London – Olkesendra UCIC on Saturday again dropped Daniel Dubois in Round 5 to become undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.
After the previous reign in the Cruiserweight (2018) and Heavyweight (2024), Ukrainian became the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion for the third time when he put the immersion twice in round 5 in front of around 90,000 at the Wambley Stadium.
Usyk won the IBF title of Dubois to add its WBC, WBA and WBO belt to protect the fifth title.
Usyk first sent the duboys to the canvas with authority over the head for a count before leveling the dip with a left hook.
It was evidence (if the evidence was needed) that usyk is the best heavyweight of its generation, then former champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury were beaten twice.
Earlier this year, Usyk claimed that Dubois will be his terrible fight, the scramble now starts facing 38 -year -old at the end of 2025 before retiring.
However, Fury recently claimed that he would make his ring ring returns vsyk in April next year after losing to Ukrainian in December 2024.
“Thirty -thirty is a young man, 38 is only the beginning,” UCIC said after the ring.
“Maybe Tyson Fury,” Usyk said when asked whom he would fight next.
“Probably Derek Chisora, maybe Anthony Joshua, maybe Joseph Parker, I don’t know.”
Dubois, a 27 -year -old Dubois from Greenwich in South London, lost the belt to protect another title, which was promoted as a full champion from the interim position after leaving the IBF belt last year. London was unable to repeat the heroes last September, when he sent Joshua four times to the canvas in the 5 KO victory. Unlike that corusetting win, Dubois was counted in a battle from the beginning.
In August 2023, the USYK defeated Dubois by round 9 stops, it was even better than the last time and now they are expected to re -box again this year, possibly against Joseph Parker, New Zealand.
Since staying in round 9 by Usyk in August 2023, Dubois has been greatly improved, with a stop -win on Jarell Miller, Philip Hrigovich and Joshua. But he was unable to establish any authority in front of his home fans.
Usyk was quickly in its rhythm and worked most in round 1, piercing the guard of dubois with his Southpow job.
Dubois, which is 11 years younger than usyk and is heavier in 26 pounds compared to usyk, put a strong range of panchs in round 1 together.
But usyk produced some quality work in round 2, as they slipped the Dubois Panchs to land solid left hands again and again.
A large left hook shook the dip in round 3, as UCIC’s smart movement denied any opening of Dubois.
Usyk complained about a low shock in round 4 before a strong finish in the round. In Round 5, usyk lowered a left-right combination as the dip started looking more open and sent to a right to a right on the head to his knees for the first count.
The moment after the dubois got up, usyk finished it. After the Dubois missed a right hand, Usyk ignored a wider left hook to return the British to the canvas. Dubois was left flat on his back and counted.
It was a smart, savese and stoppage from Imperius UCIC, which is beyond any existing heavyweight.
