Since then, he has beaten Tyson Fury to become the undisputed champion but vacated the IBF belt to honour a rematch. Dubois picked up that belt by beating Fillip Hrgovic then defended it against Anthony Joshua in emphatic fashion.

The lone defense of the crown thus far saw Dubois tear through former two-time unified titlist Anthony Joshua in a fifth-round knockout last September 21 at Wembley Stadium in London. The win was his third in a nine-month span.

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will meet again this year to determine the undisputed heavyweight champion. Per BBC Sports' Bobbie Jackson, the two will square off at Wembley Stadium on July 19. Usyk and Dubois last met in August of 2023 when Usyk won via a ninth-round stoppage.
