Usyk stops Dubois in round 5 to reclaim undisputed heavyweight crown

Oleksandr Usyk solidified his legacy as one of boxing’s all-time greats by stopping Daniel Dubois in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium to become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.

In front of 90,000 fans, the 38-year-old Ukrainian outclassed Dubois with precision and movement, flooring him twice in the fifth before the bout was waved off. Usyk reclaimed the IBF title—stripped from him after his 2023 unification win—and now holds all four major belts.

The victory extends his undefeated record to 24-0, while Dubois suffers his third career loss. With possible future opponents including Joseph Parker, Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua, Usyk says he now plans to take a well-earned rest.
