Prediction: Daniel Dubois VS Oleksandr Usyk 2025-07-19
The highly anticipated rematch between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk is just around the corner, and I've got my eyes on the prize. Former world champions Shannon Briggs and Tony Bellew have weighed in on the fight, with Briggs predicting a Usyk win, citing the Ukrainian's incredible skills. Bellew, on the other hand, acknowledges Usyk's weaknesses but still thinks Dubois is in for a tough night.
As for the odds, Usyk is the clear favorite across the board, with prices ranging from 1.20 (LowVig.ag) to 1.29 (DraftKings). Dubois, on the other hand, is a significant underdog, with odds as high as 4.4 (LowVig.ag and BetOnline.ag).
In their previous encounter, Usyk knocked out Dubois in the 9th round, after the latter was penalized for a low blow in the 5th round. It's worth noting that Dubois was knocked down in the 5th round, which could be a sign of things to come in the rematch.
My best bet for this fight is Oleksandr Usyk to win, and I'm taking him at 1.22 (FanDuel). While Dubois deserves credit for taking the rematch, I think Usyk's skills and experience will prove too much for him. The Ukrainian's incredible footwork, hand speed, and ring generalship will allow him to outmaneuver Dubois and secure a victory.
As for the total rounds, I'm leaning towards the under 10.5 rounds, priced at 1.83 (BetUS). Given the previous fight's outcome and Usyk's tendency to finish fights with a knockout, I think this one could end early.
So, there you have it – my prediction for the Dubois vs. Usyk rematch. Will Dubois pull off the upset, or will Usyk prove too good once again? Only time will tell, but I'm putting my money on the Ukrainian sensation.
