Match Details
- Date: 2025-07-19

- Location: Wembley Stadium, London, United Kingdom
Game Overview
Heavyweight showdown between the highly-touted Ukrainian Vladyslav Sirenko, a big favorite coming off a string of dominant stoppage wins, and the awkward, unconventional Brit Solomon Dacres, who seeks to spring a major upset. The fight is scheduled for 10 rounds by Queensberry Promotions.
Key Factors to Consider
- Sirenko is on a tear, having stopped proven contenders like Andriy Rudenko and Dmytro Dovbyshchenko, the latter of whom is one of only two to go the distance with top prospect Moses Itauma. Dacres has solid wins over David Adeleye and Michael Webster, mostly by decision, but lacks the same level of power and resume depth[2]. Sirenko’s stoppage rate and ability to find the body against mobile, defensive opponents like Dovidzon are notable advantages[2].
- No prior meeting, but both have defeated common journeyman Kamil Sokolowski. Sirenko did it by stoppage, Dacres by decision.
- No reported injuries on either side leading into the bout.
- The bout is in the UK, Dacres’ home territory, but Sirenko’s recent performances suggest he is unfazed by hostile crowds. Betting market and user predictions overwhelmingly favor Sirenko[1][3].
- Sirenko is chasing world title contention and cannot afford a slip; Dacres, as a heavy underdog, is motivated but faces a massive step-up in competition[2].

Predicted Outcome
Sirenko is expected to impose his physicality and experience, pressing Dacres early and progressively breaking down the Brit’s awkward style with body work. Dacres’ best hope is to survive, frustrate, and maybe snag a decision, but Sirenko’s pressure and finishing instincts should carry the day, with a stoppage in the second half likely[2].
Predicted Score: Sirenko by TKO/KO (Round 7)
