Under the dazzling lights of Wembley Stadium, in front of over 90,000 roaring fans, a quiet storm from Ukraine once again reminded the world why he is one of the greatest heavyweights of our time.
On July 19, 2025, Oleksandr Usyk didn’t just defeat Daniel Dubois, he dismantled him.
This was no ordinary rematch. For Dubois, it was a shot at redemption. For Usyk, it was about legacy. And by the time the fifth round bell echoed through the London night, only one man stood tall in the ring — undisputed and undeniable.
The tension in the air was electric. Dubois walked in heavier, bolder, and visibly charged. He had one mission: to erase the memory of their controversial first bout, where he landed a borderline body shot that many believed should’ve ended the fight. But Usyk wasn’t there to debate. He was there to dominate.
And dominate he did.
From the first round, Usyk painted a masterpiece with his gloves. Every step was calculated. Every jab, a statement. He danced just out of range, lured Dubois in, then punished him with surgical precision. His southpaw stance frustrated the Brit. His left hand? A piston. His eyes? Unflinching.
Dubois threw heavy shots, no doubt. But Usyk had the answers — ducking, weaving, countering. Round by round, he broke the younger man down like a chess grandmaster.
The Knockout happened in the fifth.
A flurry. A blur. A lightning-fast combination. And then came the shot, a looping left from Usyk that crashed into Dubois’ jaw like a wrecking ball. The British fighter collapsed, eyes glassy, legs gone. The referee waved it off.
Just like that, it was over.The crowd erupted. Some in disbelief. Most in awe.
Usyk didn’t roar. He didn’t leap on the ropes. He simply raised a glove and bowed his head, like a man who’d just completed a sacred duty.
With the win, Oleksandr Usyk reclaimed the undisputed heavyweight crown, holding the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles all at once — for the second time in his illustrious career.
At 38 years old, he continues to defy age and expectation, carving his name into boxing history with humility, heart, and unmatched skill. Oleksandr Usyk is now a two time Undisputed Heavyweight Champion and a three time Undisputed boxing Champion. The first ever fighter in heavyweight boxing history, to achieve this in the four belt era.
Daniel Dubois? He’ll be back. He showed heart, grit, and courage. But tonight was not his night. Tonight belonged to Usyk — the warrior, the artist, the champion.
