Usyk vs. Dubois full undercard

The undercard action gets underway at 11:40 a.m. ET.

- Lawrence Okolie vs. Kevin Lerena – heavyweight

- Daniel Lapin vs. Lewis Edmondson – light heavyweight

- Aadam Hamed vs. Ezequiel Gregores – super lightweight

- Lasha Guruli vs. James Francis – super lightweight

- Vladyslav Sirenko vs. Solomon Dacres – heavyweight

Lawrence Okolie vs. Kevin Lerena

Former cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie continues his rise through the heavyweight ranks with a major step up against South Africa’s Kevin Lerena. Both men have moved up from cruiserweight, but Okolie carries serious size and power advantages into this one, boasting a four-inch height and nine-inch reach edge. Lerena, best known for knocking down Daniel Dubois three times in one round before being stopped, faces a tough ask here. Okolie is expected to use his physicality to break Lerena down, with a stoppage inside six rounds looking likely.

Daniel Lapin v Lewis Edmondson

Unbeaten Brit Lewis Edmondson gets the biggest opportunity of his career as he takes on towering Ukrainian southpaw Daniel Lapin for the IBF Intercontinental and WBA Continental light heavyweight titles. Fighting at Wembley Stadium is a dream come true for Edmondson, who hopes to one day headline at St Mary’s in Southampton. Lapin, a 6′6″ stylist with ties to Oleksandr Usyk’s camp, poses a serious threat with his size and slickness. Both men come in unbeaten at 11-0, but with Lapin enjoying a five-inch height and reach advantage, Edmondson will need to close the gap and turn this into a physical fight if he’s to pull off the upset.

Aadam Hamed v Ezequiel Gregores

Aadam Hamed, son of British boxing legend Prince Naseem, continues his early pro journey with a showcase bout against Argentina’s Ezequiel Gregores. Hamed, 5-0, brings slick footwork and fast hands into his first major stadium card, looking to impress under the Wembley lights. While Gregores holds far more professional experience with 27 fights, the Argentine has lost 24 of them—making this a clear step up in exposure, not danger, for the young Brit. With pressure to live up to the family name, all signs point to another dominant display as Hamed looks to maintain his perfect record and build momentum toward tougher tests.

Lasha Guruli v James Francis

A standout on the Usyk vs. Dubois undercard, Olympic bronze medalist Lasha Guruli, from Georgia, steps into the pro ring for a six-round super‑lightweight clash with Liverpool’s James Francis (7–1). Guruli, fresh from his Olympic success and bronze at the 2024 Games, brings amateur pedigree and youth; he’s only fought once as a pro, which he won. Francis, by contrast, is seasoned with eight pro outings under his belt. While Francis has the experience edge, Guruli’s sharp instincts, defensive prowess, and amateur accolades position him as the betting favorite. Expect Guruli’s technical skills and Olympic sheen to shine through early as he looks to extend his pro career with a measured performance at Wembley.

Vladyslav Sirenko vs. Solomon Dacres

Undefeated Ukrainian heavyweight Vladyslav Sirenko, with a 22-0 record, faces England’s Solomon Dacres, with nine wins out of ten fights, in a 10-round undercard battle at Wembley. Standing at about 6′3″ with an 86% knockout rate, Sirenko brings formidable power and pro experience dating back to his 2017 debut, backed by an impressive amateur pedigree. Dacres, taller by an inch but with one defeat, arrives as a technically sound challenger aiming to counter Sirenko’s aggression. Matchmakers expect Sirenko to press early and impose his strength, while Dacres will aim to frustrate him with movement. With Sirenko firmly favored (around –630), the clash is expected to be a classic power-versus-technique showdown.
