Oleksandr Usyk is undisputed heavyweight champion for a second time in his career. Usyk dominated Daniel Dubois in their rematch in London. With the win, Usyk added the IBF title he never lost to his WBA,
Carl Froch believes that Daniel Dubois submitted himself to a loss after going down from an Oleksandr Usyk right hook in the fifth round of their undisputed fight at Wembley . The former super middleweight champion said he was ‘disappointed’ in Dubois for going down to a shot that looked as though it should not have put him on the canvas.
Usyk's technical ability was on full display as he sidestepped everything thrown his way with deceptive ease and connected repeatedly with his jab, putting on a masterclass in counter-punching.
Dubois was the beneficiary of this move by the IBF, picking up the interim title with a June 2024 stoppage of Filip Hrgovic and then being elevated to full champion after Usyk was stripped. Dubois then defended his title with a spectacular knockout of Anthony Joshua in Wembley Stadium.
