Daniel Dubois puts his heavyweight resurgence to the ultimate test when he faces Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley on Saturday night.
Usyk stopped Dubois in nine rounds when they met in Worclaw, Poland in August 2023. The Ukranian maestro dominated the action before Dubois was counted out having taken a knee.
However, a controversial moment in round five, where Usyk was floored by a low blow, set us on the path to this rematch.
Team Dubois insisted the shot was legal and their man should have been crowned unified heavyweight champion. It was a spurious claim, by most accounts, but Dubois’s thrilling response has legitmately established him as Usyk’s most worthy foe.
Impressive wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in Riyadh preceded Dubois dismantling Anthony Joshua over five brutal rounds at Wembley in September last year.
Dubois had been upgraded from interim to full champion by the IBF before the Joshua fight after the sanctioning body stripped Usyk for going into an immediate rematch with Tyson Fury.
The former cruiserweight ruler boxed brilliantly for back-to-back wins over the ‘Gypsy King’, who followed Joshua in being unable to avenge an initial loss to Usyk. Dubois must now succeed where his compatriots failed.

Vladyslav Sirenko vs. Solomon Dacres
7:10 p.m. BST/ 2:10 p.m. ET: Sirenko has 11 first-round knockouts on his record but Dacres gets out of the first session and has had some success, marking his opponent slightly under the right eye. Sirenko appears content to march forward behind a high guard and let bombs go. Dacres is boxing skilfully but lacks elite power, so will have to stay switched on.
6:55 p.m. BST/ 1:40 p.m. ET: Up next, we have the first of three Ukraine vs. UK. Sirenko has an imposing 22-0 record with 19 KOs, but that’s come against fairly moderate opposition. Dacres is stepping straight back in with another power puncher after being blasted out in a round by David Adeleye to suffer a first career defeat, but the former Team GB squad member will fancy his chances of causing some problems here.
Aadam Hamed vs. Ezequiel Gregores – HAMED WINS (PTS 4)
6:40 p.m. BST/ 1:40 p.m. ET: Referee Amy Pugh unsurprisingly scores it 40-36. Hamed popped the jab a little more concussively during the second half but was content enough to bank the rounds and keep his shape en route to a comfortable victory. There’s plenty to like about the Jamie Moore prospect, who could probably trim down to super lightweight and will surely step up his rounds and level of opposition next time out.
6:30 p.m. BST/ 1:30 p.m. ET: Hamed boxing smartly behind the southpaw jab, getting in and out with his feet and not rushing his work. It’s easy work, with little to nothing coming back from Gregores. Will he push for the stoppage over the second half of this four-round contest?
6:20 p.m. BST/ 1:20 p.m. ET: Aadam Hamed is on his way to the ring, with rain falling in London. Hamed is the son of British boxing icon ‘Prince’ Naseem. He faces 31-year-old Argentine journeyman Ezequiel Gregores and, barring anything utterly unforeseen, he’ll be moving to 6-0 as a pro. Gregores has proven tough to shift over the course of his career, although he has been stopped twice in his past three defeats, suggesting his durability might be on the wane.
6 p.m. BST/ 1 p.m. ET: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois for the undisputed world heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium.
