How to Watch: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois II

Two of the best heavyweights in the world are meeting for the second time with professional and personal stakes.

A win for Oleksandr Usyk would make him a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, regaining the world title he vacated last year. It would erase any lingering controversy from his first win over Daniel Dubois in 2023. And it would potentially send Usyk off into the sunset, retiring on a high note after a stellar amateur and professional career – unless he looks at the long list of potential opponents and decides it is worthwhile to continue on for a little longer.

A win for Dubois, meanwhile, would be both a storybook ending and a new beginning. He’s had high expectations and low points. He’s had a pair of setbacks and three big wins since. He has one world title and is one win away from becoming the undisputed champ, setting up even more big matches. Every new king is going to have people trying to take his throne.
