The highly anticipated showdown for the undisputed heavyweight championship between undefeated Ukrainian star Oleksandr Usyk and hard-hitting Brit Daniel Dubois has been pushed back by one week. Originally scheduled for July 12, the bout will now take place on July 19, according to The Ring.

The venue remains unchanged — the iconic Wembley Stadium in London will still play host to what many are calling the boxing event of the summer. Promoters cited “logistical refinements and the need for additional preparation” as the reasons behind the rescheduling, aiming to ensure "maximum comfort and quality for fans and participants alike."

Usyk, the reigning WBA, WBO, IBO, and WBC champion, enters the ring with an unbeaten record and the aura of a pound-for-pound great. Dubois, holding the IBF title, is determined to avenge his controversial loss to Usyk in 2023 — a bout marred by claims of a low blow that nullified what Dubois' camp insists was a legitimate knockdown.
