Daniel Dubois is preparing to step back into the ring after suffering defeat in his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year. The British heavyweight has been the subject of fresh speculation after promoter Frank Warren teased a “big fight” for his return, sparking excitement about what comes next for the 26-year-old.
Dubois faced Usyk for the second time on July 19, 2025, at Wembley Stadium in front of a packed crowd. It was a high-stakes occasion with the undisputed heavyweight titles on the line, but Dubois fell short as the Ukrainian champion stopped him with a devastating fifth-round knockout. Despite showing glimpses of his power and resilience, Dubois was ultimately undone by Usyk’s precision and experience.
The loss was another tough moment in Dubois’ career, but he remains one of the youngest and most dangerous punchers in the division. With 20 knockouts in his 21 victories, his raw power continues to make him a threat to anyone, and a strong return could once again put him in the mix for major fights.
