    Follow Mail Sport’s live blog for the ring walk times, undercard results and round-by-round updates as Daniel Dubois takes on Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley. 

    Dynamite’s last outing under the arch

    We all know what happened last time Daniel Dubois was here at the famous Wembley.

    Dubois was a huge underdog going into his fight with Anthony Joshua in September. Everybody just thought it would be a springboard for Joshua to go on to fight Tyson Fury.

    Well, it wasn’t. In fact, it was a springboard for Dubois to earn his second bite of the cherry against Oleksandr Usyk.

    He didn’t just beat Joshua, he embarrassed him, knocking him down time after time until he couldn’t get back up in the fifth round.

    I remember being stunned, utterly stunned. Nobody saw it coming.

    Tonight, Dubois is vying to shock us all again, and you would be a fool to doubt him.

    Dubois: ‘I can’t be beaten’

    Daniel Dubois, speaking to BBC Sport:

    I have resurrected myself, my career, and now I am on a roll. I am unstoppable, I feel like I can’t be beaten right now. I am in the prime of my life.

    We are here now, so no more excuses. I have got ot beat him this time. I am going to cause chaos, knockouts. I am ready, man, I am ready. Legacy, this is bigger than glory, this is legacy. Putting yourself in history.

    DDD drops in

    Now that is what you call a focused look.

    Not a smile in sight as Daniel Dubois makes his entrance to the stadium where he knocked out Anthony Joshua last year.

    He arrives an hour after Oleksandr Usyk, so much less time for preparation.

    I’m not sure that ill really make a difference, though. Well, I don’t expect it will, but who truly knows?

    ‘Youth has to be an advantage’

    Johnny Nelson, Mail Sport:

    Dubois is 27, 11 years younger than Usyk. Youth has to be an advantage. He has greater raw power, he’s one of the most athletic heavyweights out there and is naturally very strong with a great punch.

    That means he always has a real puncher’s chance. Also, without sounding unkind, Daniel Dubois’ ignorance could work in his favour.

    Inside Usyk’s camp

    Want to know how Oleksandr Usyk got to his career high weight? Of course you do.

    My colleague Charlotte Daly was invited into the three-belt world champ’s fight camp, which is pretty cool, am I right?

    It’s fair to say she learned a lot about the Ukrainian, who is still working at peak performance even at 38 years of age.

    I urge you to give this a read; you won’t regret it.

    WATCH: Usyk and Dubois weigh in

    Have you guys seen the weigh-in?

    Well, if you haven’t seen it, then you are in luck. I’m being such a nice guy to all of you by sharing the link to it. Yeah, I know… so kind of me.

    Oleksandr Usyk is now a big boy certified.

    The Ukrainian has come in at 227.2lbs, which is the heaviest he has ever weighed during his whole career.

    Dubopis, meanwhile, is 10lbs heavier than he was in the first fight at 243.8lbs.

    Ramsey backs Dubois

    OK, maybe I was wrong, Gordon Ramsey seems to be walking just fine. What a trouper.

    Anyway, he has given his prediction for the fight tonight, and it’s pretty clear who he is backing. Strong words.

    I must say, the age will be a huge factor, like Ramsey says.

    Famous faces

    Here are those big names that I was talking about.

    We are less than two hours from the main event, so the VIP section is slowly starting to fill up as anticipation grows.

    Frank Bruno is one of bug guns in the building, while it seems Gordon Ramsey has managed to find function in his legs again after completing his Iron Man 70.3 last week.

    I mean, he probably won’t be able to get up now that he has sat down; the cramp.

    WATCH: Fighter walks to ring with umbrella

    Well, this says everything.

    Maybe Wembley should have thought about closing the roof for this one because fighters are now walking to the ring under umbrellas. It really is rancid weather in London.

    I can’t imagine Oleskandr Usyk or Daniel Dubois will be fond of getting drenched on their way to the fight, and during it.

    ‘Usyk may have to get off the floor’

    Tony Bellew, former cruiserweight world champion, predicts the fight on BBC Sport:

    Usyk to win anywhere between rounds eight to 12, but I think he may have to get off the floor for the first time in his career. Dubois is at an all-time high with confidence.

    It will take Usyk six or seven rounds to beat that out of him, but by round eight or nine he will be done and then it’s about whether he can continue to absorb what Usyk is dishing out after that.

    ‘Dubois has to start quick’

    George Groves, former super-middleweight champion, speaking at a Midnite Q&A event:

    Dubois has got to start quick. He’s got to be switched on mentally from the changing room and prepare himself to start fast. He wants to bring pressure but educated pressure and hopefully land something heavy and big on Usyk in those first few rounds before Usyk gets his rhythm set and his distance control set up. But if he has success early that’s the best way to start against Usyk.

    Warren watches on

    Frank Warren has already taken his seat, he wants to see all the fights.

    Wembley is still pretty empty, and many of the biggest names in the fight game are yet to arrive. I mean, the fight is still two hours away, so it makes sense.

    But Warren is not just here to watch Daniel Dubois’ date with history. No, he wants to watch anyone and everyone in that ring.

    He could crack a smile at least, though… only joking, Frank. Love the focus.

    Usyk is in the building

    Nope, I’m not talking about three-belt world champion Oleksandr Usyk, but rather the toy he has in his jacket.

    The Ukrainian always brings his Eeyore toy with him to every single fight, big or small, and he has obviously been a very lucky charm so far.

