Ever since Oleksandr Usyk beat Anthony Joshua twice in a row to secure the IBF, IBO, WBA Super and WBO World Heavyweight Championship titles, boxing fans have been waiting for him to fight Tyson Fury. The two fighters have not been able to come to an agreement, so in the meantime Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) is going to fight Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs). Dubois is Usyk’s mandatory challenger for his WBA Super World Heavyweight belt, and since the fight with Fury isn’t materializing, the WBA has forced Usyk to defend his title. Usyk hasn’t fought since the second Joshua bout in August of 2022. Dubois’ last fight was in December of 2022 when he got a TKO victory over Kevin Lerena in round 3. Usyk is the heavy favorite, but he’s risking his chance at Fury by taking this fight.
Usyk vs Dubois will be broadcast on ESPN+ at 5:00 p.m. ET. The actual event will start three hours before that, but ESPN+ is only going to broadcast the main fight in the U.S., not the undercard fights. Here’s everything you need to know to watch boxing online this weekend on ESPN+.
How to watch Usyk vs Dubois on ESPN+
If you’re in the U.S., you can watch Usyk vs Dubois on ESPN+. Unfortunately there is no ESPN+ free trial, but a subscription costs just $10 per month or $100 for a full year, making it one of the cheaper options for live streaming boxing. ESPN and Top Rank are partners, so you’ll get a lot of action from Top Rank’s stable of fighters, such as Tyson Fury, Naoya Inoue and Teofimo Lopez. If you’re a fan of Disney+ and Hulu, you can pair all three services together in the Disney Bundle for just $13 per month.
How to watch Usyk vs Dubois from abroad with a VPN
If you’re currently abroad, there’s a chance ESPN+ won’t have the fight. For instance, in the U.K. the fight is being broadcast on TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport). If you want to watch the stream via ESPN+, you can simply trick your computer into thinking you’re in the U.S. With one of the best VPNs for streaming, it’s very simple. Just connect to a server in the U.S., then sign into ESPN+ like you’re back in the states. We recommend NordVPN as the best VPN in general. Right now plans start at under $4 per month when you commit to a two-year plan.
