Even a downpour couldn’t wash away the electric buzz at Wembley Stadium as fans, celebrities, and sports stars gathered for one of the most highly anticipated boxing nights of the year — the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.
The rain may have soaked the undercard fighters, who were spotted heading to the ring under umbrellas, but the excitement for the heavyweight clash remained sky-high.
Star-Studded Crowd Lights Up London
Wembley’s VIP section looked more like a red carpet than a boxing arena.
Among the first to arrive was none other than YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, showing up to take in the action.
Sitting nearby? Former 007 himself, Daniel Craig, and world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, who was still moving well despite recently completing an Ironman 70.3.
Ramsay didn’t just show up — he made a bold prediction, backing Dubois to win in round seven.
From Action Heroes to Podcasters, Everyone Showed Up
The guest list had something for everyone.
Action star Jason Statham rubbed shoulders with Game of Thrones favorite Kit Harington, while comedian duo Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe — co-hosts of the popular Parenting Hell podcast — brought their signature banter to the event.
TikTok and podcast personality GK Barry (Grace Keeling) was also spotted soaking in the Wembley vibes.
Hollywood star Liev Schreiber, best known for Ray Donovan, added some more A-list presence to the packed venue.
Football World Well Represented in the VIP Lounge
Football fans had plenty of familiar faces to spot in the crowd.
Four Tottenham Hotspur players — James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Djed Spence, and Dominic Solanke — were all seen enjoying the pre-fight atmosphere.
Joining them were England striker Callum Wilson, former West Ham favorite Michail Antonio, and ex-Tottenham and England legend Jermain Defoe.
Boxing Royalty and Global Influencers Make an Appearance
Naturally, the world of boxing turned out in full force.
Former champions Frank Bruno and Prince Naseem Hamed were among the first to arrive, their presence a reminder of Britain’s rich fighting history.
Also in attendance was Turki Al-Sheikh, the powerful Saudi Arabian sports promoter and chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, whose growing influence is rapidly reshaping the international boxing scene.
Ukrainian Stars Rally Behind Their Champion
The Ukrainian support was strong and proud.
Former Ballon d’Or winner Andriy Shevchenko, current national team goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, and national coach Serhiy Rebrov all showed up to back Oleksandr Usyk.
They weren’t alone. Olympic high jump champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Olympic boxer Oleksandr Khyzhniak were also among the high-profile Ukrainian delegation cheering for their countryman.
Fight Night in the Rain Doesn’t Dampen the Hype
Despite the dreary London skies, the crowd inside Wembley was buzzing.
This wasn’t just a fight — it was a spectacle.
The rematch carried extra weight after their controversial first meeting in Poland last year, where Usyk stopped Dubois in the ninth round after a questionable low blow stirred debate.
This time around, the stakes were even higher — and so was the guest list.
