What time is Usyk vs Dubois 2 UK time?
Broadcast start time
UK fans had the most convenient viewing window of any major market. The DAZN PPV broadcast began at 5:30 PM BST, with the undercard starting around 5:40 PM, according to DAZN. The main event ringwalks were expected at 9:45 PM BST—the slot most UK fight fans have come to expect for premium Saturday night cards.
A slight discrepancy existed between sources. While DAZN listed 9:45 PM BST as the main event ringwalk, box.live estimated 9:30 PM BST. The difference likely reflected pre-event planning rather than any broadcast disruption. ESPN confirmed the 9:45 PM BST timing as the primary reference.
Ringwalk expectations
For fans heading to Wembley in person, the 9:45 PM BST ringwalk meant roughly four hours of undercard action before the main event. The PPV price in the UK was £24.99 on DAZN. This placed the event squarely in the standard range for major UK boxing PPVs over the past two years.
Ringwalk times are always estimates until fighters actually enter the ring. A late undercard finish or pre-fight ceremony adjustment can push the main event 15-30 minutes past the scheduled time.
What time is Usyk vs Dubois 2 Pacific time?
US West Coast schedule
American West Coast fans drew a favorable slot by global fight standards. The DAZN broadcast started at 9:30 AM PT, putting the main card roughly in the late morning—comfortable for breakfast viewing rather than the 2 AM rounds that plague UK-friendly events for Pacific audiences.
Ringwalks for the main event landed at 1:45 PM PT, per DAZN. A slightly earlier estimate of 1:30 PM PT appeared on box.live. The DAZN figure carried more weight given their role as the official broadcaster. US PPV pricing was $59.99.
ET conversion
For US East Coast viewers, the DAZN broadcast began at 12:30 PM ET, with ringwalks scheduled for 4:45 PM ET. That placed the main event in the mid-afternoon—late enough for after-work viewing south of the border, but without the prime-time boost that typically drives US pay-per-view buys higher.
The $59.99 US PPV price was notably higher than the £24.99 UK equivalent, a gap that reflects different market expectations for major boxing events rather than any difference in production value.
Usyk vs Dubois 2: What are the ringwalk times?
Main event ringwalk
The ringwalk timing is where sources showed the most variance. DAZN’s primary listing showed 9:45 PM BST (4:45 PM ET / 1:45 PM PT), while box.live published a 9:30 PM BST estimate. The 15-minute spread wasn’t unusual—boxing broadcasts routinely adjust main event timing based on how quickly undercard fights conclude.
For context, the ESPN report aligned with DAZN’s 9:45 PM BST figure, giving that timing the strongest cross-source backing.
Undercard timing
The undercard began at approximately 5:40 PM BST in the UK (9:40 AM PT / 12:40 PM ET for US viewers). Featured bouts included the Okolie vs Lerena matchup for the WBC Silver Heavyweight title, per DAZN’s fight week coverage.
If you were watching from the US West Coast, you had roughly a four-hour window from undercard start to main event ringwalk—enough time to settle in, but not so long that you’d lose the audience before the headliner.
