Usyk strikes dubois to become undisputed heavyweight champion

Usyk strikes dubois to become undisputed heavyweight champion


London – Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois ruthlessly turned out 5 in round to become a heavyweight world champion again on Saturday.

The Ukrainian was the first men's boxer to be an undisputed champion for the third time after he was in cruiser weight (2018) and heavyweight (2024) after having hit Dubois twice in round 5 in front of around 90,000 in the Wembley Stadium.

Usyk won Dubois' IBF title to add his WBC, WBA and WBO belts in a fifth title defense.

For the first time, Usyk sent Dubois to the canvas right onto the screen before moving dubi with a left hook.

It was proof (if the proof was needed) that Usyk was the best heavyweight of his generation after having previously twice two champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

After Usyk claimed that Dubois would be his penultimate fight at the beginning of this year, the Scramble is now competing against the 38-year-old in late 2025 before retiring.

However, Fury recently claimed that in April next year he would bring his ring back against Usyk after he lost to the Ukrainians against points in December 2024.

“Thirty -eight is a young man, 38 is only the beginning,” said Usyk in the ring.

“Maybe Tyson Fury,” said Usyk when he was asked who he would fight next.

“Maybe Derek Chisora, maybe Anthony Joshua, maybe Joseph Parker, I don't know.”

The 27 -year -old Dubois from Greenwich in Südlondon lost the belt in a second title defense after being promoted from the intermediate status to the full master after Usyk gave up the IBF Belt last year. The Londoner could not repeat the heroic deeds last September when he sent Joshua four times with a co -victory of the 5th round to the screen. In contrast to this Koruszing victory, Dubois was counted in a fight in a fight in a fight.

It was even better than last time when Usyk Dubois defeated in round 9 in August 2023, and he is now expected that he would later box again this year, possibly against New Zealand Joseph Parker.

Since Dubois was stopped in round 9 by Usyk in August 2023, he has been significantly improved because Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Joshua after stopover against Jarrell Miller. But he could not build authority in front of his home fans.

Usyk was quickly into his rhythm and did most of the work in round 1 and Piercing Dubois' wake up with his southern pot coil.

Dubois, who is 11 years younger than Usyk and weighed £ 26 than Usyk, put together a strong row of blows late in round 1.

But Usyk produced some high -quality work in round 2 when he hit dubois to repeatedly land firmly left hands.

A large left hook shook dubois in round 3 when the intelligent movement of USYK Dubois refused to open all the openings.

Usyk complained about a low blow in round 4 before a strong finish of the round was. In round 5, Usyk landed a combination of left -wing rights when Dubois looked more open and sent a look on his head, dubois sent to his knees for the first count.

Moments after dubis got up, Usyk ended it. After missing Dubois with a right hand, Usyk caught a curved left hook to return the Englishman to the screen. Dubois was left flat on the back and counts.

It was a clever, wild and dazzling interruption of Imperious Usyk that goes beyond the current heavyweights beyond the range.
