Oleksandr Usyk delivered a fifth-round knockout of Britain’s Daniel Dubois on Saturday night in London, reclaiming the undisputed heavyweight championship in emphatic style.
The Ukrainian star dropped Dubois twice in the fifth, first with an overhand right, then with a devastating left hand that ended the fight at Wembley Stadium.
With the win, Usyk retained his WBC, WBA, and WBO titles, and reclaimed the IBF belt he vacated last year. His perfect record now stands at 24-0.
Usyk, 38, put on a counter-punching clinic despite giving up size and age, dancing around Dubois and landing at will throughout the early rounds.
After the fight, Usyk hinted at a possible third clash with Tyson Fury but said he first plans to rest and spend time with family.
Dubois, meanwhile, vowed to return, saying: “Take no credit away from that man. I’ll be back.”
