Oleksandr Usyk won the undisputed world title by knocking out Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their fight.
The fight was for the undisputed world heavyweight title according to the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO. It was a rematch: the boxers first met in the ring in August 2023, when Usyk knocked out Dubois in the ninth round. Usyk regained the IBF title, which he was forced to relinquish because he was unable to defend it at the time, and defended his championship in the other three versions.
“I want to thank all of Ukraine, all the guys who are defending our country. I received many messages from various units defending Ukraine,” Usyk said after the fight.
