admission that he would welcome his father back into his corner if he decides to make a boxing comeback. Fury retired in January after consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. The pair first faced off in May 2024, with Usyk emerging victorious from an intense bout. They met again seven months later, and despite Fury's more aggressive start, the Ukrainian once again claimed victory over the 'Gypsy King.' The Morecambe brawler made several changes to his approach ahead of the sequel. Fury's biggest change on fight night saw him make a slight tweak to his corner after his father John received a lot of criticism for his advice in the first contest with Usyk. In an interview with Seconds Out, Fury was asked if his father John would be in his corner once more if he returns to boxing. 'Yeah, my dad never left," he said. Ahead of the rematch, head trainer SugarHill Steward confirmed Fury Sr would not be present in the corner. "Tyson Fury is just ready right now, along with myself. He has always had a silly demeanour, and playing around but this is a different side of him. he is 100 per cent ready," he said. Pushed on who will be in the corner, he added: "Just myself, Andy Lee and the cutman, pretty much that's it," reports All Out Fighting. Following the initial encounter, Fury's corner, which included his father John, faced backlash after they were seen on footage telling their man he was ahead and did not require a knockout to win. A visibly animated Fury Sr was spotted during the undisputed showdown, vocally shouting and screaming at his son, prompting confusion from many fans. Months on from the sequel, Fury remains adamant that he should have been declared the winner in his rematch last December against the Ukrainian, stating, "My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs ***. "I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday.' When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Earlier this month, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh shocked the boxing world after confirming Fury's return. In a post uploaded to X - formerly known as Twitter - he wrote: "The 'Gypsy King' will be back!!! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in have a rabbit to hunt!" And Fury quickly reposted that onto his own story, with the caption: "Let's see what 2026 brings," followed by multiple dollar signs and laughing faces. Following the announcement online, Fury later claimed the third fight between him and Usyk will take place on April 18, 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old took to Instagram and posted a fight poster of both him and the Ukrainian, along with the caption: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets."

Tyson Fury told to forget about boxing return after Oleksandr Usyk defeats
Fury recently announced his return to the ring - but a boxing legend is adamant the two-time world champion will never come back British boxing icon Amir Khan has cast doubt on Tyson Fury 's return to the ring after suffering consecutive defeats at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk. Fury faced off against Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown in May 2024, where he was narrowly edged out by a split decision. In their rematch seven months later, despite an improved performance from Fury, Usyk once again emerged victorious on points. Just a few weeks after the second bout, the 'Gypsy King' announced his retirement, but over the last few months, he has hinted at a potential return to the ring. Earlier this month, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh confirmed Fury's boxing comeback, posted: "The 'Gypsy King' will be back! ! ! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt!" Despite this announcement, Khan remains sceptical about Fury's return to action. In a chat with Genting Casino, the ex-light-welterweight world champ expressed his doubts: "I don't think Tyson Fury will ever come back in my opinion. I don't think he'll come back. If he fights Usyk, I think Usyk wins that fight easily again. Maybe easier than the last two," reports All Out Fighting. 'Usyk has got his number, he just knows how to beat him and how to do well against him. Usyk obviously has the confidence and then you've got Tyson going off and being inactive. Usyk is still active, he's still training, still fighting, whereas with Tyson he's taking too much time out, and you're only getting older and slower, you're aging. You're not performing the same. And that's when ring rust is going to kick in as well.' It seems as if both Fury and Usyk will clash for a third time following Alalshikh's post that the latter will be making a stunning comeback in 2026. After going 24 rounds with the Ukrainian, the 'Gypsy King' remains adamant that he at least won the rematch back in December. 'My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs ***," he said. 'I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday.' When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Following the announcement of his return to the ring, British boxing sensation Fury revealed that his third bout with Usyk is set for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old shared a fight poster featuring him and the Ukrainian on Instagram, captioning it: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." In response to Fury's post, Sergey Lapin, head of Team Usyk and CEO of Ready To Fight, issued a statement: "The idea of a third fight with Tyson Fury has been on the table between our teams ever since their second bout. And I have never had any doubt that, together with Goldstar Promotions, we could turn it into a reality." He continued: "Right now, both Oleksandr Usyk and our team are fully focused on the upcoming fight with Dubois on July 19 and on achieving the historic goal of becoming a three-time undisputed world champion. As you've probably noticed, focus and total commitment are at the core of the champion's and the team's strategy. When this goal - three-time undisputed - is accomplished, and the dust settles, we'll be open for the next round."
