Usyk-Dubois Rematch Winner Faces Hrgović Next

Oleksandr Usyk is scheduled to defend his undisputed heavyweight titles in a rematch against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on July 19, with the winner required to face IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgović. Usyk, who has twice defeated Tyson Fury, has stated a preference for a trilogy fight with Fury as his final professional bout, though Anthony Joshua remains a possible opponent. Tyson Fury, despite announcing retirement after two losses to Usyk, has hinted at a comeback and expressed interest in a third fight with Usyk. Promoter Frank Warren and former champion Joseph Parker support a Fury return, while Warren highlights the enduring appeal of a Fury vs. Joshua clash. Anthony Joshua has not fought since his defeat to Dubois last year, leaving the division's future matchups uncertain. Usyk's composed championship reign contrasts with Fury's more controversial reactions, as the heavyweight division anticipates a series of era-defining bouts.
