Britain’s Daniel Dubois is in talks to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title.

IBF champion Dubois withdrew from his title defence against Joseph Parker on 22 February with illness, but will not look to reschedule that fight.

Instead, attention has turned to facing Usyk, who holds all the other major world titles at heavyweight.

Team Dubois are hopeful the fight can take place in the UK, with Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk telling Sky Sports, external that Wembley Stadium was “one of the options”.

Dubois’ most recent defeat was to Usyk in 2023, when he was stopped by the Ukrainian in Poland.
