The heavyweight division gets its undisputed champion when Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois meet for a second time at Wembley Stadium in London on July 19th.

This title unification headlines a stacked DAZN pay-per-view card, with the broadcast starting at 12:30 p.m. ET. The current Usyk vs Dubois 2 odds have “The Cat” as a significant favorite to repeat his 2023 victory.

We’ve made our Usyk vs Dubois 2 prediction, plus tell you how you can view the fight and what’s on the undercard.

Usyk vs Dubois 2 Prediction

Dubois comes in riding high after three straight knockouts, including that statement win over Anthony Joshua. But Usyk’s a different animal entirely. The Ukrainian’s already solved the Dubois puzzle once, and despite the controversy over that low blow call in round five of their first fight, he dominated from start to finish.

The 38-year-old Usyk might be giving away 11 years to Dubois, but he’s shown zero signs of slowing down. His back-to-back wins over Tyson Fury proved he’s still got the gas tank and movement to frustrate bigger men deep into fights. That southpaw jab and those angles are going to give Dubois fits again.

Usyk vs Dubois Tale of the Tape

Dubois brings serious power with that 95% knockout rate. Usyk’s faced bigger punchers and made them look ordinary, though. His footwork and ring IQ are on another level, and he’s proven he can take Dubois’ best shots and keep coming.

Look for Usyk to start cautious, feeling out the improved Dubois. But once he finds his rhythm around round four or five, expect him to take control. Dubois will have his moments early, but Usyk’s championship experience and superior conditioning should tell the story in the later rounds.

My money is on Usyk breaking down Dubois again, this time without any controversy. He’ll use that educated jab, sharp counters, and constant movement to wear down “Dynamite” before closing the show late.

Usyk vs Dubois 2 Pick:

• Usyk by KO/TKO or DQ (+125 at BetMGM)

Usyk vs Dubois 2 Odds

In the Usyk vs Dubois 2 odds at BetMGM, Usyk sits as a -300 favorite, giving him a 75% implied probability of winning. That’s about right for a fighter who’s already beaten Dubois and hasn’t lost a professional fight in 23 outings.

What’s interesting is how the books see this bout unfolding. Usyk by decision is +175, while a stoppage pays +125. They’re basically saying another late TKO is more likely than Usyk boxing his way to the cards. It makes sense considering Dubois has only gone the distance once in 24 fights.

For Dubois backers, that +350 on a knockout is tempting. He’s got the power to change any fight with one shot, and we saw him drop Anthony Joshua four times. But landing clean on Usyk is a whole different challenge. The Ukrainian’s defensive skills and movement have frustrated bigger punchers than Dubois.

The over/under on knockdowns is set at 1.5, with the under favored at -200. Both fighters being knocked down pays +450, which reflects how Usyk typically avoids the big shots while systematically breaking down his opponents.

Usyk vs Dubois 2 Undercard

Who Fights Before Usyk and Dubois?

The undercard’s got some serious heat, starting with Lawrence Okolie defending his WBC silver heavyweight belt against Kevin Lerena. Okolie’s making waves at heavyweight after dominating at cruiser, and he’s back at Wembley for the first time since 2018. Lerena’s dangerous, too. Just ask Dubois, who he dropped three times before getting stopped.

Keep an eye on Daniel Lapin versus Lewis Edmondson for light heavyweight honors. Lapin’s Usyk’s training partner and backed by the champ to be a future star. The Ukrainian’s looking to make a statement on the big stage against Britain’s Edmondson.

Aadam “Prince” Hamed, son of the legendary Naseem, faces Ezequiel Gregores at super lightweight. There’s also heavyweight action with Vladyslav Sirenko taking on Solomon Dacres, plus Lasha Guruli meets James Francis in another 140-pound scrap.

This is the kind of card that delivers from top to bottom. With title fights, rising prospects, and boxing royalty all in the mix, fans at Wembley and watching on DAZN are in for a treat well before the main event.
