This Saturday, the biggest boxing event of the year is taking place - the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk (Ukraine) and Daniel Dubois (United Kingdom)!
A massive bout that has already set the boxing world ablaze will be held at the Wembley Stadium in London, England.
The Legendary Rematch
The rematch between Usyk and Dubois has been almost two years in the making. Their previous bout was in August 2023. Usyk won that fight with a knockout in round nine after a controversial low blow he suffered in the fifth round.
Usyk is entering this fight with three heavyweight titles - the WBA, WBC, and WBO. He is looking to add the fourth title to his collection, held by Dubois, the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt, and reclaim his title.
Whoever wins this fight will be crowned an undisputed heavyweight champion. The stakes are high, to say the least.

But, what about boxing betting sites and odds given by the bookies?
Usyk vs Dubois odds are clearly stacked against the Brit. Bookies are giving advantage to the Ukrainian, pricing him at just 1.30 against 3.50 for Dubois. Furthermore, odds are 2.25 that Usyk will end the fight with a KO.
Still, the fight could easily go all the way, and the winner could be determined by the judges. Depending on where you’re shopping for odds, you might find that betting on the fight going the distance is just slightly higher than betting on it ending early.
