Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2: All you need to know ahead of undisputed showdown

Everything you need to know as Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois get set to collide in a hugely anticipated heavyweight rematch on July 19, with undisputed glory on the line.

The showdown will represent the second time the pair will have squared-off after unified title-holder Usyk secured a stoppage success in Poland in August 2023.

A lot has changed since that night however, so will it be a case of repeat or revenge at London's Wembley Stadium?
