In a jaw-dropping development that has stunned the boxing world, Daniel Dubois has officially pulled out of his highly anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, just weeks before the fight was set to take place.

🛑 The Shocking Announcement

The news broke only moments ago through a statement released by Dubois’ management team:

“Due to unforeseen personal circumstances and medical concerns, Daniel Dubois will not be able to proceed with the scheduled rematch against Oleksandr Usyk. This was a difficult decision, but his health and long-term career come first.”

The announcement has left fans, promoters, and broadcasters reeling, especially given the enormous hype surrounding the rematch — billed as Dubois’ shot at redemption after their controversial first encounter in 2023.

💥 “Everything Was Ready… and Then This.”

According to multiple sources, both camps had finalized training camp logistics, press appearances, and promotional events for the fight scheduled in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, next month.
One insider close to the event said:

“Everything was ready. Contracts signed. Tickets selling out fast. And then this — completely out of nowhere.”

🤕 What Went Wrong?

While the official statement references “medical concerns,” rumors are already swirling. Some claim Dubois has re-aggravated an old shoulder injury, while others suspect mental health or internal camp issues may have played a role. Neither Dubois nor his trainer Shane McGuigan has addressed the media directly — at least not yet.

⚠️ Usyk Camp Responds

Team Usyk wasted no time reacting. His promoter, Alex Krassyuk, expressed frustration:

“It’s disappointing, no question. Usyk was ready. The fans were ready. This was meant to be settled once and for all.”

Despite the letdown, Krassyuk says Usyk will still fight, and they are now “actively seeking a new opponent” for the same date.

🥊 Fans React

Social media exploded within minutes of the news, with reactions ranging from heartbreak to fury. The hashtag #DuboisPullsOut is already trending worldwide.

One fan tweeted:

“I booked flights to Saudi for this fight. What a disaster!”

Another wrote:

“Respect to Dubois if he’s hurt — but the timing is unbelievable. This changes everything.”

🚨 What’s Next?

As of now, the future of the rematch is unclear. Will it be rescheduled later this year? Or is this the end of Dubois vs Usyk II?

One thing is certain:

The boxing world was ready for war — and now it’s left with silence.
