Daniel Dubois’s net worth

Dubois’s next fight will be a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on July 19, 2025.

Usyk knocked out Dubois in their first fight in 2023, handing the Englishman his second loss of his career.

Their bout will take place at Wembley Stadium, with Usyk the favorite to knock out Dubois in his home country.

Daniel Dubois vs Anthony Joshua

The biggest win of Dubois’s career was his shocking upset victory over Anthony Joshua on September 21, 2024.

Both men were coming off the back of comeback victories after suffering defeats to Usyk, with Dubois holding the IBF Heavyweight championship.

Dubois was the big underdog going into the fight, but surprised everyone by dominating the fight before knocking Joshua out in the fifth round after dodging an uppercut and hitting a right hand into the chin of the former world champion.

Joshua has not fought since, but there has reportedly been an agreement for Joshua vs Tyson Fury to finally go ahead.

Daniel Dubois vs Joe Joyce

Dubois suffered the first defeat of his career against Joe Joyce via knockout.

The pair faced off in 2020, with Joyce knocking out Dubois in the tenth round.

Daniel Dubois vs Oleksandr Usyk

The second defeat of Dubois’s career came against Oleksandr Usyk. He challenged the Ukrainian for his Undisputed Heavyweight championship in Poland, in what was the biggest fight of his career at that point.

Sadly, things didn’t end well for Dubois. The Englishman was knocked out in the ninth round, despite a low-blow adding controversy to the Dubois vs Usyk match.
