Oleksandr Usyk didn’t just win—he put on a masterclass. A fifth-round knockout of Daniel Dubois at a packed Wembley Stadium crowned him the undisputed heavyweight champion, adding the IBF title to his glittering collection. Fans were still buzzing when the aftershock hit: someone wasn’t letting Usyk enjoy his victory lap for long.
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.
