World heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) will receive 65% of the prize fund for his rematch against Britain's Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs). This will be a record-breaking purse for both fighters—with £150 million (around $203.5 million USD) at stake.
According to news.bet365.com, Usyk is set to earn approximately $132.28 million, while his opponent will take home $71.22 million. For comparison, Usyk received $114 million for his rematch with Tyson Fury.
The bout is scheduled for July 19 in London. Up for grabs are the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO championship belts, as well as the status of undisputed heavyweight world champion. Before the fight, the rivals already held their first face-off at the legendary Wembley, where Dubois shoved Usyk.
For the record, the first fight between Usyk and Dubois took place in August 2023, when Oleksandr knocked out the Brit in the ninth round. Two years later, the Ukrainian enters the rematch as the favorite.
