The stage is set for a monumental heavyweight showdown as Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) prepare to battle for the undisputed heavyweight championship at London's iconic Wembley Stadium in just 11 weeks.
TicKet sales for this highly anticipated rematch have exploded, with an impressive 60,000 seats claimed within the first 24 hours of availability, according to Boxing Scene. With Wembley's 90,000-seat capacity, the event is tracking for a complete sellout as boxing fans rush to witness this heavyweight spectacle.
Ticket prices reflect the magnitude of the event, starting at £46.96 (approximately $60) for the most distant seats, while premium ringside positioning commands significantly higher prices. The most exclusive tickets currently available are priced at £2,815.60 (approximately $3,600), with various price points in between to accommodate different budgets.
The fighters have history, having previously met in August 2023 in Wroclaw, Poland, where Usyk secured a ninth-round knockout victory. That bout featured a controversial moment in the fifth round when Dubois landed a punch that sent Usyk to the canvas. The referee ruled it a low blow, allowing the Ukrainian time to recover – a decision that sparked outrage from Dubois' team. Their subsequent appeal was rejected, with fight statistics showing Usyk's clear dominance throughout the contest.
Tension is already building between the two fighters, who recently faced off at Wembley Stadium in a promotional event that turned physical when Dubois pushed the Ukrainian champion. Statbet analysts note that such pre-fight confrontations often translate to more aggressive in-ring performances, potentially making this rematch even more explosive than their first encounter.
With both fighters boasting impressive knockout percentages – particularly Dubois with 21 KOs in 22 victories – boxing enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating whether the rematch will follow a similar pattern to their first meeting or if Dubois can capitalize on lessons learned to change the outcome.
As fight night approaches, speculation continues to mount about Usyk's future beyond this bout, with the champion reportedly discussing potential plans for what would be his final professional fight after the Dubois rematch.
