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.
