Latest Usyk vs Dubois II Odds
Usyk vs Dubois 2 odds are now available across sportsbooks. We checked the top bookmakers and boxing sites with betting options to find the best odds for the fight.
Usyk gets the favorite tag once again after living up to it the last time he faced Dubois. After dispatching ‘Dynamite’, Usyk beat Tyson Fury twice to keep his unbeaten record intact. Dubois is not exactly a longshot in this fight, but Usyk’s odds will be unlikely to attract many bettors to place a straightforward bet on his victory.
Dubois defended his IBF strap the last time he fought at Wembley, but Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois II betting odds are still labeling him as the underdog. The Londoner will look to make his home advantage count, but isn’t invincible here, having already tasted defeat in the English capital before. So, the local boy faces another uphill battle against the nigh-on-invincible Usyk.
Oleksandr Usyk Recent Boxing Form
Usyk has stepped into the ring twice after seeing off Dubois in Wroclaw. He fought Fury at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh in May 2024. After winning via split decision, Usyk returned to the same venue in December. This time, he convinced the judges to register a unanimous decision win against the Gypsy King.
Usyk Advantages Over Dubois
Usyk loves to make the most of his footwork and keep opponents guessing about his next move. We saw him move fluidly around the ring and control the distance effectively in the first fight between these two. This allowed him to escape Dubois’ heavy hitting and find some great windows to hit the Englishman hard. Usyk will rely on his mobility once again to get the better of Dubois.
Daniel Dubois Recent Boxing Form
Dubois has also been active after losing to Usyk. He beat Jarrell Miller in Saudi Arabia before challenging Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF title. After regaining his world champion status, Dubois made his Wembley Stadium debut last September. He knocked out Anthony Joshua with seven rounds to spare and defended his title successfully.
Dubois Advantages Over Usyk
It’s important to consider the strengths of both fighters over each other to make a sensible Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 prediction. Dubois will be banking on his raw power to get the result in his favor this time around. The IBF champion floored Usyk with a fifth-round body shot last time, so he knows he has a realistic chance at winning this fight if he can land some solid hits.
Best Usyk vs Dubois 2 Predictions
We’ve covered all the key points leading up to our Usyk vs Dubois II betting tips. Now, it’s time to reveal how we expect the rematch to unfold.
Dubois to Win @ 4.00 (3/1)
Usyk has had a remarkable career, but we can’t underestimate the toll of time. He will come to this fight as a 38-year-old. Dubois has a whopping nine-year advantage, and more importantly, he has added a trio of high-profile wins under his belt. So, Usyk will fight against a more mature fighter this time around.
Some would point toward Usyk’s wins against Fury last year. But, it must not be forgotten that the Mancunian fighter did not appear to be at his best in any of those encounters, and he is only two years younger than Usyk. The Ukrainian is still in great shape, but retaining the momentum against a more experienced Dubois will be difficult for him.
Dubois himself has talked about Usyk’s age in the build-up to the fight and announced he will produce a “career-best” display at Wembley. We’ll take him at his word and back him for the win in this one. It’s not like it would be the first time he’s defied betting odds and pulled off an upset either.
Dubois by KO/TKO/Disqualification @ 5.00 (4/1)
1 (100%)
0
Dubois is a true knockout artist, but boxing bookmakers in the UK are underestimating him. All but one of his 21 victories have been knockouts so far. The Queensberry man came close to knocking out Usyk last time as he troubled him with some powerful shots. But in the end, he was the one at the receiving end of a knockout blow.
There was a touch of controversy in that fight as well. Dubois’ right-hand hook seemingly ended the fight, but Luis Pabon, the referee, ruled the hit a low-blow. So, Usyk got enough to get back on his feet and do the groundwork for a ninth-round stoppage win.
Dubois has shown signs of improvement in his later fights. Miller, Hrgovic, and Joshua were all formidable adversaries, but he managed to knock out all of them. If Dubois can time his punches right, he can breach Usyk’s defense and send him to the canvas.
Fight to End Between Round 7-9 @ 4.20 (16/5)
0
(100%) 1
The last fight between these two ended in the ninth round. We are expecting a different outcome this time, but we believe the fight will last a similar duration. Rounds 7-9 seem like the safest range at the moment.
Usyk doesn’t have a knack for knockouts like Dubois, but he still has 14 KO wins in his record. In five of his last six KO wins, the fight lasted between the seventh and ninth rounds. So, even if you are not sold on the idea of a Dubois win, backing the fight to end between Rounds 7-9 is a sensible pick.
Three of Dubois’ last four KO wins have also finished in this range. We expect Usyk to survive the early rounds because of his nimble footwork. But as the fight drags on, stamina comes into play, and here’s where Dubois could well have an edge. We expect Dubois to land his winning blow between the seventh and ninth rounds.
