Usyk breaks Dubois to become a heavyweight champion of unquestioning

London – Oleksandr Usyk Ruthil knocked out Daniel Dubois in round 5, so that on Saturday the undisputed world champion in ponderous weight.

The Ukrainian became the first boxer of the men, who for the third time became the undisputed master, after previous reign at Cruiser Wweight (2018) and ponderous (2024), after Dubois baked twice in round 5 before about 90,000 at the Wembley stadium.

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

Usyk for the first time sent Dubois on the canvas with his right head to count before flattening Dubois with the left hook.

This was proof (if you needed evidence) that Usyk is the best ponderous weight of his generation, before the beating of the former masters of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury twice everyone.

After Usyk stated at the beginning of this year that Dubois would be his penultimate fight, Scramble began to face a 38-year-old at the end of 2025 before he retired.

However, Fury recently stated that he would return to the ring vs. Utyk in April next year, after losing to the Ukrainian at points in December 2024.

“Thirty-eight is a juvenile guy, 38 is just the beginning,” said Usyk in the ring.

“Maybe Tyson Fury,” said Usyk, asked who he would fight in the next.

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

27 -year -old Dubois from Greenwich in South London lost the belt in the second defense of the title, was promoted to the full master after Usyk gave up the IBF belt last year. The Londonian was not able to repeat the heroics in September last year, when he sent Joshua four times to the canvas in winning in round 5 KO. Unlike this win, Dubois was counted in a fight, Usyk dictated from the very beginning.

It was even better than the last time Usyk defeated Dubois, to the 9th round, in August 2023, and now it is expected that again this year, probably against Joseph Parker from Modern Zealand.

Since its detention in round 9 by Usyk in August 2023, Dubois has been significantly improved, and the victory of the detention on Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Joshua. But he was unable to determine any authority before home fans.

Usyk quickly fell into his rhythm and performed most of the work in the first round, piercing the guardian Dubois with his stab of Southpaw.

Dubois, which is 11 years younger than the Utyk and weighed £ 26 more heavier than Usyk, collected a mighty series of blows tardy in round 1.

But Usyk created some high -quality works in the second round, when he slipped in Dubois to land solid left hands many times.

The great left hook shocked Dubois for a moment in round 3, because Usyk’s bright movement refused Dubois all holes.

Usyk complained about the low blow in round 4 before a mighty finish to the round. In round 5 Usyk landed on the left right -wing combination, when Dubois began to look more open and throwing right on his head, he sent Dubois to his knees for the first time.

A moment after Dubois got up, Usyk finished it. After Dubois was tardy with his right hand, Usyk stuck a wide left hook to restore the Englishman to the canvas. Dubois was flat on his back and was counted.

It was an bright, wild and scintic space from the ruler of Usyk, which is unpredictable, it seems that for each of the current heavyweight.

Tyson Fury teases stunning signing with Dana White ahead of Anthony Joshua fight: “It’s massive”

There is a up-to-date twist ahead of the fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

After more than a decade of back-and-forth, Fury and Joshua are set to finally do battle later this year, provided both men can overcome the obstacles in the meantime.

Joshua will face Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with the fight coming three months after Fury ended his 16-month retirement in April victory by unanimous decision over Arslanbek Makhmudov.

It seemed Fury would then sit and wait for a clash with Joshua, but he has now decided to fight again, initially expecting it to take place at Frank Warren’s gala in Dublin in August.

That could soon change after “The Gypsy King” attended the UFC White House on Sunday make a shocking announcement that he was going to start working with Dana White.

“I’ll let Dana speak and make the announcement. This is a huge announcement. I’m very excited about this fight [with Joshua]. Work on it lasted over a decade. For some reason this didn’t happen.

“There is a potential fight in August and maybe it will happen at the end of the year [with Joshua]. I can’t wait to fight whoever they put in front of me and get back to what I do best, which is winning.”

UFC CEO White has entered the boxing world this year through his Zuffa Boxing promotion and has been involved in numerous exchanges with other promoters, most notably Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn.

Last month, White announced that he would be the promoter of the Fury vs. event. Joshua, with both Hearn and Queensberry’s Warren denying the claim, but Fury’s shock announcement will now add even more fuel to the fire.

Why Haney’s weight relief wasn’t enough

Image: The 144-Pound Dead End: Why Haney's Weight Concession Wasn't Enough

Devin Haney’s comment that agreeing to the 144-pound catchweight “wasn’t enough” came during a period of intense work toward a welterweight fight.

Haney has publicly discussed a potential fight with Shakur and said he is willing to meet him at 144 pounds. A few days later, the WBO announced Keyshawn as the mandatory challenger to Haney’s title, giving the champion the option of either defending the belt against Keyshawn or continuing to fight without him.


The exchange of views on social media between the fighters provided insight into the conflicting interests at play. Haney verbally agreed to drop down to 144 pounds to accommodate Shakur, while Keyshawn continued to fight for the title against the WBO champion.

Replying to Keyshawn’s X, Shakur wrote:

“I just left, step aside, blessed brother. If not, go cook that nigga!”

Haney later wrote:

“144 is not enough…I still don’t want to fight.”

Overall, the comments raised questions about whether Haney’s willingness to compromise on weight would be enough to overcome the complications caused by Keyshawn’s dutiful stance and Shakur’s reluctance to move forward without his friend’s approval.

For Haney, this situation represents a strategic choice. A title defense against Keyshawn satisfies the WBO, but could delay some of the biggest paydays available to him. Taking the fight to Shakur at 144 pounds or continuing to fight Ryan Garcia or Conor Benn could mean leaving the WBO title behind.

Haney must now decide whether holding the WBO title is worth postponing bigger fights.

Adrien Broner says one world champion hit him so hard his ‘whole body went numb’

Adrien Broner has competed over 40 times in his professional career, but the power of one player clearly stands out in his mind.

Broner was widely considered one of the sport’s stars, having become a three-weight world champion at the age of just 23, and a four-weight world champion at the age of 26, with Oscar De La Hoya being the only man to achieve the latter feat at an earlier age.

At one point, Broner had an undefeated record of 27–0, but the criticism he faced throughout his career was a lack of commitment and discipline, as well as several defeats, meaning the record currently stands at 35 wins from 42 fights.

The first of these losses came to Marcos Maidana in December 2013, when Broner lost his WBA welterweight title in a unanimous decision defeat.

Broner was a huge favorite before the fight, but was dropped twice during the fight, and more than a decade into the fight continues to have a lasting impact on the American. revealing himself in a live broadcast that he was hit so tough that “his whole body went numb.”

Maidana held the WBA Regular super-lightweight title along with the WBA welterweight belt, and his strength was evident throughout his career, with 31 victories coming by knockout.

His victory over Broner became eminent for his two fights with Floyd Mayweather, the first of which ended in a majority decision loss for the Argentine before Mayweather won a unanimous decision in the rematch.

This second meeting turned out to be the last moment in which Maidana took part in the action, he leaves with a final record of 35 wins and 5 losses.
