The fighters have finally weighed in as the eagerly awaited heavyweight rematch between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk draws near, anticipating an exciting battle at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, July 19, 2025.

Weigh-In Results: A 16-Pound Disparity

Daniel Dubois weighed 243.8 pounds during the weigh-in, and Oleksandr Usyk weighed 227.3 pounds. With Dubois weighing 16.5 pounds more than the opponent, this might have an impact on how their next bout plays out.

Notably, Usyk’s weight of 227.3 pounds surpassed his previous highest weight of 226 pounds versus Tyson Fury, setting a new career best for the Ukrainian champion. Dubois, on the other hand, has gained about 10 pounds from their initial meeting in 2023, when he weighed 233.2 pounds.

Implications of the Weight Difference

For the rematch, the two combatants’ weight difference might have important ramifications:

The size and power advantage that Dubois holds is due to his height of 6’5″ and weight of 243.8 pounds. He could be able to force his strength on Usyk since his additional weight might improve his hitting power.

Usyk’s Speed and Agility: At 6’3″ and 227.3 pounds, Usyk may be able to offset Dubois’ strength with his speed, agility, and technical skill. His reduced weight may help him execute defensive plays and footwork more quickly.

The boxers’ disparate fighting styles and physical characteristics point to an exciting fight that may depend on tactics and execution.

Rematch Context: Redemption and Legacy

In the fifth round of Usyk and Dubois’s August 2023 first fight, Dubois seemed to strike a borderline body blow, but the referee judged it low, sparking debate. After recovering, Usyk used a jab to halt Dubois in the ninth.

Since then, Dubois has earned the IBF heavyweight championship by redeeming his reputation with notable wins against Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic, and Jarrell Miller. Dubois hopes to become Britain’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 in the next rematch, which is a four-belt unification fight.
