Usyk vs Dubois 2 Prediction and Betting Odds

The iconic Wembley Stadium will host the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois for the undisputed boxing heavyweight title on July 19, 2025. The Ukrainian holds the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles. Dubois has the IBF belt, which Usyk vacated one year ago. The Englishman won it by confidently defeating Anthony Joshua last September.

The first fight, a controversial one, took place in August 2023, when Usyk won by knockout in the ninth round. In this article, MightyTips experts will give a Usyk vs Dubois prediction for the rematch while concentrating on each fighter's keys to victory and the odds provided by our long-term partner bet365.

As the odds on Usyk to win suggest, he is the clear favourite, according to the bookies. Two consecutive victories against Tyson Fury, considered by many as the best heavyweight of the modern era, certainly helped the matter, as did the result of the first fight against Dubois. The bookmakers are certain he'll win again and think the fight won't go the distance. The odds on Dubois winning might look attractive, but let's preview the fight and see if they are worth a shot.

After becoming the undisputed champion at cruiserweights, the White Rabbit repeated the feat as a heavyweight, which is truly remarkable. He won 350 fights with only 15 defeats before becoming a pro, and the Olympic gold in London 2012 was the main achievement of his amateur career. Usyk is unbeaten at the professional level with 23 victories, 14 by knockout.

Usyk beats bigger opponents thanks to exceptional footwork and high ring IQ. Lateral movement and the ability to glide around the ring allow Usyk to evade attacks and effectively strike back on the counter.  This southpaw has incredible hand speed and accuracy, which are his keys to outboxing the opposition. Finally, his stamina and endurance are second to none, as he is always ready to maintain a high pace in the championship rounds.

There's just one weakness, obviously - age. Usyk is 38, 11 years older than his rival. The second victory against Fury was a great moment to walk away, but many great champions missed the golden chance to end their careers on a high. Whether Usyk was right to stay and satisfy his boxing hunger one more time remains to be seen.

Dubois had a decent amateur career but no way near Usyk - 70 wins, 12 losses, and the English National Championship as the top achievement. So far, there are 24 fights in his pro career: 22 wins with 21 knockouts and two losses, both by knockout. The last of those came in 2023 against Usyk, when Dubois put the Ukrainian to the floor in the fifth. The disputes about whether it was a low blow have not stopped since, but we'll leave this topic for now.

DDD is a classic power puncher, fighting in the orthodox stance. Dubois has dynamite in his hands, especially the right one, so it's lethal to go into open exchanges with him. The Englishman constantly pressures his rivals from the very first round. He has a decent jab, which he uses to set a crucial blow, but his style can be called straightforward. In the meantime, his defence is far from ideal, and the head movement needs much improvement.

The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career and feels very confident thanks to successive victories against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgović and Joshua, all before the final bell. A puncher will always have a chance, but we all would agree that it's hard to see Dubois outboxing Usyk.

The contrasting styles, Usyk's finesse versus Dubois' brute strength, make this an exciting matchup. With all due respect to Dubois's power, we must remember that Tyson Fury, a much more dangerous and smart boxer, couldn't wobble Usyk seriously during 24 rounds of boxing. If nothing extraordinary happens, this should be another boxing masterclass by the Ukrainian. That's why our choice, using the bet builder, is for Usyk to win and the fight going over 7.5 rounds at 1.90.