    Dubois’ time to make history?

    This is the moment that Daniel Dubois has been waiting for his whole life.

    When I sat down with Dubois at the Farm Gym last month, with the Wembley Arch taking over the skyline in the distance, he was clear about one thing. Tonight is the night he becomes a legend of the sport; it’s time to create a legacy.

    And going by what I saw in the boxing ring that day, it’s most certainly possible.

    Dubois looked the sharpest and the fittest I have ever seen him, and did it all with a smile on his face.

    If there is one thing I know for sure, Dubois will not be feeling the pressure when he steps into the ring tonight. He is ready to shock the world.

    ‘Rain not dampening spirits’

    The rain may be pouring… but it certainly isn’t dampening the atmosphere. Usyk has just arrived, Daniel Dubois is en route and the place is crawling with celebrities.

    From Premier League stars to movie scenes icons, the biggest and best names are turning out for this evening’s event. For Usyk it’s legacy cementing and for Dubois it’s history making. Who knows which way it will go but that’s part of the intrigue right?

    Dubois builds his perfect boxer

    I spent some time with Daniel Dubois in early June as he started his training camp, and well, it was one hell of a day.

    Now, we will get into that later, but first, I wanted to share a nice little game we played on the day.

    Dubois built his perfect boxer, and well, if this was a fighter, there is no way I would want to get near them in the ring.

    I only weigh 73kg and have noodles for arms, mind.

    ‘Dubois needs to get jab going’

    Lennox Lewis, former undisputed heavyweight champion, makes his prediction to BBC Sport:

    Dubois has to get that jab going, push him against the ropes and start combinations – don’t waste punches and stay eager. Remember he is the true heavyweight and needs to press him.

    Usyk is the number one guy, a great boxer and a great champion. When you come you have to come with that in mind and be first and be last with your punches.

    ‘Father Time may get Usyk’

    Eddie Hearn, boxing promoter, gives his prediction to BBC Sport:

    Dubois has a real shot here. He has great confidence right now and sooner or later Father Time may get Usyk. Patriotism aside I think Usyk will drain him and stop him between rounds nine and 12.

    Predictions for Usyk-Dubois?

    I’m feeling a little different tonight.

    Normally, I leave prediction time until just before the fight, but to heck with it, let’s pull the trigger early this evening.

    Most of the people I have spoken to are siding with who many believe is the greates heavyweight of this generation, and maybe all time, Oleksandr Usyk.

    I’ve only met one group of people who are backing Daniel Dubois, and they are those within his camp that I spoke to last month when I watched the Brit train.

    Or am I wrong? Do you guys think Dubois can do what many perceive as unthinkable?

    Let me know in the comments.

    Wet night at Wembley

    As somebody who lives in London, I can tell you all just how horrific the weather has been today in the capital. Honestly, it’s made me quite sad; rain always does.

    It was torrential this morning, and bar a short sunny spell in the afternoon, it’s been pretty grim all day.

    So if you are heading to the fight, follow the lead of these guys… bring your poncho.

    What’s on the line?

    Well, everything. Literally everything.

    Whoever wins tonight will take home all four belts that the heavyweight division has to offer. They will be the best, and nobody could dispute it.

    Now, that must be some feeling.

    Oleksandr Usyk already knows what it feels like, as he took home the WBC heavyweight title, WBO heavyweight title, WBA heavyweight title, and IBF heavyweight title after beating Tyson Fury the first time last May.

    But these days, only three of them are his. The IBF title is currently in the clutches of Dubois, and he is hungry for more.

    Who will have all four draped over their shoulders come 11pm tonight?

    Under the arch

    Yes, Madison Square Garden is top class, then, of course, you simply can’t forget about Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

    Both are amazing, but nowhere hosts a blockbuster bout quite as spectacularly as Wembley Stadium. I don’t know why, but fights under the arch are so special.

    I have no doubt that tonight will be the very same.

    Big night ahead

    Look, I know you are all here for the main event, but nights like these are not just about the big bout at the end.

    Tonight, we have a whopper of an undercard before Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois even get close to Wembley, let alone the ring.

    We are already three fights down on this huge night, but there are still three tasty battles to come.

    • Vladyslav Sirenko vs. Solomon Dacres – Heavyweight
    • Daniel Lapin vs. Lewis Edmondson – Light heavyweight
    • Lawrence Okolie vs. Kevin Lerena – Heavyweight
    • Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois – Undisputed heavyweight championship title fight

    Time for revenge?

    Alexa, play Playback by James Brown… and turn that volume up!

    ‘The brother get ready, that’s a fact. Get ready (something quite rude that I can’t repeat) for the big payback.’

    Yep, you know the lyrics. Well, if you were born before the turn of the century, I hope you would. I’m only 25, and I know it.

    If I were Daniel Dubois, I’d be listening to it on repeat for every single hour taking to the ring at Wembley Stadium at 10pm tonight. That is when he will be out for payback against Oleksandr Usyk.

    23 months ago, Dubois watched the Ukrainian have his hand raised in Poland after he was stopped nine rounds into what was a gruelling battle. Ever since, he has been plotting his revenge.

    Well, now his time has come.

    We waited years for an undisputed heavyweight championship unification fight; now we are having our second in just two years. It feels like Christmas.

    Wembley is ready, I’m ready… are you ready?

    It’s time to get what could be the greatest show of the year, or you never know, the decade, on the road!
