Everyone streaming Usyk vs Dubois live for free must be aware of three warnings

There's a massive night of boxing taking place within the next few hours with Oleksandr Usyk taking on Daniel Dubois in a hotly anticipated rematch. Usyk won their first encounter despite being floored in the 5th round. Having been given over three minutes to recovery due to the punch being controversially clsssed as a low blow, the Ukrainan came back to win to that encounter, now Dubois has his chance to seek revenge.

Ursk v Dubois 2 is taking place tonight at Wembley with the two titans expected in the ring around 10pm. It could be another classic.

"Dubois has a real shot here," said Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn.

"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."

Those wanting to see the rematch will need to grab their wallets. The fight is being streamed exclusively on DAZN and costs whopping £24.99 via the app.

That's pretty pricey, but if it's got you thinking about streaming things online for free, beware.
