More ahead of the Undisputed IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO World Heavyweight Titles' fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois as part of Undisputed: Usyk v Dubois II at Wembley Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Getty Images Usyk (23-0 with 14 knockouts) and Dubois (22-2 with 21 KOs) first faced off in August 2023. Usyk won that matchup via knockout in the ninth round, but there was some controversy with that victory. A body shot from Dubois put Usyk on the deck in the fifth round, but the punch was ruled a low blow. Usyk came back to finish the fight. Dubois and his team appealed the outcome of the fight, but WBA ruled against them, stating: 'After studying all the documents, the conclusions of all the instances and the internal rules of the WBA, it was determined that the appeal does not proceed and the decision of the fight stands with the victory and defence of the champion Usyk.' Since that matchup, Usyk has gone 2-0, beating Tyson Fury in both outings, picking up a split decision in May 2024 and a unanimous decision in December 2024. Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion with his first win over Fury, but he was forced to give up the IBF title before the rematch. Dubois is 3-0 since his loss to Usyk with knockout wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgović, and most recently Anthony Joshua. Dubois claimed the vacant IBF title with his June 2024 win over Hrgovic. He defended that title in September 2024, stopping Joshua in the fifth round. Dubois entered the ring after Usyk's second win over Fury to demand a rematch. 'I want my revenge! I want my revenge, Usyk,' Dubois said, interrupting Usyk's in-ring interview. 'Well done tonight. God bless, but I want my revenge. Let's get it! Let's go!' Usyk looking for promoter Turki Alalshikh, said, 'Make a fight with Daniel Dubois. Thank you so much.' 'Yeah, no problem. I'm ready. Next fight, no problem,' Usyk added when he got back to his interview. 'Now I'm going back home for a little bit of rest, but I'm ready.' The Usyk vs. Dubois 2 matchup, which was reported by The Ring, overcame a potential stumbling block earlier this month when the WBO received a petition to allow Usyk to face Dubois rather than mandatory challenger Joseph Parker. ESPN has Usyk ranked as the No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer, while Dubois is No. 3 in the heavyweight rankings. Forbes Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Full Fight Card Betting Odds By Trent Reinsmith Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Undercard: Lawrence Okolie Vs. Kevin Lerena Lawrence Okolie (left) and Kevin Lerena (right) face off during the weigh-in at BOXPARK Wembley, ... More London. Picture date: Friday July 18, 2025. (Photo by Bradley Collyer/PA Images via Getty Images) PA Images via Getty Images Lawrence Okolie (21-1-0 with 16 knockouts) is a former WBO cruiserweight champ. The 32-year-old lost that title in May 2023 to Chris Billam-Smith via majority decision. Okolie was a 4-1 favorite to retain his title in that matchup. Okolie had two points deducted during the contest for holding. In May 2024, Okolie won the WBC bridgerweight belt with a knockout win over Lukasz Rozanski. He vacated that title in October, and moved up to heavyweight to face Hussein Muhamed, winning the vacant WBC silver heavyweight belt with a first-round knockout. The IBF has Okolie ranked at No. 15. He is the No. 1 fighter in the WBC, and checks in at No. 4 in the WBO rankings. Kevin Lerena (31-3-0 with 15 Kos) picked up the interim WBC bridgerweight title in November 2023 with a unanimous decision win over Senad Gashi. The 33-year-old followed that with a unanimous decision loss to Justis Huni in a bout to determine the WBO Global heavyweight champ. Lerena was elevated to WBO bridgerweight champ after Okolie vacated the belt. He defended that title in May, earning a third-round TKO over Serhiy Radchenko. Lerana said of the fight, "He is a very good boxer, he is a long, rangy is going to throw a lot of backhands, a lot of long right-hands and he is going to work behind his jab. But I have the knack of taking the jab away and I have got the knack of making them miss and making them pay. 'I am by no means a technical, awkward, boring southpaw,' he added. 'I come to fight but I think I need to be calculated in my approach with Lawrence. I will come to fight but I will come to fight with precision and no mistakes, there is no room for error in there and there is definitely no room for mistakes against Lawrence Okolie.' Lerena is unranked at heavyweight. Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Undercard: Daniel Lapin Vs.

(Photo by Bradley Collyer/PA Images via Getty Images) PA Images via Getty Images Two undefeated light heavyweights face off on the Usyk vs. Dubois undercard when Daniel Lapin faces Lewis Edmondson. Lapin (11-0 with four knockouts) won the vacant IBF Intercontinental light heavyweight belt in December when he defeated Dylan Colin via unanimous decision in a safe but effective performance on the Usyk vs. Fury 2 undercard. Edmondson (11-0 with 3 KOs) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Oluwatosin Kejawa. That victory earned him the Commonwealth light-heavyweight title. Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Breakdown Oleksandr Usyk and his team during a press conference at Wembley Stadium, London. Picture date: ... More Thursday July 17, 2025. (Photo by Bradley Collyer/PA Images via Getty Images) PA Images via Getty Images Don't be surprised if Dubois looks to go to the body more in this fight. He and his team believe Usyk is sus[ectible to body shots. Expect Usyk and his team to be ready for this change in approach. When Dubois picked up his pace on body punches in the first fight, Usyk was able to counter over the top, especially with his jab. Speaking of that jab, Usyk was very effective with his lead hand in the first bout, using it to not only land punches but to frustrate his opponent by using it to probe, draw a response from Dubois, and then throwing a jab of his own when Dubois looked to deal with the probe from Usyk. Usyk landed 52 of 206 jab attempts in the first meeting, while Dubois went 13 for 126 for a paltry 10.3 percent landing rate with his jab. Dubois was also susceptible to Usyk's level changes and feints in the first meeting. To make matters worse for Dubois, he keeps a low guard to begin with, which means when he reacts to Usyk, he leaves himself open to be hit. Dubois needs to clean that up, or he will once again be on the wrong end of the landed punch stats (88 to 47). Dubois cannot allow Usyk to lead the dance in this matchup. He found himself reacting throughout the first fight, which put Usyk in the driver's seat. Dubois did not outland Usyk in any round of their 2023 meeting. He did throw more than Usyk in two rounds. Dubois's footwork is predictable, which led to Usyk having success, especially when Dubois backed up and dropped his guard at the same time. Dubois must change up his game plan in this fight. Not only should he look to go to the body more, but he should force Usyk to fight off his back foot a lot more. If he follows the same game plan he did in the first matchup, Usyk will dominate. We will have more on the Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Daniel Dubois 2 fight card as fight night nears.
