Anthony Joshua will fight Daniel Dubois for the IBF world title in a battle of British heavyweights at Wembley Stadium in September.
Two-time world champion Joshua, 34, is on a four-fight winning streak and has three stoppages in his past three bouts.
Ukrainian Usyk initially requested that he not be stripped of the IBF belt so the undisputed title could remain on the line when he faces Britain's Tyson Fury in a rematch on 21 December, but then changed his mind. Dubois has won 21 of his 23 fights, while Joshua has 28 victories and three losses. They have a combined 45 knockouts.Joshua will be making his fourth appearance there - and third as a headliner - while Dubois will fight in a main event at a 60,000-plus venue for the first time.From Joe Bugner v Henry Cooper to Lennox Lewis v Frank Bruno, there is something a little bit special about an all-British heavyweight tussle.
Dubois battled unjust criticism afterwards as some labelled him a quitter, with doctors saying he could have lost his eyesight had the fight continued.
