Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois. Prediction for the Fight on 19.07.2025
On July 19, a major event in the world of boxing will take place: at the iconic Wembley, Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will face off. Our experts have prepared their prediction for this event, which will determine the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Oleksandr Usyk
The Ukrainian fighter has already made history in world boxing, having become the undisputed champion in two weight categories. He can afford to retire at any moment. Usyk has a perfect record, with 23 wins in 23 bouts. His main strengths are his footwork, mobility, and high ring IQ—he is hard to hit, wears down his opponent, and can finish the fight at any moment.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Usyk has "cleared out" the "royal division"; he has beaten both Joshua and Fury twice. His victory in the first fight against Fury made Oleksandr the undisputed champion, but because of the rematch, the Ukrainian had to vacate one of the titles, which now belongs to Dubois.
Daniel Dubois
It is still too early to call the Briton a world boxing star, even though he holds the IBF belt. Dubois claimed his title in a fight against Hrgović, and then defended it by knocking out Joshua—a win that became the highlight of his career.
Dubois’ main assets are considered to be his power and youth—he is 11 years younger than Usyk. In the professional ring, the boxer has had 24 fights, winning 22 (21 by knockout), with two losses. Many say that Dubois has improved since his first fight with Usyk—he’s gained experience and confidence—but even that may not be enough to contend with the swift Ukrainian.
The First Fight
The boxers first met almost two years ago in a bout that became somewhat controversial due to an incident in the fifth round, when Dubois landed a low blow and Usyk needed about five minutes to recover. The fight continued afterwards, and the Ukrainian won by knockout in the ninth round. Many on the British team later claimed that the fifth-round punch was legal, although most experts disagreed.
Prediction
In this fight, Usyk is rightfully considered the favorite. The Briton will not be able to outbox his opponent and will try to rely on his power. Many believe the Ukrainian should win early, likely in the later rounds. We are willing to bet on a victory by knockout for the favorite.
