Daniel Dubois will have the chance to avenge his loss to Oleksandr Usyk when the heavyweight rivals share the ring once again this weekend.

The pair are set to renew hostilities after Usyk beat the Briton via ninth-round TKO in 2023, but only after rising off the canvas from a contentious low blow.

Usyk then went on to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in the four-belt era when he outpointed Tyson Fury in May last year, but vacated the IBF title before beating the Briton again in December.

After Dubois was upgraded to IBF champion in the meantime, he underlined his status by brutally knocking out Anthony Joshua under the Wembley arch last September, and will hope for a similar outcome as he returns to the same venue to clash with Usyk.

Undisputed status awaits the winner. Here’s everything you need to know.

Prize money

It is unknown exactly how much each boxer will earn, but a report from RBC Ukraine claims the total purse will be just over $200m, with a split of 65 per cent to Usyk and 35 per cent to Dubois. So, it is believed Usyk will make $132m (approximately £97.5m), while Dubois will make $71m (approximately £52.5m).

Those sums would be career highs for each boxer; Usyk reportedly earned $114m in his rematch with Fury, and Dubois allegedly made $4.6m for his bout with Joshua – before his pay-per-view cut took that number to $13m.
