There was no doubt about Oleksandr Usyk's victory over Daniel Dubois in today's rematch. He dominated the fight and knocked Dubois out in the fifth round, becoming him the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world once again. Usyk (24-0, 15 KO) was all over Dubois (22-3, 21 KO) from the start. He out-boxed his younger opponent with his better skill and fought like a champion who was there to prove a point and put an end to all doubts about who was the better fighter. Dubois didn't fight badly; he just wasn't as good as the other guy. He was knocked down in the fifth round, got back up, and then a huge left punch put him out cold a few seconds later. Usyk, who is 38 years old, claimed that his age is "just a start" and just hinted at what can come next for him. He has done everything that someone can do in the sport. When asked what he intends to do next, Usyk said, in his usual way, "Nothing." That's enough. I don't know what to do next. I need to relax. I don't know. I'm going home with my wife and kids. I want to sleep now. When asked who he might want to fight next, he answered, "Maybe Tyson Fury." We might have three other choices: Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua, or Joseph Parker. "I can't say right now because I want to go home." Fury has indicated that he wants to face Usyk again in April 2026, and Turki Alalshikh has also said that he wants to make that fight happen. "I have to give him credit; I gave it my all," Dubois added. "I could have done a few things better, but don't take credit from the man. I'll be back." I did my best. Let's go back to the drawing board and try again. "We attempted to get started. Dubois' trainer, Don Charles, remarked, "He is a young champion, 27 years old, and what he has done so far is amazing." "He'll come back from this stronger." Usyk is a brilliant champion, one of the best of his time. "That's the kind of person you should lose to." Results for the undercard Lawrence Okolie won a clear but boring fight against Kevin Lerena in 10 rounds, with scores of 99-91, 100-90, and 100-90. Okolie (22-1, 16 KO) isn't the most interesting man in general, at least not as exciting as his KO percentage would make you assume if you hadn't seen him fight. However, his style can work, and he's still getting used to being a full-fledged heavyweight. Lerena's record is at 31-4 with 15 KOs. 6'6" Daniel Lapin of Ukraine won a close decision over Lewis Edmondson by scores of 95–95, 96–94, and 96–94. Lapin (12-0, 4 KO) might be a very tough southpaw for other 175-pounders to fight, but he still has a long way to go before he can be a genuine contender. Edmondson (11-1, 3 KO) was able to mess up the bout a little and make it tight. Heavyweight Solomon Dacres won again, this time by a wide decision over a slow-moving Vladyslav Sirenko. Dacres (10-1, 3 KO) had just lost to David Adeleye in the first round, but he did what he had to do in this fight. Sirenko (22-1, 19 KO) honestly looked like a boxer whose level was being greatly exposed after only fighting club fighters last year, which was all he had done since 2021.
