DANIEL DUBOIS is in talks to rematch Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley for the undisputed heavyweight titles.
Dubois was beaten by Usyk in nine rounds in August 2023 – but only after controversy struck following a low-blow.

The British star has since become IBF champion while Usyk owns the other three WBC, WBA and WBO versions of the gold.
And the Ukrainian’s promoter Alex Krassyuk revealed talks are underway for all four belts to go on the line in the capital.
Krassyuk told Sky Sports: “We are now working on this fight, Wembley as one of the options.”
Usyk, 38, went down in round five after Dubois, 27, landed a shot below the belt line.
But it caused huge uproar as Dubois and his team insisted the punch was legal and even launched an appeal with the WBA.
The result stood and Usyk retained his titles and unbeaten record – setting up two fights in 2024 with Tyson Fury.
He won the first via split-decision in May to be crowned the first four-belt heavyweight undisputed champion.
But to proceed with the December 21 rematch, Usyk was forced to vacate the IBF title, which Dubois inherited after being elevated from interim champ.

Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua, 35, in his first defence in September while Usyk beat Fury, 36, on points once more.
In the ring afterwards in Riyadh, Dubois stormed in and called out Usyk as part of his plot for redemption.
He roared: “Usyk I want my revenge! I want my revenge. I want my revenge for last time. Let’s go. Where is Frank [Warren], let it happen?”
Dubois was scheduled to return on February 22 in Saudi against Joseph Parker in a defence of his title.
But with just two days to go, he fell ill and Martin Bakole flew in from Congo to replace Dubois on just over 24 hours notice.
Parker, 33, knocked out Bakole, 31, in round one and called out both Dubois and Usyk in the aftermath.
